Praetoria Invading Primal Earth? Never!

It started with me running into an exceedingly familiar robotic creation in the Rikti War Zone - at first glance it appeared to be Tin Mage, the famed hero of the first Rikti War. Instead, it turned out to be a recreation - Tin Mage Mark Two. After he graciously allowed me to spend a few minutes looking over his circuitry (I ignored the thaumatalogical interfaces as superior tech should not be used on inferior abilities) he informed me that there is a pressing concern of invasion from the Praetorian dimension.

After teaming me with a Strikeforce comprised of three of the Rogue Isles' finest Incarnates (Gobstopper [Corruptor], Vizu [Stalker] and Lost Fighter [Brute]), three Incarnate Scrappers from Paragon (Nekomata Shaya, Nosh Jr and Nosher) plus an Incarnate Controller called Chlorophyllia we set out to stop the Praetorian invasion!

From Crimson Cove in the Nerva Archipelago, back to the Rikti War Zone to defend an Arachnos conference, until finally we end up on Peregrine Island at Portal Corp where I finally saw the pinnacle of Praetorian Robotics - the WarWorks Goliath. If only there had been time to study one of these behemoths - I have never seen such fine robotics craftmanship in our dimension outside of my own lab!

Alas, invading Primal Earth is not to be tolerated so instead of an exchange of minds with this "Neuron" I and my team instead were forced to beat him down (through an army of robotic clones he kept teleporting in!)

At the end of the day, we delivered a message - the rule of Primal Earth is for Lord Recluse, and no other extra-dimensional upstart. Not sure the others of the Strikeforce would be likewise so inclined to deliver such a message, but still!
