Alien's Greatest Push Yet!
November 22, 29480 - [Atlantean]
IRRK - It's little before eleven, standard Rubi-Kan time and the ICC's long-range sensors had been tracking Comet 22514-Alpha on a close course with Rubi-Ka for the past six months. ICC's probe system around the planet noticed that the wake of the comet was particularly interesting, in the fact that it blocked sensor penetration, the comet itself was made of an unknown alloy composite, almost like a giant ball of metal, except with no natural engines.
At five to eleven, the comet picked up speed and altered course, orbiting Rubi-Ka in a matter of seconds and came to an amazing halt above the terraformed areas of Rubi-Ka.
It opened up like a flower, and began to rotate, from it's five-hundred mile high advantage over Rubi-Ka it began to rain down aliens on the planet from the petal like arms of it which emptied from their green tint in hundreds of flashes of light.
The aliens landed all over the planet, and began a challenging attack on the planet as the flower like mechanism above broke off it's petals to reveal a spherical core. It writhed and moved with what seemed like a giant organism. However, the probe system recognised it as a clear substance of some sort containing readily awakening bodies of over a million aliens.
The sphere itself loomed for a good five minutes before projecting three beams of blinding green light onto the planet, the beams moved across the planet, spreading a sea of panic as they began to look for the greatest concentrations of humanoid lifesigns.
They stopped, on Borealis, Rome and Old Athens and the beams acted like chutes, empting the aliens in an all out assault on the planet.
Literally, millions of aliens dropped onto the planet so much so that the reclaim system began to overload and the ICC warned citizens of a twenty-five percent chance of reclaim failure.
The aliens had taken Rome and had slaughtered large contents of Borealis and Old Athen. With Rome looking like a weak target, the aliens took their attack off Borealis and onto Rome in an attempt to take a land target permanently.
In the diversion, the people of Borealis were able to regroup and take out the remaining aliens before moving to assist the defenders of Rome and Old Athen. After two million aliens, and an hour and a half of slaughter the ICC notified that the reclamation system had come back to full capacity and that no-one had been lost through permadeath.
The sphere above, now empty looked like a sphere of glass, refracting light across the planet. Seconds later, it shattered and the sky cleared. The material that protected it had burnt up in the atmosphere and as a result, had cleared the skies.
Sirens sounded moments later as the ICC probe network picked up three additional "comets" on an intercept course with Rubi-Ka. Their slow moving paces made their speeds impossible to predict. While the first may have just been a test for the people of Rubi-Ka, the final three look like an all out invasion force, and there's no way to predict when exactly they'll arrive.
Will Rubi-Ka stand against what could be over six million aliens? That, I do not know.
