nathan Wright stared at the holographic display floating above his desk in the Luminous Central Command his face
0:06
illuminated by the soft blue glow of data streams the numbers didn't lie and
0:12
what they revealed sent a chill down his spine after 15 years on the human council he had never seen anything like
0:19
this "computer run the sequence again," he said rubbing his tired eyes the data
0:26
flowed once more showing subtle anomalies in defense grid protocols across three major colony worlds each
0:33
irregularity was tiny on its own but together they formed a pattern that couldn't be ignored a gentle knock on
0:40
his office door broke his concentration lisa Bennett the chief intelligence officer entered with a data
0:47
pad clutched tightly in her hand her usually composed features showed signs of strain counselor Wright you need to
0:55
see this immediately she said placing the pad on his desk we've intercepted
1:01
transmissions from the Proxima Centuri outpost they're different nathan picked
1:07
up the pad scanning the contents the transmissions were encrypted using standard Human Defense Coalition
1:14
protocols but buried within them were subtle variations microscopic changes in
1:19
the encoding that shouldn't exist how long has this been happening he asked
1:25
not looking up from the data we first noticed it 3 days ago but when we looked
1:30
back through archived communications we found similar patterns dating back 6 months lisa pulled up a chair and sat
1:37
down sir these variations they're not random they're a language within our
1:43
language nathan stood up and walked to the window the earth hung like a blue
1:49
jewel in the black sky peaceful and unaware of what might be coming show me the correlation with the defense grid
1:57
anomalies lisa overlaid the two data sets and the result was
2:02
undeniable the pattern of communication irregularities perfectly matched the timing of the defense grid glitches
2:08
we're being watched Nathan said quietly no more than that we're being
2:14
infiltrated a warning light flashed on his desk console the automated system
2:19
had detected unusual energy signatures near the Proxima Centtory outpost nathan
2:25
pulled up the feed and his heart nearly stopped multiple objects were decloaking
2:30
just outside the colony sensor range get me Commander Baker on the line nathan
2:36
ordered already moving toward the emergency conference room and alert all council members priority one meeting in
2:44
15 minutes the halls of Lumna Central Command buzzed with activity as personnel responded to the elevated
2:50
alert status nathan and Lisa hurried through the corridors their footsteps echoing on the metallic floor the
2:58
conference room filled quickly with council members both physical and holographic representations of those too
3:04
far to attend in person the tension in the room was palpable as Nathan shared his findings the evidence suggests we
3:12
have been compromised at a fundamental level he explained projecting the data for all to see our communications our
3:20
defense systems possibly even our command structure has been infiltrated by an unknown force counselor Mary Adams
3:27
leaned forward her hologram flickering slightly how did we miss this our
3:33
security protocols are supposed to be unbreakable because they didn't break in
3:38
Lisa explained they were already here the changes are so subtle they appear to
3:44
be part of our own systems it's like like finding out your own DNA has been
3:49
gradually rewritten the room erupted in concerned murmurss nathan raised his
3:55
hand for silence "we have a more immediate concern," he said bringing up the Proxima Century feeds "these ships
4:03
appeared 20 minutes ago they're using technology we've never seen before but
4:08
the energy signatures match the anomalies in our defense grid the room fell silent as they watched more ships
4:15
appearing their strange geometric shapes unlike anything in known space the fleet
4:21
was growing larger by the minute we need to act now Nathan continued but we can't
4:27
trust our own communications or defense systems we don't know how deep this infiltration goes commander Baker's
4:34
voice came through the speakers steady despite the situation the seventh fleet
4:39
is closest to Proxima Centtory we can have ships there in 48 hours that might
4:46
be too late Lisa interjected look at these energy readings whatever they're
4:51
planning it's happening now nathan made a decision we need to implement the
4:56
breakpoint protocol the room fell even more silent if that was possible the
5:02
breakpoint protocol was a last resort measure designed to completely reset and
5:08
