[ WP ] Aliens come in peace , with absolutely no strings attached , but , humans , having spent centuries assuming the worst , are having a hard time trusting them .

As kids we had all watched the alien invasion movies, played the games and read the books. They were easy, the aliens come, we fight them and eventually we kill them. That's it. But after all real life was never like the movies, the games or the cartoons, we learned that. It's year 2078, it has been 15 years since I first heard it on TV, a large object had fallen from the skies. It literally crashed on Las Vegas, wiped the whole city out. The media first guessed that it was a nuclear missile sent by the Russians, luckily the military knew better so WW3 was postponed. When the dust, smoke and fire had subsided it was clear to everyone, even to uneducated folks, this was some type of construction and it was certainly not man made. 
 
 I remember the scenes like it was yesterday, all the TV-stations were there, sending live while the military ran around trying to figure something out. After a few hours a large ramplike thing fell down crushing a few of our soldiers and out came hundreds of creatures. They were about the size of a human but with 5 legs and a face like a cockroach. Luckily no fight broke out, our boys were frozen of fear. But it quickly turned out better than expected, they were quite intelligent and had studied us from far away, even learned our language. One of them held up a peace of steel which had the word “ peace ” cut out for everyone to see. Truly shocking. 
 
 Months later when the government had figured it all out, got their answers from our `` visitors'', it was time for the public to get some information about it. They had CNN make a live broadcast with one of these things, and it told us everything. Our `` visitors'' technology was based on nuclear fission, they had a major failure on their ship causing a meltdown. They were far away from home, actually they did n't even come from our universe and according to this thing it was impossible to fix anything on their ship because our universe didn ’ t have the material they need. It was something they called “ Reixidium ”, it's the material they use to run their nuclear reactor. Uran, Plutonium and such were way to weak and unstable to be used in such a ship. 
 
 First I thought this was great, these things obviously knew a lot about science since they had been traveling to other universes. They could probably teach us a lot. The government was thinking the same, because after the first year they started a project to integrate these things into society. New York was the place chosen, they got a block in the southern parts, but things went weird really quick. Just like humans they reproduce, now after 15 years there are tens of thousands of them. So they have gotten more space, and because of it tensions has been building up, they are starting to take up to much space. They even live in the same neighborhoods as humans now. They stink, they behave weird and they never talk to humans, it's like they see us as their enemy. We humans feel threatened. On top of that they are far more intelligent than us, they take all the jobs, the universities are filled with these things. They are pushing us away, taking over our society from the inside. I have started to believe maybe their ship never did fail, maybe this has been an attack all the time. Executed in a whole other fashion than what we saw in the movies and cartoons as kids. But I'm to scared to spread the word, to scared to even think about it, I've head rumors they are capable of hearing our thoughts, like telephaty. I do n't know how humanity will survive this, if we are lucky they will keep us as their slaves.
