The Broadcast



The broadcast is one of a major exeptions in alien terms. It appears to only exist upon a technological and audio level, not physical or spectral. Very little is known about the broadcast, but it is belived to be an entity due to the way it is followed. It is capable of accelerating technological growth, as it appeared roughly in "World War One" Depending on who hears it, it can be bad or good ideas, abeit some who are not able to grasp it's capabilities die by brain explosion.

Two examples of this are:

Frank Woodruff - Invented the "Mobile Trench", which aided disabled war vetrans.

Vladimir Farnsworth - Invented the Telivision which allowed people to view the world from the safety of their beds, later bastardized in it's purpose into the Monovisions due to him going insane by, ironically, his own invention.

The Monovisions
While acctually human-created constructs, they're quite unearthly even for their creator being human. There are several types of monovision, derrogatorily reffered to a "Tubes" They're as much mechanical as they are creature:

Base:
Resistors - Basic grunts

Blitzers - Like resistors, but they're explosive and preffer to attack Trenches.

Jacobs - A rather weak version of the resistor, but allows invulnerability to all around it

Burst Transmitter - A combination of "Arty" and Resistors. Tends to attack emplacements.

Tommy - Like resistors, but have a tail capable of firing plasma bolts.

Knob - Spawned in mass numbers and from "Bertha", Attacks emplacements. Look like small spheres with spikes on them.

Breaker - Bigger, more resistant resistors with a shell

Aeirial - Flying verson of a tommy. Weaker, Smaller and shoots in a burst of three.

Solenoids - Like Aeirials, exept they go after trenches

Cathodes - Tiny versions of blitzers, Spawned in swarms like knobs.

Advanced:
Big Willie - Basic battering ram unit, Most other advanced monovisions use this frame as a baseline

Bertha - Spawns Knobs, Uses Willie Frame

Volt Dropper - A pseudo-bomber. Only one not to use the willy frame.

Arty - Long range artillery platform, Willie frame.

Amplifier - Destroys turrets at close range with a torso-mounted device. Uses the willie frame rotated upwards and is Tripedial.

Overseers:
Northern Pylon

Sphinx Worm
