Rumble, Shatter and Roll [Open]
The dark factory of Venjix belched smoke and soot, billowing clouds of radioactive waste boiling out and concealing the dark horrors within layers of smoke.
In the middle of the "throne room", a golden tower with angry red lights blinked on. "GRINDERS," boomed Venjix.
On cue, a group of Grinders appeared and swarmed around the room.
"THE TIME HAS COME. THREE FACILITIES HAVE BEEN RAIDED AND THE SUPPLIES GIVEN TO US. TWO MORE REMAIN. PREPARE THE ATTACK BOTS, WE HASTEN TO WAR."

Evening. May 28.
Location: The Power Plants. A heavily guarded facility with a steady stream of workers, but not only that, a vast housing of military might protecting it.
As a place of importance, it was in fact one of the primary targets. It had been one once before with the oil refinery close by and tonight was no exception.
The guard on duty at the front gate gripped his rifle nervously. There had been strange activity at the plant for the last few weeks and with Venjix so silent up till now, things were getting potentially dangerous. Major facilities, food, supplies, fish hatcheries and refineries had been locked down.
His radio squacked and he picked it up. "Johnston."
"John, we've got trouble. South gate."
Johnston picked up his rifle and signaled for his relief as he dashed down the hallways before reaching the South gate. There, a pair of men stood, Sgt. Norris and Capt. Chuck Weiserman. "Sirs?"
"We've got telemetry from Gate 4. A squad of Venjix just broke through and are headed this way. We've got two attack bots with them."
"Great. Did you put out the call to the teams?"
"Already did. They'll be here in ten minutes." Sgt. Norris smirked. "Buck up. We've got blasters."
"And they've got legions of robotic soliders who won't die easily. Bonus."
"We're all gonna die," chuckled Weiserman and the other men glared at his fatalism.
