Like a slow killing chemical the VI was slowly gaining power as more and more people, desperate to get back at the government for letting the economy fail, flocked to their cloud fortress. The un-expecting United States army, led by Major General John Reddings, was ill-prepared for the massive attack on Alabama. The Alabama citizens didn't even know that they were being attacked, for the VI samurais silently crept past the state borders. The un-motivated Alabama State Patrol simply gave up and ran out of the state with their families. The VI used heat sensors to detect any human presence in any area they occupied. If there is human presence they are given 10 minutes to leave, if this warning is not heeded, parts of human bodies will be all over the floor.

John Redding was not a stupid man, just a much stressed out man. Too many of his soldiers were deserting to join the VI. He was under extreme pressure to take action, however the deserters had a well planned network of supporters throughout the military installations and scores of safe houses, all supplied by the VI. The attack on Alabama put tremendous pressure on John to stop the advance. How could he stop something he can't see? He was only human. The only help he got from the government was the establishment of the new 30 year draft.

"Number 38906, please come up to the testing booth" Will hear as he let loose a string of curses and walked up to the testing booth. Will was never much of a religious person, but he was going to need all the he could get, for the stories he heard of the war from veterans were not good ones. "Sir please put your arm in the metal chamber" said Doctor Chamberlain, tired of all the insubordination of the draft picks." Doctor, do you believe in god?" asked Will. "I'm not sure what that has to do with anything but, yes". "Then let me leave!" howled Will. Having no tolerance for people with attitude problems, Doctor Chamberlain had the security guards forcefully push Will's arm into the chamber. "As positive results scrolled onto the screen, Will was handed a military identification card and a uniform, not a good thing.

While some of the lower level VI members were new and from the U.S, the samurais are genetically engineered to fight for Jai, their supreme leader. As the fighting in Alabama got more and more gruesome, some samurais were having thoughts of revolt against the VI, a flaw in their genetic code. Any samurai discovered to have these thoughts was decoded and killed instantly.
