In the middle of a vast, dry desert, a gigantic metallic tower stood tall.
It was a completely imposing structure, with thick, cable like materials running from its base, burrowing into the ground like roots feeding on the earth's energy.
High above this imposing structure, a massive cannon like nozzle pointed far into the distance.
Inside a control room just a few meters away from the massive nozzle, men and women dressed in white lab coats moved around, tapping rapidly on the screens of their handheld devices.
Their eyes darted between the data and the giant weapon, each of them entering codes and adjusting parameters carefully.
Behind the scientists stood a group of elders, clad in elaborately decorated robes.
Their faces were stern and firm as they calmly watched the scientists.
They had humanoid appearances, but their skin seemed to shimmer with a bright glow, as though energy flowed just beneath the surface. Their eyes all had a light blue glow.
