We were thought to be the height of civilization. Humans were living longer than ever, and technology had reached an all-time high. Even the extraterrestrials that dared step near Earth found themselves at odds with one of the most powerful armies in the galaxy. That's when we discovered them. Ancient beings who had advanced beyond even us, a species who's intellect outclassed even our most powerful supercomputers. We expected tears and bloodshed, a war unlike anything we'd ever seen. We did not expect to be welcomed with open arms.