rebuild all human defense coalition systems from secure backups it would temporarily leave human colonies
5:14
vulnerable but it might be their only chance to purge the infiltration the colonies will be defenseless during the
5:21
reset counselor Adams pointed out "They're already defenseless." Nath
5:26
encountered "These intruders have the keys to our house we need to change the
5:31
locks before they decide to use them the vote was quick and unanimous nathan
5:36
input his authorization code followed by the other council members emergency
5:42
alerts began sounding throughout human space as the breakpoint protocol initiated may whatever gods exist help
5:49
us if we're wrong about this Nathan muttered as he watched the first systems begin their shutdown sequence the next
5:56
few hours were chaos as colony after colony went dark their systems resetting
6:01
to secure baselines the unknown fleet at Proxima Century began moving but not
6:07
toward the colony as expected instead they scattered vanishing back into the
6:13
void of space "they know we've discovered them," Lisa said watching the
6:18
sensor feeds "this was just the beginning." Nathan nodded grimly send
6:24
word to all colonies once their systems are back online as of this moment we are
6:30
at war we just don't know with whom yet as the Earth rotated slowly in the
6:36
window behind them Nathan couldn't shake the feeling that humanity had just stepped into a conflict they hadn't even
6:42
known was brewing the real question was how long had their enemy been preparing
6:47
for this moment the war that would determine humanity's survival had begun not with a bang but with a whisper of
6:54
corrupted code and the realization that they had never been as alone in the universe as they thought major Kevin
7:01
Ross crouched in the dimly lit maintenance tunnel of the Ganymede defense station his breath steady
7:06
despite the tension coursing through his body his team of five specialists moved silently behind him each carrying
7:14
equipment designed to detect the alien tech signatures they now knew to look for movement ahead," whispered Amy
7:21
Fuller their communications expert her handheld scanner showed heat signatures
7:26
around the corner the team froze their dark combat suits blending with the
7:31
shadows the footsteps passed without incident but Kevin's instincts told him
7:37
something was wrong after 20 years in special operations he had learned to trust those instincts amy run a deep
7:45
scan on those maintenance workers he sub vocalized through their secure channel
7:50
the response came back quickly their bio signatures are off she reported subtle
7:56
differences in body temperature and movement patterns just like the others we found on Europa kevin signaled his
8:04
team forward they had been hunting these infiltrators for weeks now ever since the breakpoint protocol had exposed the
8:11
extent of alien presence in human space what they found had been disturbing
8:16
humanoid creatures using advanced technological camouflaged to pass as human the teen reached a junction in the
8:23
maintenance tunnels peter Clark their surveillance specialist plugged a device
8:28
into the station's local network "got something," he whispered "large power
8:34
draw two levels down it's being masked by the station's regular power grid but
8:39
the pattern matches what we found in the other compromised stations." Kevin made a quick decision we go down standard
8:47
infiltration pattern remember we need evidence this time not just
8:53
confirmation they descended through the station's infrastructure avoiding the main corridors where station personnel
8:59
might spot them the human council needed proof of alien infiltration to justify
9:05
their actions to the colonies that were still questioning the emergency measures the power signatures grew stronger as
9:11
they approached their target through his visor Kevin could see the energy readings spiking in patterns that no
9:18
human technology should produce they found the hidden room behind a false maintenance panel inside alien
9:25
technology pulsed with an eerie purple glow integrated seamlessly with the station's systems amy immediately began
9:33
documenting everything while Peter worked to decrypt the data flowing through the alien devices "major," Amy
9:40
called softly you need to see this these aren't just monitoring devices they're
9:45
some kind of quantum entanglement communicators they've been transmitting data back to somewhere kevin examined
9:53
the alien tech it was beautiful in its complexity yet disturbing in how easily
9:58
it had been hidden within human infrastructure peter's voice crackled through the comm decryption in progress
10:06
wait this is bigger than we thought they haven't just been watching us they've
