The Divine Citadel, a truly magnificent superstructure of inhuman proportions, a side project of sorts that had taking under three decades to construct. Situated at the very center of the polar regions of Agonis, the Divine Citadel serves as the central seat of power in all of the Collective, where the Queen herself and many of her fellow cohorts reside in.  

The Divine Citadel also serves another darker purpose, being housed within it's massive complex are hundreds of labs, foundries, and other assorted facilities necessary for the master plan of the Seven Lords. It is here that every sort of war machine, mundane technology, or a piece of a greater whole are tested and put through trails, the Proving Grounds as they are called.

And it is here, deep within the superstructure, another project is in the works, however, this particular project is some of great significance to the Seven Lords, and is a but mere stepping stone to something greater that is to come.

Three figures, uniquely designed androids, stroll down hauntingly silent and darkened corridors, barely lit up by what little lights there are. The three were members of the Seven Lords that reign over the Collective, they being, Magnus, Amion and Garui. Magnus was the more cold and calculating of them all, the more "sane" one of the bunch if that could be said. Amion was the more...unstable of the seven, his self-belief in his own divinity is taking an extreme, even by their standards, and it all adds to his bloodlust. Garui was a artificial mind of twisted curiosity, science being his passion, such passions however...lead to rather disturbing results on his part, seeing organic beings as his playthings and potential test subjects for his endless experiments.  

Garui was leading the two to one of his many labs, feeling the urge to share his latest project with his cohorts. A large door could be seen at the end of the hall, a bright light illuminating on the other side of the door. 

"I guarantee you. "Garui spoke with a hint of excitement in his tone. "My little side project has bared...some truly worthy fruits."

"You're never one to be so giddy over a hobby." Magnus said in his usually relaxed tone.

"This better not disappoint..." Amion said, impatient and brash in his tone.

"You'll see." Garui replied. 

The three pass through the sliding doors as they entered the laboratory, flanking them on both sides were incubation tubs, various creatures in their fetal stages floating in the liquid solutions in silence.  "Our recent defeats have been...troubling." Garui started. "Our enemies are slowly adapting, and in my short time, I have come to various solutions. We must adapt, our servants the homunculi, despite their own strengths, are imperfect, and are just fallible as our enemies." Garui continues as they approaching a particularly interesting set of tub. "Our first step in gaining the upper hand requires a change."

The three then halt as they stand before several, fully augmented humans, citizens of the Ascended Caste, those that surrendered themselves to the Divinity of the Seven. However, these Ascend of which were..different then the rest, they were augmented with newer technologies, and had a more militarized look to them. This upgrade impressed both Magnus and Amion. "Our armies require an upgrade, my friends and the resources for that had been in front of us this whole time."
