The drones, of course, had been deployed on the basis of the assumed tech level of the planet, calculated based on the amount of electronic and radio signatures in the air, which showed that this planet was nothing if not primitive. In fact, an overall scan showed barely any electronic use on a planetary scale. Most likely the inhabitants of this world would believe him to be one of their deities, or a spirit of some description, and flock to his rule. However, this idea was suddenly shattered when Odin recieved reports from the drones it had sent out. Not only had advanced technology been advanced, but advanced weaponry was being used to combat them. Whomever it was either knew of Matt, or felt threatened, and they quite obviously didn't belong on this world. Perhaps they were not the first to attempt to conquer the world.

The God Emperor himself raised an eyebrow as Odin told him of this information. A few planets previously had attempted to resist the conquering, realizing that he was making an offensive maneauver and vainly clinging on to their corruption, had resisted him. However, a single volley from Odin's weaponry systems had wiped out most of their military forces, as well as destroying many of their governments. The remaining ones had been quick to surrender. However, this was a far different situation. Not only was the tech level far more advanced than the previous planets, still using combustion weaponry, but it didn't match the planetary average.

Sighing, Matt quickly considered his options. He could, of course, concentrate his firepower on this unknown group, wiping them out. However, he then ran the risk of a larger group that they were a part of waging war on him, which could potentially be quite problematic with Yggdrasil currently so damaged. Furthermore, he had no accurate image of this group from long-range scans, and they could turn out to be a threat. He could also, of course, flee, but that was a fool's path. He would engage them diplomatically instead of forcefully. Almost any group could be coerced into working with, or under him, if he could either make it advantageous for them to do so or show them just how foolish it would be to turn against him. His empire, after all, would one day cover all worlds with sentient life.

The worker drones had not been built for offensive maneuvers, instead expecting simply to prepare the land for the creation of the factories that would make this planet a useful part of the Interdimensional Rule. Based on the original scan performed by Odin, no resistance had been expected, and as such no combat units had been sent down before conversion had started. The Drone Pillar that had landed near the Ark had deployed it's drones as normal, however, when the drones that approached the massive grounded ship were shot at by the heavy cannons, the small targets quickly scattered, retreating from the heavy weapon's fire. Although a few were indeed hit, they proved remarkably resistant, formed from Nano-enhanced Tubing Steel, a special material with molecular tubes that run throughout it's entire composition. This not only made it more than 800x more durable than steel, but made it 20x lighter, enhanced to use the most stable shape, the circle, to it's greatest advantage. Unless they were hit repeatedly, no serious damage was sustained.

Soon, shooting through the sky far faster than any meteorite could ever go, came a glowing object, approaching far faster than one would think. In less than 3 minutes it had passed through the entire atmosphere, crashing to the ground in a massive explosion before the Ark. When the dust settled, Teletraan would detect a shielded robotic creature, the size of a human, one of the Elite Combat Drones that had once made up Yggdrasil's full fighting force. It looked up, completely white in color, a streamlined humanoid appearance with no visible sensors or face. On each arm, it had a slit, from which it's blades would extend. It spoke up, it's voice prerecorded as an Ambassador function. "I come in peace. Any weapons fire will be seen as a form of hostility."

The Nemesis was quite a lot closer to a pillar. In fact, the pillar had nearly hit the massive Decepticon ship. As such, the drones had no way of retreating. Instead, when the Decepticons attacked the drones, several drones rushed decepticons at full speed, exploding on impact. The moment their overt shields were down, the monomolecular blades sliced through the sttel like it was butter, reducing the fighters to piles of scrap. The problem with this tactic, of course, was that it required a drone to be sacrificed to take down the shields of each individual Decepticon, but there were 3.000 drones in that Drone Pillar, and until the decepticons had fled within the shields of the Nemesis, it had been a rather onesided battle.
