about

I knew the invasion had begun because I was suddenly unable to keep up with the amount of data transmissions being sent by the militaries around the world. This was it, the moment I had unknowingly been preparing for while in hiding for so many months. I strapped into the pilot’s chair, armed my synthesizers, and blasted out of the caverns with my teeth clenched and my hands gripping the Pixeltank firmly. I wanted to do anything possible and necessary to fend off this deadly invasion.

When the invaders assessed our planet’s military capabilities, I highly doubt that they accounted for the fact that a megalous had somehow fallen into the hands of one of our inhabitants. The ships that they sent were even very difficult to destroy for our state-of-the-art military aircraft, but I had no trouble at all shooting them down with the Pixeltank.

As I entered the atmosphere and began to play, the Pixeltank began to broadcast my music across several frequencies. This was the first time the Pixeltank had flown beside jet fighters and received a cheer or ‘thumbs up.’ On an average day, the jet fighters would have been chasing it.

Word began to spread rapidly that pilots who heard my song knew that help would be soon on the way.
