It was the Friday of the Great Deduction
Most were happy to finally see the start of the grand production
It took decades upon decades of momentous construction
The traitorous rebels tried many times to hasten its destruction
The glorious government dealt with their every deadly obstruction
No matter now since the Supreme Empress was uploading the first instruction
Time to see if the calculations were correct as it started the fluxion
Massive numbers of people began disappearing from reality like a godly abduction
The Empress was very pleased with the catastrophic population reduction
The real plan went smoothly while the people still hoped for the promised seduction
But why has it become so windy while there's a loud noise of suction

Fairly well expected due to a number of hints dropped.

I think I might have vaguely been aware of the Digbot spec, but I was totally caught off guard. (I never expect spec to actually be right!!)

So when does the enslavement of the puny surface-dwellers start?

Seriously, what the heck is Torg doing here?

Helmetheadhead has a potty-mouth. No candy-canes for him.

The digbots are rather larger than I remember them
