Description
"No one was watching..." ...their landing. Their first scout ships arrived at dawn, but only a handful of humans was still alive. Not on Earth, but far away, on the invaders mother ship - behind Moon's orbit. Lucky were those few taken 8 months ago. They were kept as specimens of a race that had to be slaughtered.
Invaders did not want to destroy Earth, its biosphere was just what they needed, it was the purpose of their long journey. They have only to get rid of potential thread posed by humans. Although primitives, but still dangerous. Invaders were preoccupied by thread posed by nuclear missiles. They have not been prepared to wage an open war with a technical civilization, and a single low yield nuclear warhead could easily destroy any of their ship.
They left their home planet over 20000 years ago, they knew their destination thanks to robots which provided them with very detailed information about Earth. However by a strange coincidence, no robot succeed to identify stone age humans as a specie that could quickly develop to technical civilization, which now posed a thread that have to be dismissed.
Just six month earlier, they started sending on Earth drones that spread deadly virus all over continents. Of course, drone ships were well protected against Earth's tracking radar systems. However, few malfunctioning drones crashed and remains of one have been discovered on hills surrounding Zaisan Lake. They have been even correctly identified, so humanity could learn the cause of mysterious disease that has been proliferating since a few weeks at alarming rate.
Fortunately, it is only fiction - I hope I did not scare you too much :)
The story will continue.... (if you like it)

Nod nod nod....I cannot begin to express how fantastic this piece is. How much space did it take up on your hard drive? And the rendering time....? I am often afraid to do big things like this, as sometimes our power supply can be a bit unreliable and I can imagine it almost getting to the end and going pufft
I'm glad I wasn't in that tower when it 'landed' hee hee. Excellent craft again (pun intended!)
