Earth Awakens (The First Formic War) - Plot & Excerpts
The strike team was getting hammered. It was chaos in the cargo bay. ZZ and Bolshakov had flatlined. Cocktail’s biometrics had gone completely silent. The remaining helmetcams were projected all in front of him, but the movements were so erratic and fuzzy, it was difficult to tell what was happening. A technician approached him. “I’m sorry to disturb you, Mr. Jukes, but we’re getting strange reports from Earth.” “What type of reports?” “The Formics, sir. They’re all returning to the landers.” Lem followed the technician back to his console. The tech had a vid on screen. “This is from surveillance cams in the city of Chenzhou.” The tech pressed play. A Formic death squad was spraying a crowd of hundreds of people outside a rail station. Gas billowed forth from the Formics’ wands, enveloping those trying to escape. Men and women gasped and fell. The Formics advanced in a wide line, meeting no resistance. A time code in the bottom of the feed was counting off the seconds.
