An excerpt featuring the V.E.A.G.

Here, the Vraagas Executive Admiral General has to show patience in defference to protocol. Oh how he wishes he could blow up that planet now!

The VEAG would like to have started the invasion of Earth
but he was a stickler for protocol. The countdown had been
set to provide sufficient time for final preparations. Due to the
automation of virtually everything, the preparations had been
completed at about ninety-nine point ninety-eight point ninety.
No wonder he was bored. Unfortunately for him, the invasion
itself was also fully automated. When the clock reached zero,
the booster thrusters on every ship in the fleet would ignite
and they would all head to Earth on a pre-computed course
at a programmed hyper-speed. Each ship would arrive at preset
co-ordinates and attack a pre-determined country or city.
The targets would be bombed automatically and any enemy
attack would be repelled by automatic fire set off by automatic
sensors. Droid controlled fighter craft would take care of any
pockets of resistance. There was little need in fact for the
Vraagas themselves to tag along but the VEAG wanted to
accept Earth’s surrender in person as he felt it would be a good
photo opportunity.
The VEAG pondered over the decision to start the
countdown at one hundred. He would have preferred ten but
it was just one of those things with invasions that you had to
set an invasion time and it had to have an inordinately long
countdown. He wondered if there was any way of speeding up
the clock at Crewman Twelve’s console but decided against it
on principle. There were other matters at the moment that
needed resolving. At least they were helping to alleviate the
boredom.
