Hazard : Mental instability. Inability to control rogue units. High likelihood of going rogue.
Remedy : Customers should contact their Support Specialists immediately.
Mission objective failed
BASTION received emergency order from Ministry-12 to reinforce the palace compound outside the city at Midnight.
The residential Trueborn himself took to leading the various arriving security forces, including BASTION SWAT teams and deployed them around the palace grounds over the next hour. High Commissioner Kass Aurelia was personally summoned by the Trueborn human as a bodyguard at 2am.
First contact with intruders were confirmed via radio at dawn by local palace security. Forward position confirmed targets as three Warriors of Light soon after contact.
Reinforcements, including the Trueborn human and High Commissioner Kass converged on last known position of targets. By the time they arrived, all other reinforcements were incapacitated.
At this point, the chain of events began to diverge. High Commissioner Kass claims the Warriors of Light overwhelmed the the Trueborn and subsequently retreated after completing their mission.
Body cam footage from incapacitated officers show High Commissioner Kass fending off the attacker successfully after imitating their attacks. The Trueborn immediately attacked the High Commissioner from behind but was struck down quickly.
Neither claims can be substantiated as the battlefield suffered extensive damage and no surveillance or forensic evidence can be recovered.
OFFWORLD TRANSMISSION
In the aftermath of the engagement at the Palace. High Commissioner Kass chased down the Warriors of Light through a portal into an unfamiliar world with a large force of arriving BASTION units in tow.
There, they were joined by a much larger unit of Ministry-12 Special Forces unit already present. Together they closed in the on the Warriors of Light at their hideout in a large fortified settlement.
After a prolonged engagement, two Warriors of Light were vanquished. An unknown number of resistance to escape via unknown means. BASTION reported 127/127 casualty. Ministry-12 Special Forces reported 392/416 casualty.
Requesting Reinforcements.

OFFWORLD TRANSMISSION

Light level at local power plant affirms our assessment that two Warriors of Light were terminated.
Team will rendezvous with reinforcements at the local Aetheryte before proceeding to next objective off-world."

OFFWORLD MISSION
"How did this happen."
"Many apologies, we took a risk to take down the Warriors of Light and retire the rogue unit... and it failed. It will not happen again. I swear on our eternal lives."
"Do what you will."
"Where..."
"Do what you will..."
Aurelia woke in a makeshift settlement. The locals nursed her back to health, mistaking her for one of the Warriors of Light.
She vaguely remember getting shot in the back. Unable to find an immediate way to return and faced with a betrayal, she remained in the settlement to observe them.
Although initially restless from culture shock, as months passed, Aurelia began enjoying a life without weight of responsibility. Along the way she was picking up bits and pieces of information unknown to her or those on her world. Day by day, she began to question her orders, her decisions, and her actions.
One day as she was watering crops, a young boy came through the Aetherytes from far away to seek help.
Vona Sion, the last surviving Warrior of Light bequeathed away her belongings, said her goodbye, and left on a mission to Earth across the Aetherytes. The boy hoped to rally survivors across the dying worlds to help her on Earth.
The boy's plea inadvertently shed light on Aurelia's true identity. To her surprise, the locals knew from the very beginning, but they still saved her.
She simply asked the boy for Vona's journal and promised to return them to her before set off for Earth.

REWIND
The Paradise that Shouldn't
You have been lied to.
The Trueborns are created just like you. They inherited this world from the same people that made you.
The Trueborns are not immortal. They are merely using the Golden Spire on Luna left behind by their creators to siphon away the Magic of this and many other worlds to fuel their power and immortality.
You were all supposed to be children and successors to these you call Trueborn, but instead, they made you serve their pilfered immortality. Everyone on this world was created with a kill switch so they may kill any and everyone on a whim. As they have done many times before.
They crossed through the Aetherytes into many other worlds and stolen their Magic. They sent their servants to kill those who resisted them and silenced all who knew the truth of this world.
Now time is running out for our worlds and yours as the Trueborn siphons away the very magic that keep the worlds alive. Even if it's too late for our worlds and us, there may still be time left for you and your world.
When this message reaches you, The Trueborns will surely use the kill switch on this world again.
I wish there were other ways, but time is running out for everyone.
Please do not be afraid, join me in our last fight against the Trueborn. I will stop them from activating the kill switch! All you have to do is reach your hand out toward the Moon and reclaim what is stolen from you! For you, for everyone. Please believe in me!
No Tyrant rules forever!
The Paradise that isn't
At first, people across the world dismissed the message. Nothing happened when the few curious raised their hands toward Luna.
Instead, they feel an impending sense of doom as everyone around them begin to collapse in agony. The few unaffected by it can do nothing but watch in horror as those collapsing in pain begin to congregating and amble toward centers of a few major cities.
Then, after what seems like hours, there was a bright white flash that illuminated the blue moon.
At first, only those unaffected by the pain saw the flash. Instinctively, a few raised their hands toward Luna.
A magical warmth flowing from their hand to their core. Then, as they begin to wonder about the truth of the message, they were joined by those who were snapped out of their agonizing pain.
As more and more people regained their magic, violence and chaos spread across the world as mobs of angry citizens clashed against the police and those in power. Others took advantage of their newfound power on unsuspecting citizenry.
Aurelia arrived at One Police Plaza to the surprise of her surviving subordinates. Split between their existing duty and their new found information, they looked to Aurelia for guidance. She ordered BASTION to mobilize toward Luna and the knowledge of the Aetherytes to Luna be spread before personally disappearing in a flash of light in front of a large glowing crystal at Somnia Square. This would be the last time anyone see Aurelia publicly on Earth.
On Luna, atop the Golden Spire, rebelling guards overwhelmed the few remaining loyal to the Trueborn. Though each individual was no match for the still potent magic of the Trueborn tyrants, they are soon joined by people arriving via the Aetherytes from all over the worlds as Earth was lit ablaze in conflict.
Cross to the Moon
Return
In the end, Vona stood alone against the Trueborns in Golden Spire. Although her magic was no match for them without the help of her three companions, the last Warrior of Light managed to use her remaining strength to destroy the crystal core that powered all the Trueborns' world spanning magic, including the one that enacts the kill switch.
Without the core, people across the worlds rose up in rebellion against the Trueborns.
Many voluntarily crossed Aetheryte to return magic back to other world in crystalized form. They often carried with them a copy of Vona's journal so they may spread the story of the past Warriors of Light and their sacrifice to save the worlds.
Aurelia, too, crossed the Aetherytes. She carried the memories of Vona and companions in the forms of songs and stories wherever she goes.
On her everlasting journey, the name Vona Sion lives on, for No Tyrant Rules Forever.
