The 401 Incident

"“You know, I always imagined aliens looking like the ones in Mars Attacks. You know- scaly little bodies and those weird little ray guns. Tiny little fuckers.

It's been a year since the invading species destroyed the majority of human kind, a year since Huxley has known peace. She and her group of wandering nomads have no concept of "home", only of "safe." When news of an uprising reaches them, they are hesitant to join. They've already seen the rebellions squashed, and the participators killed. But there is something different, now.

Risking everything they've built, setting aside what they know, Huxley and her measly group of 3 set out to reclaim Earth.
