"If aliens visit us, the outcome would be much as when Columbus landed in America, which didn't turn out well for the Native Americans."
-Stephen Hawking
We, as a species, have lived for several millennium without an answer to one particular question. Are we alone in the universe?
We've launched satellites, scanned for signals, and beamed out messages for decades now. We've found nothing, heard nothing, and, until now, thought our voices hurtled through the void unheard.
We have never been so wrong.
Exactly a week ago, first contact was made. A UFO landed in a small town near Johannesburg in South Africa. Twenty seven people were abducted in the incident. Fortunately, media coverage of the incident has been completely censored, and the public is currently unaware of the situation.
The news did, however, spread across the globe on the governmental level. Within two days, the Council was formed and enacted the X-Com project. Housed in an underground complex outside Berlin, Germany, X-Com Central Command is rapidly preparing for the coming war.
As with any war, however, we need soldiers. Men and women to deliver violence upon those who would do us harm. Heroes, to bring us light in our darkest hour.
