[ WP ] aliens invade earth but what the do n't realise is that humans have been fighting each other forever and have become very good at it .

Ringing. Ringing. Ringing. -WHY WO N'T MY EARS STOP RINGING- My tongue scraped across the roof of my mouth. - What is that? - I thought. 
 -Blood? Human Blood? Both? - 
 It was difficult to discern the scene before me as I grew evermore queasy. Screams saturated the air around me. 
 `` Jackva, STATUS REPORT'' I Bellowed. 
 `` JACKVA'' I scanned the area for my logistics assistant. 
 Only more ringing and smoke. 
 `` JACKVA REPORT!'' One of my stomachs finally emptied as I discovered the remainder of Jackva's torso some 15 units from where I was. 
 -Why include anti-nausea as part of our battle diet if only to... awww F***- 
 I discovered Mr. Laramie's, our United States diplomat, body close to Jackva's. He was dying, but smiling. -What???? - 
 `` VIVA LA RESISTENCIA'' I heard. -What? How did they get in here? - Pulses of death erupted in every corner of the conference room, as the symphony of battle arrived.- How was the door from the inside opened? - The rhythm of concussive blasts rang in my ears again. Plasma blasts trumpeted out from the balcony, but were quickly silenced. 
 As I gathered what had taken place... what was taking place, I realized that what I thought was the Final of the war, was the merely the overture of their resistance. 
 -Time to go- 
 I frantically dove under the podium and activated the transporter on my wrist. I beamed to an escape pod, as the rest of my ship was already in ruins. 
 
... 
 `` Commander Gurlock!!!'' 
 I jumped in my seat. -not again- I thought. 
 `` I apologize Senator, my mind has not been the same since returning'' I carefully said. 
 `` Regardless Commander, I require a report, cease your ramblings. Focus. You are safe here and we need a report''. 
 `` Right sir, I will not let my mind drift again'' 
 `` How much of your force remains?'' 
 `` Only the 703rd transport sir'' 
 `` Were the people of earth conquered'' 
 `` No, sir'' 
 `` Did we not asses them to be of primitive technology'' 
 `` Yes, sir'' 
 `` Did we not easily beat them in battle'' 
 `` Correct, sir, however they did adjust tactics rather quickly. They a not new to the notion of battle. They fought themselves constantly before our arrival.'' 
 `` Regardless, did not their most powerful country offer us peace? 
 `` Yes Sir'' 
 `` Did they not present us with a gift? A statue of freedo..'' 
 `` Liberty Sir'' 
 `` How's that? 
 `` A statue of liberty sir'' 
 `` Ah yes... how did diplomatic relations devolve from this gift to our defeat at the planetary inauguration?'' 
 `` The gift was a ruse sir'' 
 `` A ruse? I do not understand?'' 
 `` Yes sir, a ruse. The people of earth conceded as a ploy. They hid weapons and personnel within the gift, and used it to get close to our weapons and communication systems? They waited until the inauguration and attacked... everyone, everywhere.'' Gasps of horror filled the council room. 
 `` Commander... this is an unusual foe, something we have not faced before. How would you recommend we subjugate them'' 
 `` Permission to speak with honesty sir?'' 
 `` Yes, such is assumed commander'' 
 `` I recommend planetary annihilation?'' More gasp rang out. 
 `` Commander, we have not destroyed a planet in over 1,000 years, and we stand to lose a great deal in prospective resources.'' 
 `` I understand sir, but, they will never stop fighting us. They will take what they have learned of us and will not stop until we are no longer a threat.'' 
 `` We will see commander, we have much to discuss, you are dismissed'' 
 `` Senator?'' 
 `` Hmmm?'' 
 `` When the council reviews the briefings and accepts my proposal... I would like to press the button and then resign''. Shouts filled the room as I quietly exited. 
 The ringing stopped the moment I pressed the button.
