And then came the noise.

It was an unexpected show of might. Marching soldiers and marching bands, all done up in their ceremonial uniforms. Each one a perfect sample of the fighting machine that was the Imperial army. These complimented by banners, slogans, propaganda abound. It made the normaly threatening looking coats seem heroic. Dotted amongst the people were the constructs, towering heads above the other Coats, but still weighing a specially modified uniform.

Breaking up the small marching groups were fine examples of technology. Tanks, special guns, even a towed platform showing some of the latest aviation developments. There too were dignitaries. Men and women in fancy carriages, waving to the people. A few of the military generals were riding in the sleek new autos. Much more impressive than the Model Ts most of the Holdine nobility had.

At the centre of it all was a cross between a mini-crawler and a float. It was obvious who the machine was for considering it was draped in purple imperial banners. There was a man standing on one of the machine's balcony like decks, waving to the passing crowds.

The empire's presence would be known in Holdine City.
