[Combat Monitor Switched to Tactical Unit Thirty-Five of Fifty]



The ‘H.M.S Valiant’, flagship to 359th fleet, fell to Machine Menace during the invasion and subjugation of the Alliance world, Siren Prime a gas giant. It was also the battle where the new model of Machine commando/’captain’ droid known as the BX-Tactical Droid to the machines and the ‘Executioner’ by the Alliance due to their infamous habit of executing wounded soldiers with their Plasma blades like a Medieval executioner. Of the Twenty Executioner droids reported during the orbital battle, less than half were confirmed to be destroyed.
My contest entry! Now, who was expecting this to be from the Machine point of view? No one? Thought so. The reason I did it in this style is because the mind of a mindless war machine is relatively different from a normal organic mind.

It won't note details in the environment or its enemies unless tactically important. It won't really say anything and is horribly single minded in its goal to achieve an objective.

So I tried to right it from that angle. Whether I was successful or not, I'm not sure.

Oh, and for those of you wondering, species #00345 are Irkens.

And yeah, I know it repetitive.

This was incredibly interesting. I like this format for the droids a lot. It was really something different to read.