10:11
been studying our response patterns our defense protocols everything a sudden
10:17
alarm blared through the station kevin's heart rate spiked we've been made he
10:23
said calmly pack up what we can annie get that data transmitted to Luna
10:29
Command peter set the charges we're not leaving this tech for them to recover
10:34
the team moved with practice deficiency but footsteps were already approaching from both directions in the corridor
10:41
outside these weren't the shuffling steps of maintenance workers these were the precise movements of trained
10:47
operatives alternative exit route Kevin ordered pointing to a maintenance shaft
10:52
that led to the station's outer hull it would be a risky evacuation but they had
10:58
trained for this the door to their room began to glow red as something began
11:03
cutting through from the other side ammy finished her transmission just as Peter
11:08
armed the last charge data sent major luna command confirms receipt kevin
11:15
nodded masks on hall breach in 30 seconds they sealed their combat suits
11:22
and positioned themselves near the maintenance shaft the door was nearly cut through now and Kevin could hear
11:29
strange clicking sounds from the other side definitely not human voices breach
11:34
in three 2 1 peter triggered the explosive bolts on the maintenance shaft
11:40
just as the door fell inward the vacuum of space rushed in pulling everything
11:46
toward the opening through the chaos Kevin caught a glimpse of their pursuers
11:51
humanoid figures whose appearances seemed to ripple and shift as their camouflage technology failed in the
11:57
sudden decompression the team launched themselves into space their suit
12:02
thrusters carrying them away from the station behind them the charges detonated destroying the alien tech and
12:10
sealing the breach they had created command this is Major Ross kevin
12:16
transmitted as they moved toward their hidden shuttle infiltration confirmed at Ganymede station evidence secured and
12:23
transmitted request immediate lockdown of all station personnel for screening
12:28
the response came from Lisa Bennett herself confirmed major data received
12:34
your team's findings matched similar discoveries at three other stations we've identified their pattern kevin
12:41
watched as emergency teams rushed to the section they had just left the station's defense grid was activating but he knew
12:49
it was too late the infiltrators would have already gone to ground "what's our
12:55
next move?" he asked as his team boarded their shuttle "return to Luna Command,"
13:01
Lisa replied "the council is implementing phase 2 we found their
13:06
nests now it's time to clean them out." As their shuttle accelerated away from
13:11
Ganymede Kevin watched the massive station grow smaller against the bulk of Jupiter somewhere out there hidden in
13:18
the darkness of space their real enemy was waiting the shadow war had begun and
13:24
humanity was finally starting to fight back amy spoke up from her station in the shuttle major I finished analyzing
13:32
the transmitted data these infiltrators they've been here for years maybe
13:37
decades they were waiting for something not waiting kevin corrected hers
13:43
studying the data himself preparing the question is for what the answer would
13:50
come sooner than any of them expected and it would change the course of human history forever but for now they had
13:57
their first real victory in this shadow war and with it hope that humanity might
14:02
survive what was coming the shuttle vanished into the darkness of space carrying its vital intelligence back to
14:09
Earth while behind them the lights of Ganymede station flickered like a beacon in the night a reminder that nowhere in
14:16
human space was truly safe anymore admiral Susen Martinez stood at the command center of Lunabase watching as
14:24
the massive holographic display showed the positions of the seventh fleet hundreds of ships moved in precise
14:30
formations preparing for what would be humanity's first coordinated strike against their hidden enemy status report
14:39
she commanded her voice carrying across the bustling command center lieutenant
14:44
Danielle White looked up from his console all ships report ready admiral
14:50
the new counter measures are installed and operational mary Patterson's algorithms are running at full capacity
14:57
susan nodded studying the tactical display after weeks of preparation they
15:03
were finally ready to strike back the alien infiltrators had been identified across 12 major installations and now it
15:11
was time to remove them all at once "begin Operation Lighthouse," she ordered "all ships execute on my mark."
