The nightmares have been recurring, the same exact ones, but each one showing one more equine than the last, but last night, it showed us crashing down in the midst of a battle between equines and some sort of insectoid race, slightly resembling them in shape and size, but everything else was different, their style, their technology, color, everything, the insects had explosives, guns, planes, bayonets, bombs, a few even had missile launchers. The equines were getting slaughtered by the thousands beneath the insects, but eventually overwhelmed them and took the position, in the front were two alicorns, one pearl white with a pastel rainbow mane, the other dark blue with a starry mane, and the purple unicorn that kept recurring in my dreams was in between them. I shook the thought and concentrated on the system in front of us; a garden world that has the sun and moon orbit it, nobody in the crew could figure it out and a vote was held on if we should unfreeze the three guards so they can stretch their new bodies out, and the vote was unanimous. I opened up each of the cases and let them stumble out, coughing and breathing heavily, then hear it go down into yells and accusations pointed my way at their new form, but the look in my eye quickly shut them up, the fog had blocked their tags and now I can see their names; 
'Corporal Dell Conagher: Driver'

'Lieutenant 1st class Brance Wimbleton: Pilot'

'Corporal Jane Doe: Smartgunner'

I pondered this in my head 'Smartgunner, a pilot and a driver? why would the USCM be needed on a colony ship?' someone didn't tell the passengers something and it cost them their lives. I honestly had no idea why the USCM would be involved in a simple colonization effort, other than things weren't as they seemed, I'd have to check the cargo roster a little later but something shook the ship a little. I left them to their screams and yells and told the others that the three are awake, but told them that something is very wrong about the failed mission we volunteered for, then explained that the three aren't security guards but Colonial Marines. That did not make them happy, and Samsung volunteered to go in and shout at them and explain what is going on, something that I give him credit for, for they were shouting loudly, but a few moments after they quieted down it gone back up into screams, then down for the second time and stayed that way, relatively. Samsung poked his head out and nodded at us, we came in and found the three huddled together in the corner trying to figure out what was going on. I approached them and started explaining what was going on, and after a few minutes of them accusing me of this they finally settled down and listened intently for what I had to tell them...

({Temple Prime})

Everything was going smoothly, the being was sitting in a chair reading off the latest news in Equestria while sipping a cup of tea, the Temple was built with no problems and the reactors were fully functional, now all he had to do was wait for one of the splintered factions to resurface and he could utilize one of his newest AI commanders against them. None have resurfaced so far, either because they were wiped out or also biding their time, but his followers are growing, and soon he will be able to take nearby towns, he already has sleeper cells planted in each of his planned cities, they only need the signal to begin. One of his followers knocked on the door and entered, with a datapad on their production and research, she silently gave it to him and left. While he read through he thought aloud "some day, Celestia, you will see why you do not try to hold back change, for the messiah has returned, the populace will have what is rightfully theirs, and you will see this day, for I have plans for you, you will come to respect the name that is Kane, or I will make sure you fear it"
