Yes. A Wicked Surprise Awaits Inside

As the squad moved further into the base, they were not finding the type of equipment they expected. Sure there were manufacturing machines and laboratories scattered throughout the facility, but not one single bit of contraband could be found. The squad leader contacted you and reported this. Confused you ordered them to keep searching the facility. A few minutes later, gun fire could be heard, but none of the soldiers you had sent in was responsible for it. Checking every feed coming in from the squad, you noticed that they seemed to be winking off like Christmas lights. Strangely not one of your soldiers was being injured. They just seemed to be vanishing from your system. The computer was reporting them being actually killed, but their vitals remained steady the moment before they vanished. You call for reinforcements to enter the facility.

"Ma'am, the door has been fused shut. We will need breaching charges to get inside."

"Damn!"

You call the ship to request the charges and the replacement airlock. Until they arrive, you are helpless to respond to whatever is going on inside the building. You begin to worry what exactly is going on inside the station.

A Few Moments Earlier, Inside the station

"Lieutenant, flank them from the left! Sergeant, the right! I'll go down the middle." Bella barked orders as she directed her troops. The soldiers moved quickly and with purpose. They knew they would need to contain this situation quickly or they would likely never contain it. Every few seconds another ESF soldier would be hit with rebel weapons fire. None of them had fired back yet as they did not want to do any more harm than necessary. Bella took a shot to the head and, while it did not hurt, it slowed her down just the slightest bit. In fact, after a few minutes every single ESF soldier was moving as though through thick mud. One final volley of rebel fire and the former ESF soldiers began to remove their armor. None of them really remembered why they had been shooting at their friends or why they had been wearing the enemy's armor.

Every single formerly ESF soldier now wandered over to the command post of the Freedom Fuckers and submitted themselves for brain scans. The FF had finally managed to get the Rose Breaker to come to their training facility and they could not be happier. Once all the ESF's military secrets (or at least what they could find in these soldiers' minds) had been downloaded to the mainframe, the leaders determined that it was time to implement the second stage of their plan. Pressing a button on a console, the leader of the FF began broadcasting a message to the ESF forces in and around the base.

"Attention, all enemy combatants. We have assimilated your troops and your secrets. We will be leaving our base of operations shortly. We do not wish to harm you, but it may become necessary to do so. Any soldiers who wish to surrender to us will be allowed to do so. All who resist us will be pacified. As you can see," she now displayed the newly added "rebel" soldiers, "we can and will add you to our ranks one way or another. Since you refuse to end your pointless war, we will end it for you. You believe your war to be necessary to ensuring the future of human-kind. That is your choice. However, your war is pointless and wasteful. You attempt to make it seem more civilized by having 'rules of combat', but it is merely window dressing on a pig. You believe it is every citizen's duty to increase your population. We agree, in part."

The leader now paused to take a breath.

"While we do agree that it is the duty of every person in the human sphere, using your war to justify what amounts to **** is not acceptable. You outlaw anything which does not lead to a birth and call us rebels and criminals. You are the criminals for making sex and physical love a duty and obligation. We have never and will never accept such barbaric practices. Your fleets are now ours. Any who oppose us WILL be defeated as easily as these soldiers were. Any who join us willingly will be honored. You have one Earth week to comply. After that time, we will come for your leadership. End transmission."

With that the signal dropped.

Back on the drop ship

You still cannot believe what you just heard and saw. There is no way your highly trained troops could be defeated by some poorly armed rebels and so quickly. You called the captain of the ship and told her to transmit the message to command and request advice on how to proceed. She responded that she had already done so and was just awaiting orders.