15:19
The fleet split into three battle groups each targeting different sectors of human space they had one chance to catch
15:26
their enemy offg guard and timing was everything in her lab aboard the flagship Mary Patterson made final
15:34
adjustments to her defense algorithms the civilian scientist had created a way to detect and disrupt the
15:40
alien camouflage technology but it had never been tested in actual combat "the
15:46
systems are ready," she reported through the comm but Admiral you should know
15:52
there's a 30% chance the aliens have already adapted to our counter measures
15:57
understood Susan replied that's why we're hitting them all at once they
16:02
can't adapt if they don't have time to communicate captain John Hughes and his special operations team were already in
16:09
position near the Titan colony their job was to lead the ground assault once the fleet engaged the enemy in orbit ground
16:17
teams in position John reported we're reading multiple alien signatures inside
16:22
the colony's main complex susan took a deep breath years of military service
16:28
had taught her that no plan survived first contact with the enemy but they had planned this operation down to the
16:35
smallest detail all units execute she commanded the fleet surged forward
16:41
dropping out of faster than light travel directly above their targets the element of surprise worked at first alien ships
16:50
that had been hiding in plain sight disguised as civilian vessels or debris
16:55
suddenly revealed their true forms multiple hostile contacts daniel called
17:01
out "They're powering up weapons." The space above 12 human colonies erupted in
17:06
battle human ships fired their new weapons designed specifically to disrupt
17:12
alien cloaking technology the enemy vessels flickered and distorted their
17:17
true forms exposed for the first time ground teams move in Susan ordered take
17:23
those installations while they're exposed on Titan Jon's team breached the
17:28
colony's main complex the alien infiltrators their disguises failing
17:34
fought back with desperate intensity the corridors of the colony became a battlefield as human forces pushed
17:40
forward using Mary's detection algorithms to identify friend from foe
17:46
admiral Mary's voice came through the comm their ships are trying to adapt the
17:51
counter measures won't hold for long susan had expected this initiate phase 2
17:57
all ships switched to frequency pattern delta the battle shifted as human ships
18:03
changed tactics their weapons cycling through different frequencies to prevent the aliens from adapting it was working
18:10
but the enemy was clever they began using human ships as shields forcing the
18:16
fleet to hold their fire "they're making a break for it," Daniel reported three enemy vessels attempting to jump to FTL
18:24
"not this time," Susan said firmly activate the gravity nets hidden
18:31
satellites around each colony activated creating distortion fields that prevented faster than light travel the
18:38
trapped alien ships turned to fight their strange geometric forms twisting in ways that defied physics jon's voice
18:46
crackled through the comm main complex secured we've captured their command center and Admiral you need to see this
18:54
they were building something here the battle in space continued as ground teams across 12 colonies reported
19:01
similar findings the aliens hadn't just been infiltrating human society they had
19:07
been constructing something piece by piece right under humanity's nose send
19:12
all data to Mary Susan ordered we need to know what they were building the
19:18
scientist's gasp was audible over the comm admiral these are components for a
19:23
quantum gate much bigger than anything we've ever built they were planning to bring something through susan's blood
19:31
ran cold the infiltration the studying of human defenses it had all been
19:36
preparation for something bigger all units priority one is securing those components she commanded nothing leaves
19:44
these colonies the battle raged for hours human forces took heavy losses but
19:50
they held their ground one by one the alien ships were destroyed or captured
19:56
the infiltrators fought to the last but without their camouflage advantage they
20:01
couldn't match human military might finally after what seemed like an
20:06
eternity Daniel reported "All targets neutralized colonies secured susan
20:13
allowed herself to breathe they had won this battle but she knew this was just
20:18
the beginning get me a secure line to the council she ordered they need to
20:23
know what we found the real invasion hasn't even started yet as cleanup
20:29
operations began across 12 colonies Susan stared at the tactical display
20:34
somewhere out there beyond known space something was waiting the aliens had
20:39
been preparing for its arrival and now humanity knew it was coming how long do
20:45
we have she asked Mary who was still analyzing the captured data based on the
20:50
construction schedule I'm seeing 3 months maybe less susan straightened her
20:56
uniform then we have 3 months to prepare this was just the first strike the real
21:02
war is about to begin around her the command center buzzed with activity as
21:08
