about

One of the most tragic aspects about the invasion was that the military predicted that it would happen months in advance, but could do very little to prepare. In the summer, scientists at NASA detected a previously undiscovered body in the sky. It changed course unnaturally multiple times in the months that it was observed, causing a mixture of excitement and alarm.

When they were able to point their telescopes at it and get a decent look, experts concluded that this body was some kind of manmade object. The President was notified, as were many world leaders, but this news was kept classified for fear of chaos and unrest.

Some American military leaders suspected that it was a previously unknown weapon from the former Soviet Union or China, while others argued that its location and projection did not make since if it had originated on the Earth.

For the next few weeks, the government began preparations for both a hostile alien invasion and a friendly diplomatic visit from another world. We received neither. These drones were just a lifeless force of robots from an unknown source.

I had been decrypting classified transmissions for weeks and I was prepared to help the world on the day they arrived.
