[ WP ] Aliens come to Earth in hoping to wipe us out and take over the planet , but are honorable and gives us a fighting chance . They announce they will return in 100 years so as to give Earth a chance to prepare and defend itself . Neither side expected what the other would bring to war

The thrill of coming battle could be smelled throughout the ship, As the blue planet became visable. Many artificers had made predictions as to the technology the race would face from these primatives. No orbiting defense stations, nothing in orbit at all! Curious, as we know they had simple satellites and rudimentry space stations, no the skies above the planet were completely clear. one whole pantheon of artificer theories gone. We have announced our arrival, a beacon has begun to broadcast at the center of a huge artifact, a flower, identified as a lotus, but this is not a plant, but a geographic/biological effect, the petals stretch across a thousand kilometers each. No other sign of any technology appears on the planet, no cities, no ruins, no lights or roads. Only the apparent flower adorning the face of the planet. This is eliminating most of the artificer theories, all except those scenarios that become worst case for the race. As the commander of these forces this is disturbing, either the humans have abandoned their own planet, or no longer need it. A ship is sent down to the beacon location, there is one human standing on a vast plain where the beacon originates from. a squad is sent to meet the human. as we watch the meeting, the human is dressed simply with no technology on or within it, the heavily armored squad deploys into a simple semicircular array. Using the squad leaders armored suit I ask if the humans are prepared for the battle that is to begin. The lone creature raises a single upper appendage level with the ground, the end portion bent up, with digits pointing up. It speaks `` we did not ask for war, we do not seek your destruction, go before we are forced to defend ourselves. Inner alarms blaze, this is not how simple primatives react to the race, terror, aggression, fury, and rage, not calm pity. As I watch the squad leader gives the signal, all weapons are actively trained on the pitiful figure before them, disappointment in the troops is palpable as the the squad leader says `` defend this'' all all weapons systems are fired at the weak soft creature. nothing happens, troopers begin to check weapon sytems, before the first of the screaming begins. The suit camera feeds are lost, but the ships cameras clearly record the troopers appearing to disintegrate into dust, the feed from the ship on the ground is lost just before numerous emergency klaxons sound the failure of vital ships systems the outside camera feed from the flagship shows the disintegration of the fleet starting with the ships closest to the planet. AS my flagship ceases to exist around me the one scenario that was dismissed has come about, I wonder if any of the race will be left alive in the galaxy.