reports came in from the colonies they had struck their first real blow against the enemy but the cost had been high
21:15
susan knew that every victory from here on would be bought with blood and sacrifice the counter strike had
21:22
succeeded but it had also revealed a truth that chilled her to the bone the enemy they could see was only a small
21:28
part of what was coming humanity would need every bit of strength and ingenuity to survive what lay ahead as the
21:36
adrenaline of battle faded Susan began planning their next move they had three
21:41
months to prepare for an invasion force of unknown size and capability it wasn't
21:46
much time but it would have to be enough humanity's future depended on it the
21:51
battle near Saturn's rings was unlike anything humanity had ever seen chief
21:56
engineer Paul Baker watched from the bridge of the heavy cruiser Star Horizon as streams of enemy ships emerged from
22:03
quantum gates their bizarre geometries distorting the light of the distant sun
22:09
multiple contacts bearing 340 his tactical officer reported they're moving
22:15
through the rings using the ice debris as cover paul's modifications to the
22:20
ship sensors were being pushed to their limits the enemy vessels seemed to phase
22:25
in and out of normal space making them difficult to track new targeting
22:31
solution he ordered use the ring particles as conductors fire the
22:36
electromagnetic pulse when I give the word the star horizon moved silently
22:41
through space its weapon systems charged around them more human ships took up
22:47
defensive positions commander Laura Thompson's fleet had already engaged the first wave of alien ships near Earth's
22:53
orbital stations buying them time to prepare this trap enemy fleet closing
22:59
the tactical officer announced "They'll be in range in 30 seconds." Paul watched
23:05
the sensor readings carefully his plan would only work if they could time it perfectly the alien ships were using
23:12
Saturn's rings for cover but those same ice particles could be turned against them "now," he commanded the star
23:20
horizon released its electromagnetic pulse but instead of firing directly at the enemy the energy spread through
23:27
Saturn's rings the ice particles lit up like Christmas lights creating a web of
23:32
energy that caught the alien ships by surprise their phasing technology failed
23:38
leaving them exposed all ships open fire Paul ordered the space around Saturn
23:44
erupted in battle human ships using the new weapons developed after their counter strike engaged the trapped alien
23:52
vessels the enemy fought back with strange weapons that bent space itself
23:58
creating localized gravity distortions that threatened to tear ships apart on the other side of the solar system
24:04
Commander Laura Thommpson was fighting her own battle "the alien assault on Earth's orbital stations had been fierce
24:11
but her defense was holding barely station 4 is taking heavy damage," her
24:18
communications officer reported they're requesting immediate assistance laura
24:23
studied her tactical display the aliens were using their superior maneuverability to target the station's
24:30
weak points but they hadn't counted on humanity's newest defense "activate the
24:36
quantum shield grid," she ordered the network of satellites around Earth came
24:41
to life creating an interlocking field of quantum energy it was experimental
24:46
technology reverse engineered from captured alien tech but it was their best hope an alien ship larger than the
24:54
others broke through her defensive line its weapons fire carved through two human destroyers before they could react
25:02
laura gritted her teeth "bring us about," she commanded "all power to
25:07
forward shields we're going to ram it." Her crew responded without hesitation
25:13
the command ship turned hard its engines flaring as it accelerated toward the massive alien vessel at the last second
25:21
Laura ordered "Deploy the quantum disruptors." The two ships collided in a controlled impact and Laura's ship
25:28
released a burst of quantum energy that shattered the alien vessel's phase field
25:34
both ships took heavy damage but the alien craft was exposed its true form
25:39
visible for the first time all ships concentrate fire on that target she
25:44
ordered back at Saturn Paul's battle was reaching its climax the trap had worked
25:50
better than expected but the aliens were adapting their ships were learning to use the electromagnetic field to their
25:57
advantage turning it into a weapon they're charging something big his science officer warned energy readings
26:05
are off the charts paul made a quick decision all ships fall back to
26:11
secondary positions prepare to execute maneuver Echo7 the human fleet retreated
26:17
in an organized pattern drawing the alien ships further into Saturn's rings
26:22
the enemy followed thinking they had gained the upper hand "sir look at
26:27
this," the science officer called out "the ice particles they're resonating with the alien energy signatures." Paul
26:35
smiled that was exactly what he had hoped for all ships switched to graviton
26:41
beams target the rings themselves the human fleet fired as one their beams
26:47
