The a I Wore an Abnormally Tall Black Form

The a i wore an abnormally tall black form, its head ringed with observation lenses. Multi limbs fell from its curved shoulders like a fringed cape. It reminded her of a metallic terran squid.

I am here to present terms. No need to be antagonistic. We wish there to be no misunderstanding. We stand, ready to destroy your settlements should that become necessary.
