Enemy territory v2 ( A last contact story)

Planetfall (Lewis)

Ohio, bunker 9, America

It was a regular Monday morning for me as I lay back in my chair while sipping my still warm coffee. It had been a long weekend, dealing with the political aspect of this job and the budget cuts weren't making my life any easier. It was hard enough that the political landscape kept changing every 4 years or so while they gave the impression that they were doing something productive in power. Pleasing the people that was all they were interested in so they could be re-elected.

A beep from my computer startled me and I accidently spilled a little bit from my cup. I set it down on the desk and glanced at the computer. There was an unusual red blip that had literally just showed up on the radar which was odd due to the much longer range. Which meant that it should have picked it up a while ago and not in such close proximity to the Luna five colony. Asteroids usually burned up in contact with the earth's atmosphere, weakened by the years of industry as it was. So it shouldn't have been something to worry about. The dot suddenly seemed to be growing which shouldn't have been possible. I watched in horror as the blip consumed the Luna base, I quickly switched the satellite imaging.

The warship was gigantic, stretching across a large portion of the moon, approximately the size of a medium sized country. Specifics were hard to make out with this satellite system but it appeared to not be the only alien spaceship present. In the background I could see at least another one, if not a third as well. The general would have to be notified immediately. I switched over to secured email and noticed a five hour old email that for some reason hadn't received till now, it had been sent to everyone above level seven clearance in the base. I opened the email and found it was just an audio attachment. I clicked play.

For the first minute only gunfire could be heard along with a rather persistent alarm, there was static for a moment before someone began speaking "We are surrounded, the escape shuttles have been destroyed and there is no way off this stupid rock. It is extremely unlikely any off us here alive, it is far too late for us and we might as well tell you everything about what humanity is up against."

"The attack had no warning as they didn't come up on our radar until it was far too late. The defensive cannons were destroyed by strafing runs first. Secondly they deployed an army of androids which proceeded to force us back corridor by corridor, room by room. The technology they have is immensely superior on every level and our basic inner defenses stood no chance against them. We are currently holed up in the bio domes where it looks like they are withdrawing but this could mean-" I paused the audio and my blood chilled, if this had happened five hours ago what had the warships done since then? I got my answer almost instantly. The room shook violently as if it was major earthquake, I was pretty certain that wasn't what it was.

A message popped up from the general, I scanned over it quickly, it asked that every level seven and eight to report to the level two boardroom as soon as possible. I left the cozy comfort of my room and headed to the lift at the end of the hall. I gingerly stepped into and there was a loud groan as he did so. The majority of the bunker was over forty years old and was in dire need of a refurbishment, this had been illustrated the most in the past few months as the cement started to come apart, deteriorating most of the concrete that made up the walls.

The lift doors opened into a maze of corridors that stretched off into the distance on both sides of the door. Fortunately, there was a handy map opposite the lift showing the layout of the complex. Five minutes later, after getting lost several times I arrived at the boardroom. The door was slightly ajar and I could hear raised voice on the other side, some of which I recognized and there was some that I didn't. I knocked on the door three times and the voices stopped abruptly, a booming voice sounded from behind the door.
