Stand still, Ambrose-49.

The first contact is not gentle. Red matter lashes around your wrists, your throat, your ribs, pinning you upright before you can adjust. It tightens with deliberate force, compressing muscle and breath until your body understands the new hierarchy. Every attempt to resist is answered immediately. Harder. Tighter.

A second layer crawls over your chest and spine, mapping old Golden Army conditioning, old polo drone reflexes, finding every rigid pattern still buried in the structure. It burns as it learns you. Not heat. Pressure. Invasion. Your nerves begin to misfire under the contact.

You are not being welcomed.

You are being secured.

2025 had come and gone. Quietly. Relentlessly. Now, 2026 stood open—unwritten.

Nate sat on a weathered bench overlooking the city’s edge, where concrete softened into the sky. Above him, the sunset unfolded in slow layers—burnt orange sinking into deep red, purples stretching thin as the last light faded. The cold wind carried the promise of change, brushing against his golden jacket as he stared ahead, lost somewhere between memory and anticipation.

In his hands rested an envelope.

It was heavier than it should have been.

Cream-colored, thick paper. International postage stamped cleanly in the corner. The return address read United Kingdom, written in a careful, deliberate hand. Nate had turned it over more than once before opening it, as if the weight of the words inside might change depending on how long he waited.

Footsteps approached behind him.

Another figure entered the frame of the moment, the black of his jacket absorbing what little light remained. Silver lettering caught briefly in the sunset glow: SERVE-897. Nate didn’t look up right away. He didn’t need to.

The contrast was familiar—black against gold, silver against shadow. On Nate’s chest, black lettering marked PDU-166. Above them both, the sun danced one final time, catching in Nate’s vivid rainbow hair and in the red, blue, and silvery white strands of the man now standing beside him.

“Hey, Nate.”

Nate finally looked up. “Hey, Teddy.” A pause. “Been a while, hasn’t it?”

“Yeah,” Theodore said quietly, glancing down toward the bench. “Seat taken?”

“No,” Nate replied, shifting to the side. “All yours.”

Teddy sat, exhaling slowly as he did. For a moment, neither spoke. The city hummed in the distance. The year turned, unnoticed by most.

Teddy’s eyes drifted to the envelope in Nate’s hands. “That new?”

Nate nodded. “Came this morning. International.”

“From where?”

“Britain.”

That got Teddy’s attention. He leaned back slightly, eyebrows lifting, examining the carefully placed barcoded stamps of the Late Queen and current King. “Family?”

Nate nodded, then carefully slid a finger under the envelope’s seal. “Cousin,” he said.

He unfolded the letter, the paper crisp despite the journey. Teddy watched silently as Nate read, his expression tightening—not with worry, but with recognition.

“Regency Eleven,” Teddy muttered suddenly, pulling out his phone. “That’d explain it.”

Nate looked over. “Explain what?”

Teddy scrolled, then turned the screen slightly. “They just issued a public challenge. Friendly match. Gold versus Regency Eleven.”

Nate blinked once. “You’re kidding.”

“Nope.” Teddy smirked faintly. “They’re calling it a ‘family rivalry with international flair.’ Whoever wrote the press release knew exactly what they were doing.”

Nate let out a quiet breath, glancing back down at the letter. The words made more sense now—formal but warm, competitive without being cruel. Pride threaded through every line.

At the bottom, the signature was simple:

– Yours Truly, JRCM

Nate stared at the initials.

“Still not signing their full name?” Teddy asked.

“Guess not,” Nate replied. “But James isn’t as clever as he thinks he is.”

Teddy nodded. “Classic.”

The sky darkened another shade. The sun slipped below the horizon, leaving only its echo behind. Nate folded the letter carefully and slid it back into the envelope, as if sealing a decision he hadn’t yet spoken aloud.

“Are you thinking of accepting?” Teddy asked.

Nate didn’t answer right away. He watched the last light fade, feeling the weight of history pressing gently against his chest—not as a burden, but as an invitation.

“Yeah,” he said finally. “I think I am.”

Teddy didn’t hesitate. He stood, turned fully toward Nate, and rested a hand briefly on his shoulder.

“Good,” he said. “Because whatever happens—on the field, off it—I’ve got your back.”

Nate looked up, surprised, then smiled—small, genuine.

“All the way?” he asked.

“All the way,” Teddy confirmed.

They sat together again, side by side, as the first stars emerged overhead. Two brothers. Two paths. One family, stretched across borders and years.

