Are we truly alone in the universe? Humanity received its answer on April 29, 2016. It was by chance SETI picked up the meteorites headed straight for the surface of the Earth. Though a year away, fanatical groups preached about the coming apocalypse, news channels flooded with unjustified rumors, and the world powers blamed one another for purposefully seeding chaos into their countries. Months later, however, NASA yielded news that the objects were slowing. The first broadcast commenced. 

Emerging on every single screen on Earth was a species entirely different from humanity yet similar in many respects. Humanoid in nature whilst garbed with the palest of rotting skin, the first Pantheon stood crudely integrated with various machines. The world powers sought to communicate with the pantheons but nothing was ever sent back. All the broadcast showed was a single alien staring blankly from the screen.

Weeks of communicating unsuccessful, the United Earth Sphere Alliance, U.E.S.A, was created in expectations of hostile first contact. The militaries merged while weapons were developed. Though old roots of contrasting ideologies still remained, humanity united under a common cause. To protect itself from the pantheons, if it should ever come to open warfare

April 24, 2017. The skies burned a terrible red as meteors showered from the skies. When the smoke from the ruined landscape and cities dissipated, a war machine so terrible emerged as pantheon soldiers strode forth. The machine-flesh race swept through each country with legendary speed. Cities burned from their arsenal. Their large spider-like war machines tore through the ranks of the U.E.S.A armed forces. For a time, during what came to be known as the First Contact Wars, humanity was kept on the defensive as front lines receded by the day.

Soon, the tide changed when humanity finally began to innovate. With new military weapons, vehicles, and aircrafts better catered to combat the pantheons, humanity managed to halt the extraterrestrial advance. However, though the zones behind the new defensive lines were protected, millions were left behind to survive for themselves. Ghastly rumors of many being abducted and changed into pantheon foot soldiers began to circulate amongst survivors beyond the defensive line. While many went underground and hid from the pantheons, pockets of resistance fought back against the unwelcome guests believing in a human and free Earth. 

The year is 2017. Humanity is scattered. The deadliest enemy tramples upon rotting Earth. Will humanity survive or fall to the pantheons?

Hello everyone, 

Here’s a little interest check for an extraterrestrial invasion-esque plot that I’m really excited to write out. Though there will be a ton of warfare-esque elements present within said storyline, this will be emphasizing character development and survival within Pantheon occupied territory.

Anyways, I’ll post more info if there’s any interest. This is but a small synopsis, a teaser if you will. 

Hope to hear from folks![/center]
