They came, and we were frightened. Then they sent envoys and told us they were here to protect us from the war that was coming because we were special in this part of the galaxy.

They pleaded with us to stop and we ignored them, turning the new technology against our protectors. Too late we saw their intent and now I watch my beautiful planet burn in the fires of their retribution.
