The Invasion
The invasion started suddenly. Large, soft, amniotic sacs dropped from the sky. The governments quarantined off the area around the sacs. Each nations top scientific minds were brought in to research these mysterious sacs. However each nation was working independently. Our lack of unity was our downfall, that’s just what they were counting on. Less than a month after the sacs fell from the sky did movement begin inside them, Pushing and prodding. The first one erupted in London. The British were utterly unprepared for what was unleashed upon their city. It was the size of a large suv when it emerged. It was very insect like. Six legs could be seen as well as a pair of antennas. However, wires could be seen though it’s translucent skin. Something was flowing between the tubes and wires. A faint blue glow was visible. Within moments it grew to the size of a small single story building. It’s skin thickened and hardened. The military came out guns firing. It’s flesh had grown too thick to be pierced. It’s head was smaller than the rest of its body. It’s mouth opened wide as a large red
Beam cut though the military, incinerating them. After that it was killing everyone in sight. Similar reports surfaced from nearly every other nation with a sac. Saudi Arabia, China, Russia. Our sac landed in New York. Within a month every major city on earth were transformed in to ghost towns. The bugs slowly made their way from city to city destroying everything is it’s path. The survivors made their way underground in to disused war bunkers. Six months after the invasion began with all the nations scientists working together via 1930’s era communications systems, weapons were created. They were energy based. These new weapons were strong enough to blast through the hard thick skin of the bugs. We now had a way to defend ourselves. If only it had not already been too late.
