that was the start of the Great War. the invaders didn't just come from the sky. there were others who had been around much longer. they spent this time building their infrastructure & formulating their own plan for the island. this planet was common knowledge among the star people. it was one of the most unique configuration of elements to exist with an atmosphere that didn't just sustain life - it caused it to thrive. it was coveted by all therefore only the most advanced c

one of the most incredible features of the island was the shoreline. it was vast as it was breathtaking - not that it mattered much to the invaders. to the inhabitants of the island, it was a never-ending source of adventure, awe & wonder. They never took it for granted. there was an awareness that there was more available to them than they could ever want or need there, yet a discipline & desire to maintain balance. they were the caretakers of this beautiful place. even capt

this invasion most certainly did not happen spontaneously. as the survivors were marched forward, it became terrifyingly clear that the hostile takeover of this land they loved so much had been underway for some time. through the clearing of the tangled brush that was now devoid of all trace of leaves & flowers appeared a large enclosure. it was filled with tents & a large structure that looked like a hospital. the group looked at each other. where did this come from? when? w

When we think about empires, we generally think of the Great Wars & the ideas that pave the way for economic growth & concentration of power to those very same groups. What we fail to realize is that we on this planet did not invent the idea. We experienced it first hand as we were captured & colonized by those from other worlds looking to reinvent our systems & machines in order to build them in their own image. it may seem like empires are hard fought & won through grit & d

The goal on the island was to find the fastest way to extract as much as they could as quickly as possible & get it to the off-planet storage facility so they could begin the next phase of the plan. However, the next phase was never really explained to them. The task of this team was to lay the groundwork for the extraction. the goals were simple: catch & contain the humans Prepare them for the camps (there were several with different tasks for each) some of the captives woul

In the beginning as well as the end, every living & nonliving thing is a product of the machine. Among the living, every civilization has tried to describe the reality of their experiences here. By nature, this is impossible as nature is always in flux. It seems that just as we begin to scratch the surface of the mysteries of life and the universe, the machine (or one the the factions that protect it) makes sure we know our place in the never ending universe. We can surmise t

They came from the sky. We cab go back to the most primitive cultures & the story is the same. It gets passed down in the for =m of story, song, dance or art. The format isn't so important - the information is, Most of this world has spent thousands of years waging war & fighting over which God is the correct God or which religious text contains the true story of everything. The human race seems to have as many theories as there are people. Maybe there were 8 armed blue peopl

The invasion was swift and efficient. The devastation of the beautiful trees & plants that had made the island such a paradise were gone in an instant. the incredible architecture was largely reduced to rubble in the blink of an eye. so many islanders perished before any of the populace knew what had transpired. tragically, the ones who survived didn't even have time to mourn all that was lost. a few were able to escape initial capture. Most were rounded up in hours. it was o
