LATE OCTOBER 2188

---

THEY APPEARED ALL AT ONCE, all over the major homeworlds. In the hearts of every Reaper infestation, the middles of the fiercest battles that yet waged against the millions of husks and Reaper creatures still infesting each planet. Yet unlike everywhere they'd appeared previously, the strange tattered figures dubbed "Vectors" uttered only one word.

"CeAsE."

With one touch from each, as if they were hit by a disintegration weapon, waves of Reaper creatures simply vanished into ash. With each Vectors' influence seemingly overlapping the others, the phenomenon blanketed entire planets. The mammoth hulks of Reaper Destroyers and Capitals shrank and dissipated. The Vectors then vanished as if they had never been. All whom had waged a seemingly hopeless battle previously could do nothing but stand in shocked awe and stunned surprise. Many could not believe it. Many would not believe it. Despite those misgivings it was quite obvious. The Reaper War seemed well and now-truly finished. Governments counted their blessings and planned celebrations followed by rebuilding action plans. Some however were neither so joyous nor so certain. Worlds were still wrecked and billions had perished, millions of corpses littered every world, planets stank of despair and were soaked in grief. It had seemed as if the one blessing all prayed for had simply appeared and had been delivered, then the redeemers simply vanished without demand or recompense.

Nothing happened without a reason.

This "miracle" was no exception.
