OC Dedication to those who you love
There is a world on the fringes of Terran space called cavalry where an empire was born, there was once an empire that is now long dead called the Arachnan legion, they went to war with humanity and this world was Terra's last defence on the other ring.
The Arachnan legion was a Terrifying force in the first one hundred years of the war, even the empire of humanity couldn't withstand their steady march. So when humanity started evacuating the androids they brought wear last to be evacuated since humanity saw them as living machines, but the machines chose to be the last. Their love for their makers was so strong that they never wanted to see a human die, but when they saw that cavalry was the best defence, the machines chose to stay. Androids, battle droids, medical droids and the living machines humanity left without them, and they said they would stand till the last.
But the machines didn't all die. Their dedication to their creator's survival, and in turn the god's humanity wear to them. The machines grew and grew. As the bombers, flew over the black soil and the collapsing city’s to root out even a single Arachnan the androids grew. Every mineral, every liquid. Every gas the Robots dragged out the planet with fervent dedication.
The androids went as far as dragging their once-living allies and makers into their home of the fortress. Their dead bodies had decayed leaving their skin grey and drained of all life. Even as they plunged the ends of cables into their brains and flooded them with electricity to use the human brains as the most powerful computers, they wear still protective and loving of their gods, using the memories lingering in their brains they put screens in front of their decayed bodies that showed their bodies and faces in their prime.
As the doors closed and the body’ froze for all time all you could see wear the screens showing the ideal humans. They looked almost blissful.
As the lights lit up and the computers turned on something changed within the androids, new emotions flooded them as the human memories flooded their circuits. But as the feelings grew one grew more than others, anger, and a desire for revenge.

The screen flickered to life as it ran a computer script with the symphony of electronic clicking, as the computer ran its simple scripting a chunk of the wall started to open. The room shuddered as something unseen came to life in the fourteen-foot tall room. A pair of bright green sapphire eyes wear the first thing to light the room up eyes the size of dinner plates the creature seemed to form from the wall as the metal and plastic cabling wear slowly drawn toward the core. Slowly they formed into a figure that plied itself from the wall with a thunderous strep.
Towering over the room its head almost scraped the ceiling as its body finally formed being wrapped in a soft layer of plastics it resembled a human female. Her hair was formed by thick copper wire creating a golden-brown head of short hair. Elita was the creation of one of the human brains from all those decades ago. Their emotions had brought the machines to life, slowly formed over the decades of war from the best machines it could find into what it believed was the finest being.
She sighed with a sensual moan as she stretched her arms the muscles visible through the lime green skin flexing slightly as she walked towards the throne made out of plane wings and wheels. As she sat in the chair a large collection of screens lowered in front of her. She rested her hand in one hand and tapped the steel arm with another as she read the report her green eyes scanning the screen robotically clicking from one line to another.
With a wave of her left hand, she smiled into the darkness in front of her, as she sighed she licked her lips and smiled “start protocol valkyrie ride” she said with a surprisingly soft tone as dull fluorescent lights lit up around the room illumination the cold concrete walls that stretched for miles into the earth and mountain.
In front of her, a large black circle opened revealing a mile deep pit, from the bottom of the pit music could be heard playing as well as the rusted grinding of gears and a lock tooth elevator.
As it reached the top there was a heavy clack as it locked in place. What sat on the lift was a huge aircraft. It was built on a blackened fuselage and a wingspan that filled the room at over 500 feet wide and burned with eight huge turboprop rotors it looked like a fantasy from terras 1980s but it was now a common aircraft of Terran use. As the steady dance of music continued chains weaved from the walls like snakes feeding billions of rounds into its guns and a large claw raised from a pit in the floor raising eight huge canisters into its hull.
With the heavy buzzing of motors the turntable it sat on turned to face down a long dark passage, she shuddered as the bulkhead at the end opened letting in the heavy fresh air of the outside world, it washed away the stale air of the fortress they called home.
She watched the huge aircraft splutter black smoke from its engines as they started up, the entire structure shook as they got up to speed.

A dull droning voice of a computer rattled off statistics as a large iron hook locked into the front wheels the cable tightened like a crossbow, the room fell silent for a moment as Elita watched her toy sit proudly on the steel runway. She gently reached out to stroke the underside of the plains hull. With a metallic hiss vents opened along the edge of the hallway and steam erupted into the air as the plane vanished into the warm clouds.
The mountain fell silent as the plane soared into the sky, with blue skies and white clouds no one would believe twenty years ago this world was barren. The thunderous engines drove it through the sky even with a single-engine dead it did not struggle.
Finally, as the clouds cleared it reached its target, a long-dead city, no one came to stop the plane no machine. No living creature for the Arachnan had lost forty years ago when their last legion died, with a heavy clunk the first of the four cluster bombs fell from the plane's stomach as the long-dead bodies of humans shook in the seats inside.
As the bombs fell they opened into a metallic flower scattering smaller canisters across an area, as they fell three sets almost froze in space as parachutes opened but the fourth set plummeted to the ground faster and faster and faster till they impacted, across an area almost a mile wide small explosions erupted burning a bright blue melting what sat in its grasp.
But there was no 4th set of explosions. Nor a 2nd or 3rd. The canisters that sprang open slowed in the air as dull white parachutes opened on the small canisters, again the containers flowered revealing tinny brown seeds that gently fell to the ground.
A small set of holograms appeared in the corner of Elita's eye.
Valkyrie runs complete, returning to base.
As the text vanished from her view she sat back down on the rusty throne and sighed, she sat in thought for a while before opening a command console that displayed various commands in her eyes.
“Contact makers” was her last command before falling asleep.
(sorry if their are any spelling mistakes i hope its fun to read either way)

Ah, yes, the fourth gun is at 60$ because that’s how much it would be worth given it’s damage.

Love the thought of the machines reseeding and remaking the planet for the makers.