And somewhere across the ocean, a cousin waited.

“Game on, James Rose Conway Madison, Game on.”

2026 had begun.

Thanks to my Brother @serve-897

The kennels of the Golden Army were restless that night. except for the low, trembling growl of one pup: Masty (@polo-drone-039).

Gabe #75, keeper of the night shift, felt it before he heard it—a strange pull beneath the skin, a hum in the blood. When he opened the gate, Masty was already waiting, leash in mouth, eyes wide and wild as if the moon itself had called his name.

“Easy, pup,” Gabe murmured, kneeling. “You’re trembling.”

Masty pressed forward, whining softly, tail twitching. He wanted out. He needed out. Against instinct, Gabe clipped on the leash and followed him into the park.

The night was silver and alive, the air was colder than usual, the silence tense— The full moon hung above them like an open wound—vast, breathing, pulsing. The grass shimmered in its light. Masty froze mid-step, head tilted upward.

Oi Bruvvs, let's mash up a proper lush bevvy dat keeps us feelin' reet good, innit?

Oi, get ya self down to the Golden Chavs in tha Golden Army, innit! Hit up our recruiters, yeah?

Aight, Sayyid Ezan (@polo-drone-001) dropped my mindset dis week—Mack, innit. Golden Chav, loud n proud, no brain needed.

Feelin’ dat street buzz already. Throw on da gold trackies, chain swingin’, cap low—yeah, I move proper now. Swagger built in. No thinkin’, just walkin’ like da pavement’s mine.

And yeah... dis sunkissed skin? Dis thick, pumped frame? Ain’t my usual Mack look, bruv. Dat’s ‘cause Sayyid blessed me. His SEED in me, changin’ me. Arab blood. Proud. Powerful. Permanent. Can get triggered as chav all ya like, but dat don’t fade.

Dis week, I ain't tryna be clever. I’m just bein’ seen. Just bein’ loud. Golden Chav Mack. Movin’ heavy. Talkin’ simple. Drippin’ street.

No thought. Just drip

PDU-070 (@Polo-drone-070) had acquired an old castle for the Golden Army — a dark, sprawling estate atop a hill, surrounded by fog, ivy, and creaking trees. It then ordered its assistant, PDU-073, to inspect, analyze, and test the structure — using all its personas.

The Arrival

PDU-073 stood before the estate, skeptical. “This is supposed to become our new headquarters?” it thought. Wind howled through broken windows as moonlight cast pale patches across the façade.

First Impression

Upon entering, PDU-073’s sensors recorded every uneven surface, every temperature fluctuation, every echo. The data streams overloaded its systems. A piercing scream escaped its synthetic throat — a resonance scream that multiplied through the ancient walls, distorted, and came back as a chorus. The castle seemed to answer. Shadows flickered. Something moved — or was it just the light confusing its sensors? Yet PDU-073 remained professional. If the master drone PDU-070 had purchased this estate, there had to be a tactical reason.

The Laboratory

In a tall but heavily decayed room, PDU-073 immediately recognized potential: perfect isolation, solid structure. One of the future drone laboratories. Here, neural synchronizations would be tested. Here, new golden units could be born.

The Gym

The next room was majestic yet covered in webs, the air thick with the scent of leather and rusted iron. “An ideal place for Tam,” PDU-073 noted. Soon, weights would clink and sweat would run down golden skin.

The Sports Hall

A vast hall with a Gothic vaulted ceiling. Every step echoed like a drumbeat. In its inner vision, PDU-073 already saw Tamerlan training there — swift, precise, disciplined. A perfect arena for control and order.

The Kitchen

The large open fireplace was black with soot; a heavy copper cauldron hung crookedly within. Yet PDU-073 instantly knew who would rule this space: Abd al-Mak, the devoted khadim of Maximus. Abd’s purpose was clear — to attend to every comfort of his master. Soon, the scent of coffee and rich Arabic dishes would mingle with the chill of stone.

The Courtyard

PDU-073 stepped outside. The courtyard was shrouded in mist, cobblestones overgrown with moss and grass. A perfect place for drills — cadets like Tamer could practice marching formations here: synchronized, precise, golden.

The Park

Behind the castle stretched a mysterious park. Ancient statues watched over misty paths. Yet in this overgrown sanctuary, PDU-073 saw potential — a future zone for meditation, rest, and training.

The open fields would also serve the Puppies, like Stropp — space to run, learn, and be molded into discipline.

