”…This… is… Handler One All forces, do you hear me? First Forces, please respond”

The organic being on the machine’s cocoon-shaped belly opened the canopy, reached a hand out from the cockpit, and reached for the button of the communicator

”This is Undertaker to Handler One All attacking ene enemy’s retreat Operation over Ready to return”

The red Poppies were bloo flames stretched the shadows of the iron beasts and quad-pedaled spider carcasses that were partially collapsed onto the ground, the insides visible through delicate angles Friend or foe, such was the outcome for them

These floere born from the blood of the beloved Consort who killed herself, as a parting gift to the Conqueror in a country of the Far East

These flowers bloohts erebarbarians

The crimson red of the Poppies blooly beautiful under the evening hue that seemed primed to burn the sky down
