INTRO:
We were more advanced than we had ever been before. It had been years since the colony on Mars had taken off, that being the biggest achievement of the decade. Little did we know, we pissed of some little green men in doing so, and they weren't so little. When the first ships arrived, we knew war was upon us and we were ready. Those alien bastards fell in a few days. Our cities celebrated our first victory against an alien race and we thought that would be it.
We were so very wrong.
The real ships came. They looked like flying aircraft carries, but they were really weapons of mass destruction all in their own. The lasers, more directed and powerful than even the most advanced human weaponry, carved into all of our intergalactic defense systems like they were warm butter. In a day- a day- they had taken a foothold on all seven continents.
That's when it went to shit. All of the worlds armies only held them for a few months. We tried cooking them with lasers, bombing them, gassing them, everything short of the destruction of our own planet, but no matter how many we killed, there were more. Eventually, they marched through our cities, taking prisoners, killing anything that didn't bow. Few were able to escape, and fewer still wanted to rebel. I am one of the fewer, and I cannot stand ideally by as Earth is raped by these monsters. Nor can the others that have joined up with me. We call ourselves the (insert group name/possible name of thread).
Today, we found one of the labor camps they take the prisoners too. We are going to try to take it back. If we fail, I pray someone finds this and raises up like us.
If I don't make it, to all my companions: Never forget; this is our home, not theirs. We can't let them take it.