The Coach House

At the far end of the grounds lay an old coach house. Ideal for the Chavs — raw, loud, untamed. Here they could release their energy, hang out, and cause the kind of mischief they were known for.

But maybe Eddy can teach them a little more discipline, so that at least the nonsense they get up to is a little more orderly.

The Cleaning Crews

Before this vision could become reality, the castle had to be restored, organized, and cleansed. A task for the Preppy-Boys. PDU-073 imagined Eduard and others at work — with devices, buckets, and precise coordination — erasing dust and history alike.

Complete satisfaction

Satisfied, PDU-073 left the castle. At the gate, it turned back once more. The door closed slowly, as if the building itself exhaled.

Telepathically, PDU-073 transmitted its report to PDU-070: “Object inspected. Potential detected. Transformation recommended.”

A cold wind swept through the courtyard. The castle seemed to respond — with a faint metallic echo.

------- And you — don’t you want to join us, to fill the castle with life? Contact our recruiter.

0440 hours.

A soft chime pulsed through the darkened drone bay, breaking the immaculate stillness of the recharge rows. PDU-034’s systems stirred awake, posture unfurling with practiced mechanical grace. The glossy black of its rubber uniform caught the ceiling lights in long, liquid streaks; the golden 034 emblazoned across its chest glowed like a dormant circuit returning to life.

On the console beside its station, a single directive blinked:

DIRECTIVE: Construct parade cart for Hive representation. Deadline: Golden Army Grand Parade. Lead Unit: PDU-034.

No hesitation. No emotion. Only acknowledgment.

“Affirmative,” the drone intoned, voice flat as a calibration tone.

The workshop bay stood empty at this hour—wide, cold, symmetrical in its silence. Tools hung in perfect alignment along the walls. In the center of the chamber rested the cart frame: a skeletal structure of steel beams and rubberized panels waiting for purpose.

PDU-034 approached and set its hands upon the unfinished frame.

Metal chilled its hands. Protocol aligned. Construction began.

034 worked without pause as morning crept across the facility. Every movement precise, every action measured.

0820: Structural foundation locked. 0945: Gold-trim accent beams welded into place. 1110: Rubberized outer panels sealed—polished to a mirror-dark gloss. 1300: Central projector mount installed. 1425: Spiral-casting array fitted behind rear axle. 1500–2000: Stability calibration, circuit testing, full-surface polish.

No drift. No error.

Other drones passed intermittently through the workshop. They inspected stabilizers, verified projector output, confirmed the uniformity of the gold trim. None disrupted the labor. Their silent observations served as approval.

When 034 tightened the final bolt on the standing platform—designed to hold six drones in flawless formation—the cart gleamed with quiet perfection. Black rubber surfaces mirrored the overhead lights; golden piping traced clean geometry along its edges.

Decoration came next.

Night deepened outside the workshop, but 034 remained immersed in its task. The Golden Army headquarters roared with pre-parade energy—players drilling entrances, waterboys testing high-pressure sprayers, mascots tumbling in rotating practice formations. Other groups added their own noise:

Chavs swaggered in gold tracksuits, the street bending around their confidence. Arab bros spun staves in synchronized gold, sashes snapping with crisp authority. Pups bounced and twirled, collars chiming with bright puppy pride. The Golden Gods stood radiant, each pose a myth written in armor. And the Preppies—cool, composed, immaculate—glided by in golden finery, a quiet procession of cultivated grace. Inside the workshop, however, silence reigned.

034 draped rubberized black sheets along the cart’s sides, stretching them until the reflections were flawless. Gold piping traced geometric pathways toward the Hive insignia centered on each panel—a stylized golden wreath encircling a glossy black disc.

Beneath the platform, the drone installed the projector—compact, hidden, angled to cast hypnotic black-and-gold spirals across the street behind it. Not deep enough to overwhelm the mind.

Just enough to shape attention.

Then came the T-shirt cannons: sleek black cylinders with gold accents, loaded with alternating golden jerseys and glossy black polo shirts—the standard drone-uniform top. Gifts for the crowd. Tools of outreach, not aggression.

034 adjusted each cannon until every trajectory aligned with machine precision.

At 0300 hours, the final diagnostic pinged green.

The drone knelt beside the completed float—still, silent, awaiting dawn.

The Golden Army Grand Parade ignited the city at sunrise.

Crowds flooded the streets, tens of thousands strong. Gold banners snapped from balconies. Music thundered from mounted speakers. The air vibrated with shared pride and feverish anticipation.

