A tribute to our legendary D&D party

"Hear me, citizens of the Academy.
The years of isolation are over.
Our hour has come.

We hid behind walls not out of fear—we were forging the future while they played politics.
We remained silent not from weakness—we were tallying their mistakes.
Now is the time to present them the bill.

Our planetary neighbors have forgotten the meaning of fear.
Forgotten the sound of truth unfiltered by lies.
They dared to cast their greedy gaze upon the Academy?
They crave our knowledge, our lands, our minds?
Good.

We will show them what it means to become enemies of the Academy.
We shall become the nightmare of any who dare oppose us.

Now our tanks will trample their armies into mud.
Our artillery will bring the very sky crashing down upon them.
Our missiles will reduce their capitals to nothing but radioactive ash.
And our air force will turn the sky into a fiery hell,
where the air is thick with terror and soot from their burning cities.

We are no mere nation.
We are progress's punishing sword.
We are their worst nightmare.
We are the storm that will sweep away their pitiful maps and plans.
We are the dawn of a new era,
where our enemies' flags will turn to dust beneath our boots.

We never wanted this war.
But if it comes—we will end it in such a way
that the dust from their cities will settle for centuries.
If they so desire our technologies—
they shall have them.
In the form of fire.
In the form of molten metal.

We have been silent too long.
Now—it is our turn to speak.
And the whole world will hear us—
In the thunder of our guns.
In the roar of our engines.
In the death screams of those who dared challenge us.

For the glory of the Academy!
For the glory of Science!
For the glory of the new world
we will build upon the ruins of the old!"
