"Your independence is but the illusion of freedom, you cling to it to give your life meaning and it makes you blind to the truth." Mathew's monitors instantly show the odd energy signatures focused on his locations. They seemed to be similar to his Warp Matrix, and yet instead of bending space as he did, it rather chose to create a spacial tunnel using an energy claculation effect that scaled to the bending of face due to gravitic concentration, allowing him to forge it into a shortened path. However, even as Mathew was thinking of the details of just how this effect worked and admiring just how different the science behind this different technology was, he was interrupted by the Angel from before, who loudly shouted his name. "I let you people be, because you do not annoy me."The sleek machines didn't seem to move. There was no , no , no blur. They didn't rush those that threatened Mathews safety, jump into action. No, such concepts were meaningless for these specially designed extermination machines. Instead, they were simply next to Eclipse instantly, as if they were free to ignore the constraints of space in their mindless servitude, and their weapons were already at the necks of both combatants. While not powerful enough to rend the soul of an angel, these blades would most certainly tear through flesh and bone. A constant humming could be heard, a blue light encasing the blades, and it took a little time to realize that this was caused by the blades slicing open the very air molecules that touched them. It was quite literally sharp enough to slice through air itself."I recommend you recall your troops immediately. While I currently have no means of preventing you from entering my ship, you have no chance of defeating me within the confines of this ship. I can assure you that if you wish to do battle, I shall show no restraint in burning your empire to the ground, that you may serve as an example." Mathew already moved his fingers over the unmarked control pads, only his supreme memory allowing him to realize just how they worked, without any visual indication. The Portal Matrix activated itself, the quantum particles spinning with enough force to bend space itself, creating a loop in the space-time continuum that allowed him to teleport his troops at short range. Below him was a Clone World, and he was fully prepared to conquer it using force if it became necessary.

The clone emperor moves to press the button, but stops.
"If you think you can destroy my empire, I will show you the error of your ways. We refuse to surrender, but we won't fire the first shot. And if you murder a single one of my citizens, I will bring hell down apon you." The emperor says, before shutting off the call.
