The Invasion

The Plan

There were warnings. Plenty of them. The FBI should have seen it coming. Geej, the whole world should have seen it coming. We actually had a whole class on the life on Mars. They had said that since the Martians had began inhabiting Mars, it became like Earth, but worse. Smog everywhere, no air to breath. They actually had to make a machine that created air
like ours on Earth to put in buildings so they wouldn't suffocate (but as far as we were concerned they could die by the thousands and we wouldn't care). We saw images from a
satellite of Mars today comparing Mars in 2010, and boy were they different.

Finding a way to destroy them won't be easy. I have to kill them quickly before they find me. Of course, I hope they don't figure out I'm alive still. That would completely ruin everything, including my existence.
Information on the Martians is rare; only a really good book will only ever hint on what they can do or the technology they have created.

This is all I know about them:
1. They're technologically advanced enough that they are a challenge for humans to beat in a war.

2. They don't look like humans. They have four arms and two legs, pure white skin, and blue eyes.

3. The Martian race is under a dictatorship. If you don't follow that dictator, you're dead on the spot. I've heard stories of Martian on the
battlefield dying because another killed them for not following the rules of their monarch.

That's it. That's all most people know, unless you're in the FBI. Aha! Why didn't I think of this before?

The library!
If the only chance I have of winning this war my planet started is going down the drain fast then I'm not going down without a fight.

The Martians could be packing up their things as I just sit here doing nothing. Knowing that this is
my only chance at survival, I biked as fast as I could to the library across town. I searched for "FBI" in the card catalog; nothing. Zip. Zero.
Zilch. Nada. Not a book in the library had anything on the FBI. Joy, just the news I needed.

Ok, think... what other options do I have? The internet doesn't work because the Martians killed our electricity, and even if it did I
couldn't hack into any government databases. I may require anger management but I'm not a
computer hacker. Ummm... I need a book. Ok, sooo... I don't have time to look in every library in the world. But, what is the largest government library in the world?

The Library of Congress! "National Treasure 2: Book of Secrets", one of the oldest movies I've ever seen
on TV, had a code to the XY section in the Library of Congress. If it works, I could find where the FBI's Secret Headquarters is and find the plan to destroy Mars and the Martians.

Hopefully.
The only thing I need to worry about is transportation. The buses aren't working. I can't catch a flight because the airlines aren't running either. Wait a second... the hover car! I
rushed home, panting hard by the time I got there.
