Autonomy's Invading Army

The force Autonomy intends to send through to the planet — and which Marasi, leaning over the perpendicularity pool in the Wayfarer mansion, sees with her own eyes through the half-open portal: thousands of golden-skinned, glowing-red-eyed inhuman soldiers in a dark misty country, like living statues, carrying rifles of an advanced design. *The men of gold and red,* Miles Hundredlives called them on the gallows — *bearers of the final metal* — and the prophecy Marasi has been carrying since then resolves, awfully, into a thing she is staring at. MB2:TLM:Ch 60

The force Autonomy intends to send through to Scadrial if Telsin fails to deliver the planet for her — *soldiers of gold skin and glowing red eyes,* a great many of them, as the caverns' head scientist reports to Gave Entrone. Marasi remembers the dying Miles Hundredlives speaking, awestruck, of *men of gold and red,* and recognises that the invasion now coming is what he had glimpsed. MB2:TLM:Ch 47
