[ WP ] War has been raging for years upon years now . You are a reporter embedded in a famous military unit among your newest allies in this war , humanity .

`` A rough bunch, these humans.'' A veteran Tarkian said into the microphone. `` From a world in the Waste Stars, where no other life can be found for millions of lightyears.'' 
 
 The Tarkian was... More or less weathered by the experience of fighting for twenty years. Across the stars, a thousand worlds burned. The Grek were beginning to spread across the void, and they wanted no part in our Union. They simply killed, and conquered. 
 `` Do you think that's what made them so strong?'' I asked. 
 
 `` Yes. They have a.. cold fury about them. Perhaps the bitterness from thousands of years of isolation got to them as a whole. All I can tell you, Muthsero, is that I do n't want to piss a Human soldier off. They might not be as coordinated as a Tarkian drone unit, but my gods if they are n't tough. I saw one take several rounds and still fight. It's their fight or flight instincts.. I can see it in their eyes when they fight - and I can hear their alien thoughts. They. Are. Vicious.'' 
 
 `` And that has to do with their worlds being burned?'' 
 
 `` Yes. Not many know of what happened to the humans homeworlds precisely - the Grek destroyed Sol. The most atrocious of war crimes. They could not defeat them in conventional fighting you see, the human survival instinct makes them fight with a demonic strength. They had to resort to cowardly tactics.'' He gritted his mandibles, overwhelmed by thoughts. `` You should see their thoughts, Muthsero. They lost Thousands of years of culture, their homeworld. And let me tell you, in the Waste Stars, Earth was the only planet that was lush and verdant with life. It was all they had save for some lightly habitable terraformed colonies that took them centuries to build. They lost all of it, and now, as an endangered species, as a dying breed.. Their animalistic rage is potent as ever. They realize that the Grek will not stop. And instead of running, they're fighting.'' He paused for a moment, clicking his mandibles. 
 
 `` Do you think with these new allies we stand a chance?'' 
 
 `` More than a chance, Muthsero. We will win this... And then I fear we will be punished for not offering the Humans assistance in the defense in all they had ever known.''
