Core Prime:Present time.
With a loud humm and an electronic glow the Galactic Gate came to life. The Core army prepared to go through and once again begin their galactic domination. Their sensors had picked up a positive ID for ARM units on a nearby planet. They were on their way to begin the extermination.
Core Prime: 1 Year earlier.
For years now the Core had been looking for a way to finally bring about the destruction of the ARM scum. Central Concious had finally began project Parasite as a means by which to do just that. Project Parasite entailed creating a battle ready offensive program. In essance a super virus, the BROP could be broadcast across a wide spectrum of media infecting all recieving computers and quickly spreading. It's eventual goal would be to make it's way to Arms High Command and infect, self replicate, and then shut HC down. Tested time and again, the BROP was finally completed and perfect. Like as not, however, Central Concious knew that it's computers were equally susceptible to the virus should they somehow become infected. Upon the completion of project Parasite, project Antidote was quickly started by a seperate group and was kept top secret, or so it was thought. Useing captured technology the ARM had hoped to hack into and eventually find a way of destroying Central Consious's database. In this way they had stumbled upon project Antidote and began watching it progress with much interest, useing the information they gathered to begin their own research.
Months passed and the ARM began to notice that more and more was going towards project Antidote and that CORE production had slowed dramatically. They began to form their plan to make a major offensive move and throw the CORE into panic. 2 weeks later the ARM made their move. With their massive army they quickly took 4 of the lesser guarded planets under CORE control with minimal loss. The CORE were caught entirely by surprise and at the same time learned of the ARMS infiltration into their technology and computer systems. They thought much as to what to do and in the end, knowing that they would sustain extreme losses and major setbacks with this ARM advancement they determined to use their BROP ahead of schedule. Central Concious and what few commanders were left on Core Prime quickly added the new technology from Antidote to their databases. Haveing not tested it nor fully completed it they were takeing a chance, however minimal. It was determined,though, that the chances of any CORE unit containing Antidote becomeing infected were next to nothing. CORE sent all the forces they had on the nearby planets to Seti Prime, location of the largest ARM presence, and put their plan into action. Placeing the BROP into a non encoded message they broadcast it across the battlefield. ARM took the bait. Intercepting the transmission, the lead commander became infected, was used as a breeding ground, then unwillingly sent out a virus infected message to all nearbye units. Haveing done it's job, the mother virus shut down, takeing the ARM commander with it. The lifeless Kbot slumped and fell to the ground. Seeing this the CORE commanders send messages to Central Concious.
**Transmission succesful. Commander destroyed.**
With the life support systems shutdown the commanders pilot took one last look out his portal. The maverick standing nearbye went dark, slumped, then sprawled to the ground. Seeing this, the clone took his last breathe and perished. The end had begun.
The virus quickly spread throughout the battlefield. It then made its way across space to the nearest ARM outposts and soon they too were infected and shut down. Millions of minds rejoiced at Central Concious for the ARM downfall was near. It appeared that High Command would soon be shut down and the last ARM be exterminated leaving the galaxy to CORE. Central concious was troubled though. It felt an absence. Something was not right. More absence...and it was growing. The minds no longer rejoiced for they felt it too. Something had gone terribly wrong. Quickly going through all possibilities the CC finally concluded....A unit must have somehow become infected. Action needed to be taken quickly. Worlds could be rebuilt, army's could be reproduced, CORE could live on. Quickly all commanders with the new Antidote technology made their way to spacecraft similarly equipped. Lifting off, CC and the commanders severed all ties from Core Prime. The plan had been a success. Though the losses were great CC was intact and the ARM crushed. The galaxy was CORE's.
High Command: At attack time.
The battles had gone well. The ARM had gained ground with minimal losses. They knew that they could soon gain control of some of CORE's main resource planets and strike a major hit. They had just gained Seti Prime when they detected the CORE resistance. They knew it would come sooner or later and they were ready. This would be the biggest battle yet and they expected to win. The lead commander stood poised with his front squad awaiting the attack. Thats when it happened. HC command attempted to contact the lead commander. Nothing. A second attempt proved futile as well. Next they attempted to contact all commanders on that planet. Nothing. Within milliseconds their scans showed whole army's dissapearing. They concluded there was only one reason...CORE had unleashed the virus. When CORE had discovered ARM's infiltration they isolated it and was thus able to keep the information of the virus usage from ARM. Caught completely off guard HC panicked. They quickly released the latest technology gained from Antidote into all units on their home planet and any neighboring plants they could. They then severed ties with all planets. They were alone. ARM's war machine was completely wiped out. All that was left was on their home planet, Empyrrean, and a few scattered units on other planets. The technology ARM had used had worked...the virus was stopped...but all too late. They would have to rebuild. With no knowledge of CORE's troubles the ARM felt that their imenent destruction was near.
Both sides began their rebuilding, neither aware of the other. They moved from planet to planet, reclaiming their useless units and useing the resources to once again build thier army. ARM was always weary of possible attack while CORE went about their plans to build the ultimate pattern galaxy.
Core Prime: Present day.
The discovery of ARM scum on neighboring planets was a blow to Central Concious to say the least. How they got their and how they survived the virus was irrelevent. The only thing that mattered was that they exterminate them, and fast. They could not allow them to rebuild further without resistance. Bringing all expansion to a halt they focused on building their army once again.
Empyrrean: Present day.
With the discovery that CORE was virtually defensless the ARM quickly pushed towards Core Prime in hopes of gaining as much of the galaxy as possible without confrontation. It could only be guessed that they were presumed destroyed and so they began building their biggest army ever in hopes of surpriseing the CORE and completely eliminateing them once and for all.
