Alright, time to start production fellow future pioneers.” Tidanos said.
“Yes sir.” They replied and everyone started working.
Now that they had finished setting things up they started the production in the production areas they had set up in the warehouse. Tidanos had made use of his knowledge and connections to secure resources and supplies for the production, while the others worked on extracting their tech, so they had everything they needed and immediately began producing their future tech.
Among other things they started making robots that were indistinguishable from normal humans and set up fake identities and backgrounds for them. The purpose of them was to use them as physical labor and underlings out in the world to expand their operations and production outwardly. They also started making other robots and setting up supercomputers inside to help with advanced information processing tasks and managing their factories. Furthermore they also used their tech to get an edge in different business ventures to rake in profits as their projects would cost a lot of resources which would take lots of money to acquire.
Now, they could probably make due without funds to begin with and just take them from all kinds of individuals, but there were major problems with using that method and good reasons to avoid it. Doing so would first of all put a major burden on the world and the people in it. Even if you ignored the morals behind it, the world didn’t have the technology and manpower to sustain their consumption long term. That, however, wouldn’t be a problem if they were to even it out with their own contributions to society. Using the more uncivilized methods would be impossible to keep under wraps long term, as too much money and resources went missing with nothing to show for it. If they, however, used businesses to cover it up they could use them to hide what they were doing behind the scenes and make people and authorities turn a blind eye to their activities. It was especially so as they brought in a lot of taxes and revenue, etc. and had the funds to bribe people in positions of power making it relatively easy for them to avoid being investigated or scrutinized.
In order to hide themselves as they spread their territory they set up mind and technology interference and manipulation devices. This was to make people oblivious to what they were doing and make people tolerate and ignore them and not pay attention to their activities. That also included making people docile even if they were to see their future tech and projects. Those devices were controlled and monitored by quantum supercomputers which were constantly monitoring people and their minds to make sure they didn’t discover them nor their activities and even in the cases they did, they simply brainwashed people and made sure that no information or footage existed of them nor their activities. As a result, they almost never had to use physical force, but could more or less rely solely on mind and information manipulation.

In less than a year they had taken over the country they were originally stationed in. Not officially of course, but they had it at their disposal to do with what they liked. As long as they didn’t alarm people outside of their territory, this wasn’t a problem. After taking over their first country they also started sending many satellites into space and within some month they had them stationed all around the world. Then the global mind interference began. After they activated them, all humans around the world went under their control. By means of their newfound control, they then took over all other countries on the ground level as well. Finally they replaced all the UN flags at the UN headquarters with their own specially made flags and then had them camouflaged to make them look like the normal UN flags. Their flag was a depiction of logic gates symbolizing that the coming era would be one controlled, driven and ruled by logic and reason. At least that was Tidanos’ intention.
Taking over the world. Check.
“Alright, it’s time to let humanity know what’s coming.” Tidanos said.
They hacked into all the world's main communication networks and let all the government authorities know to gather in the UN headquarters within one week's time. Using mind manipulation they also made sure to make the event seem like it was completely normal. As a result, people didn’t react to it, think it was strange, nor question it. Not even in the slightest.
When all the representatives had gathered to be there at the event day which they had set to be a week after the announcement, they had a super advanced humanoid robot speak to them in the main UN meeting hall. It was a robot that was indistinguishable from a human for any normal 21st century person. With some extra mind manipulation everyone was fully convinced that it wasn't a robot but a real person standing there. They also made sure that people all over the world could hear the message it was going to speak through their system, robots, computers and world wide connections. It was done so everyone would know about the announcement they were going to make there within 24 hours. Those that were unable to watch it for one reason or another received the messages directly into their minds.
