A mother-ship crashes into earth, casting shadows upon New York City. Alarm rises, as citizens promptly attempt to escape.
New York City. The city of everyone's aspirations. Everything is complete. Lady Liberty stands in the distance, the sun beating down upon it. Little kids swing on the swingset and slide down the slides. Teenagers prepare for college, and adults perform at Broadway and live their childhood fantasies. As all seems flawless, immediately, chaos erupts. A mother-ship crashes into earth, casting shadows upon New York City. Alarm rises, as citizens promptly attempt to escape. There are three fractions of survivors, Tridents, hawks, and The centipedes. Some of the survivors end up at the Military base camp, as some end up as loners struggling for survival.
