In a matter of seconds, the former 'paradise of Cyprex' massive luxury mall had transformed into a hellscape. Emergence drones and biological constructs had suddenly appeared and started spreading chaos as they targeted the civilians with ruthless efficiency. The lucky ones were outright executed seemingly at random, while those less fortunate were dragged off by so called 'collectors' who moved the unwilling participants to an Emergence bio converter where they were crudely fused to Emergence cybernetics, becoming one with it. This is the kind of enemy the Emergence was, there was no reasoning with it, no begging for mercy, no use in screaming for help or empathy, all the Emergence cared about was spreading itself throughout the galaxy.
"Terra! Neutralize that fucking collector!"