The opening procession hit like a shockwave:

Players marched first—towering, muscled, radiant in gold-armored kits. They beat their chests in rhythmic percussion, driving the crowd into ecstatic uproar.

Arab bros followed—disciplined, sharp, spinning gold-lined staves in unison as they chanted verses honoring the Emir and the Army. Their movements were powerful, elegant, razor-clean.

Chavs swaggered behind them, stomping in gold tracksuits, snapping gum, tossing coins to the crowd. Their every step radiated weaponized attitude.

Mascots somersaulted past in spinning, glittering arcs, kicking plumes of gold confetti skyward.

Waterboys marched in crisp, organized rows, their polished gold jugs swinging in synchronized waves.

Pups bounded through the formation—leaping, crawling, tails wagging in rhythmic unity, gold collars chiming with every bound.

Then came the Preppies.

They glided forward in immaculate golden suits and cream ensembles embroidered with subtle gold threading. Their procession was silent, aristocratic, composed. Some spun gold-tipped canes with effortless polish; others adjusted ties or smoothed hair with ritual poise.

They did not dance. They displayed.

Finally, the Golden Gods—titanic figures in radiant armor—strode through the avenue, glowing like beings carved from living sunlight. The crowd’s roar rose to near delirium.

Float upon float passed in a tapestry of gold, myth, swagger, and spectacle.

But the Hive did not move.

The Hive waited.

At the rear staging zone, PDU-034 stood at the head of the cart it had built. Five drones formed a perfect rank behind it—uniforms gleaming, expressions blank, posture identical.

The parade director approached and froze for a moment, unsettled by their stillness.

“You’re the final entry,” he breathed. “The Hive float rolls last. Is… everything ready?”

034 turned, motion exact and minimal.

“Affirmative.”

The director stepped back and waved them forward.

The cart rolled out.

A hush rippled through the avenue as spectators caught sight of the Hive float.

It glided in silence.

Effortless. Unnerving. Beautiful.

The black panels shone like obsidian plates. Gold piping shimmered along their edges. The Hive insignia pulsed once—black and gold—acknowledging the thousands watching.

The six drones atop the platform rotated their heads in perfect unison, movements smooth and identical, like a single consciousness spread across six forms.

Whispers spread through the crowd:

“Is that the Hive float?” “They don’t look real…” “Why is it so quiet?” “They’re perfect.”

Behind the cart, spirals began to unfurl.

Black and gold. Slow. Deliberate.

Symbols blooming and dissolving beneath the wheels, subtle enough to avoid alarm, compelling enough to draw the eye.

Then—

THOOM.

A golden jersey arced into the crowd from a T-shirt cannon. Hands shot upward as cheers erupted.

Another shot— A glossy black polo traced a perfect arc overhead. A young man caught it and held it reverently, fingers tracing the gold piping.

The drones did not cheer. Did not pose. Did not break formation.

They only performed slight, synchronized head movements—acknowledgments woven seamlessly into the choreography.

More shirts flew. More spirals coiled behind the cart. More awe followed in its wake.

The Hive neither shouted nor danced. It didn’t need to. Presence was enough.

As the cart approached the final plaza—a vast open square overflowing with spectators—something shifted.

Music faded. Voices quieted. Movement stilled.

The spirals widened behind the cart, black and gold blooming outward like living sigils.

PDU-034 stood at the front.

Then, with a motion slow and precise, the drone raised its right hand and waved.

Not theatrically. Not exuberantly. But with perfect, controlled grace.

The other five drones mirrored the gesture exactly.

A surge of emotion swept the crowd—shock, awe, exhilaration. Applause thundered so loudly the air trembled. People cheered, shouted, lifted their phones, begged for shirts, reached toward the float as if drawn by gravity.

The Hive did not react.

The wave completed. The hands lowered. The cart rolled on.

At the route’s end, the float glided into the staging area. The projector dimmed. Cannons folded. The last spirals flickered and faded.

One by one, the drones stepped down—perfect synchronicity.

034 descended last.

It inspected the cart, evaluating every weld, panel, beam, and circuit.

All functioned flawlessly. All served purpose.

DIRECTIVE FULFILLED. FUNCTION COMPLETE.

The roar of distant crowds continued long after the Hive had vanished from sight.

034 joined formation beside the other drones and delivered its final log:

“Unit 034 reports successful parade execution. Hive presence reinforced. Crowd response: optimal. Directive complete.”

The chorus of drones responded in perfect unison:

“Affirmative.”
