Usurpation

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Stevland, the dominant sentient lifeform of Pax, has clandestinely sent some of its progeny to Earth. To explore, to spread, to report back.

Since their germination, Earth has become a powder keg. Human rebellion, robot uprisings, and global pandemics have created chaos, distrust, and death.

As more and more conflicts break out across Earth, Stevland's children work in the background in an attempt to control human behaviour and perhaps bring peace to the planet. Stevland took control of Pax. Earth shouldn't be too difficult.
