(An encoded transmission intercepted prior to the arrival of the first Generator and Augment on Earth)
Greetings people from another world. The Xexian formal introduction normally takes up three hundred of your pages, but time is short and thus we will skip all of that. Please excuse the informality of this message.
Your planet is in peril. Our people, the Xexians, will be arriving soon. You may ask yourselves why an invader is warning you of its impending arrival in such a way. For that explanation, we will need to go back to the very beginning.
Xexians pre-date many races in the galaxy. We are well known as being humanoid, with purple skin and blonde hair. We had eyes, once, but that is now irrelevant, and the explanation is to come. Our advancements in science and technology progressed at a rapid rate, reaching space while many other planets were still in their infancy. As a people, we came to depend so much on technology that we literally could not live without it. The food supply was extinguished long ago from our planet, we have lived off of nutrient recycling implants for millions of years, to the point that we actually cannot physically eat or create waste matter. Our children, while still born via conception and gestation, are raised throughout their childhood in accelerated tubes. It is considered morally abhorrent to completely do away or tamper with natural biological stucture, as such androids and cloning were strictly outlawed. We are aware the hypocrisy involved in our implants, but that was necessary for survival.
There came a time when our mere mortal bodies could not manage the many complex mainframes and A.I.s, so we elected to create one A.I. to run everything. Something went wrong, however, and the A.I., H.A.C.K., began to patiently carry out a deeprooted program created by one of the most genius, yet horridly misguided, programmers.
It started with the creation of an synthetic plague that decayed our bodies, forcing us to implant synthetic organs and to delay the release of that year's newborns. H.A.C.K. took advantage of the single minded focus on eliminating the "mysterious" plague to subtley alter the children's minds and bodies, implanting each with Energy Transfer Units, which basically turned them into batteries for the core system. To prevent rebellion, he out and out destroyed all semblance of personality within each child.
When the plague had been dealt with and we released the children finally with hopes of giving them a better place to live, we were horrified to see they had become walking batteries and containers for parts of H.A.C.K.'s program core.
Thus began the New Generation War, which ended with the "Outsiders" as we were called being enslaved by the "Augments" and "Generators" under H.A.C.K.. Since Xexians can only give birth twice in their entire life and this new breed is naturally incapable of feeling pleasure, each couple is forced to give up their first child to H.A.C.K.
Sometimes, the first will die for a number of reasons, and H.A.C.K. will seek out the second child and make it an Augment (Generators need to be programmed from birth).
Not content with just the knowledge from our world, H.A.C.K. has been sending his Generators and Augments to different worlds to capture new subjects for "Study". Once he feels he has gained sufficient knowledge, he will do one of two things:
1) Enslave the entire planet like he did us.
2) If the planet is a threat, he will eradicate it.
Augments and Generators are machines, they hunt down any living being and scan it, before either destroying it or sending it back to Xexia for further study. Beware, Generators are always guarded by a legion of robots, equally as soulless and cold as they are. Augments are physically stronger than their Generator counterparts, and are known emit high levels of energy. All Xexians have an innate bond with the cosmos, and thus the power of darkness is latently at our command. H.A.C.K. used mystics from a certain world to bring out this power in his augments and generators, thus making them even stronger.
Beware, do not show them mercy, for they will show you none.
