No one knows how they appeared in the first place and why they decided to destroy everything that humanity has built over the course of their history. Their only hope now lies in the hands of a defected Fog submarine and her crew. Yet, as they wait for their heroes to turn the tides in their favor, a new threat emerges, one that comes from beyond the stars and cares not for the plight of the now endangered human race. --------------- [Old Title: When Machines Collide] (Had to change it since I don't like the original.
