Nobody would have believed in the closing days of the Dominion War that the world was being watched keenly by intelligence greater than man's yet as mortal as his own; that the world was not unique in its perverse delight in war and violence. With the thundering advance of Gassel's seemingly unstoppable army a very real reality, it was beyond the weary world's imagination to perceive the scheming forces that gazed upon the constant turmoil that stole from the land countless lives. It was not until the final days before the landings of the aliens that humans even began to consider that sinister creatures might be staring at them from orbit, plotting the haired apes' downfall.

"Sire, I think you're going to want to see this."

Archimedes Malfisto frowned at his video display unit. Wearing only his dressing gown in anticipation of indulging in his one true pleasure, he was specifically not taking any calls. Yet, somehow, for some reason, a video call had overridden his privacy settings and was now displaying satellite telemetry of what looked like an impending meteor shower. Only...

Now Archimedes ruffled his brow as he frowned at the video unit.

"What exactly am I looking at? And who am I talking with?" He growed into his intercom.

"This is Private Sehedovna, Dominion Space Agency. You're looking at what we're looking at. The higher ups at Zapht are stonewalling us, they think some of the freeworlders are faking us... so I tried hacking the data to you."

"Listen to me very carefully Private, I want confirmation on this. Report to me using the data I am transmitting to you. I'll make sure you're taken seriously. If this isn't a hoax you can expect a promotion, but if your 'higher-ups' are correct then your head will grace my mantelpiece. Now clear this channel."

"Yes sire. Thank you sire."

The viewing screen went dark, leaving Archimedes seemingly alone in his office.

"Lucius, enact 'Contingency Plan: Wells'." Archimedes whispered softly into the darkness before marching out of the room.

The barely audible static from the supposedly deactivated video phone almost sounded like "It has already been initiated."