striking the ice particles around the alien ships the resonance effect multiplied creating a cascade of energy
26:54
that overwhelmed the enemy's defenses alien ships began exploding as their own
26:59
energy weapons backfired near Earth Laura's forces had finally gained the
27:04
upper hand the orbital stations were damaged but intact and the enemy fleet
27:10
was in retreat don't let them escape she ordered activate the quantum anchors
27:16
keep them here the battle raged for hours more human forces fighting with
27:22
determination and newfound technology slowly pushed back the alien assault but
27:28
the cost was high dozens of ships were lost and many more severely damaged as
27:34
the fighting finally died down Hall received a priority message from Luna Command all forces be advised multiple
27:42
quantum signatures detected at the edge of the solar system something big is coming through he looked out at the
27:48
battlefield around Saturn's rings where debris from both human and alien ships drifted silently in space this had been
27:56
just the beginning the real test was still to come all surviving ships form
28:03
up he ordered we're not done yet the space war had taken an enormous toll but
28:09
humanity had proven it could stand against the alien threat as Paul's fleet
28:14
regrouped preparing for the next battle he knew that everything they had learned
28:19
every sacrifice made would be needed for what was coming the quantum signatures at the edge of the solar system grew
28:26
stronger whatever was emerging would decide the fate of humanity and they would be ready for it "the war for
28:33
Earth's survival was entering its final phase and there would be no retreat." "Paul looked at his battered but
28:39
unbeaten crew." "Battle stations," he said quietly "round two is about to
28:45
begin." Dr helen Carter stared at her laboratory readings in disbelief after
28:50
months of studying captured alien technology she had finally found their weakness the discovery wasn't in their
28:57
advanced quantum systems or their phase shifting technology it was in their
29:02
basic biology send a priority message to fleet commander Eric Matthews she
29:08
ordered her assistant tell him I found it the response came within minutes the
29:14
human fleet was gathering at the Arcturus checkpoint preparing for what everyone knew would be the final battle
29:21
the massive alien force that had emerged from the quantum gate was unlike anything they had faced before dr carter
29:29
are you certain about this eric's voice came through the comm we only have one
29:34
shot at this helen looked at her data again the aliens phase shifting ability
29:39
isn't technology it's biological they evolved it naturally
29:44
that's why they need those quantum gates for their ships but it also means they have a critical weakness she sent him
29:51
the data the alien biology required a specific quantum frequency to maintain
29:57
their phase shifting abilities disrupt that frequency and they would lose their greatest advantage catherine Helen
30:05
called to her fellow scientist is the quantum defense grid ready catherine Brooks looked up from her console where
30:12
she had been making final adjustments to the massive network of quantum satellites ready as it'll ever be but
30:20
Helen if we do this we'll be burning out every quantum device we have there won't
30:26
be a second chance there won't need to be Helen replied one way or another this
30:32
ends today at the Arcturus checkpoint Eric Matthews watched as his fleet took
30:38
position every surviving human warship had been gathered here along with the
30:43
ships of allied alien species who had joined their cause after seeing the threat these phase shifters pose to all
30:50
solid matter life forms all ships battle positions he ordered dr carter's data
30:56
has been uploaded to your targeting systems when the enemy arrives hit them with everything we've got they didn't
31:03
have to wait long space itself seemed to twist as the massive alien fleet emerged
31:09
from quantum space their ships vast geometric shapes that defied normal
31:14
physics filled the void like a swarm of metal insects my god someone whispered
31:21
on the command deck the alien fleet was larger than anything they had expected
31:26
eric stealed himself dr carter begin the sequence back in her laboratory Helen
31:32
activated the quantum defense grid every satellite and relay station in human space powered up creating a web of
31:39
quantum energy that would amplify their attack quantum grid at full power
31:45
Catherine reported ready on your mark the alien fleet moved forward their
31:50
ships beginning to phase shift in previous battles this would have made them nearly impossible to hit but not
31:57
this time all ships fire Eric commanded the human fleet released a coordinated
32:05
burst of quantum energy precisely tuned to the frequency Helen had discovered
32:10
the energy waves spread through space carried and amplified by the defense grid the effect was immediate alien
32:18
ships flickered and solidified their phase shifting ability disrupted for the
32:24
first time they were fully visible and vulnerable secondary wave now Eric
32:30
ordered the Allied fleet unleashed their full arsenal weapons fire filled space
32:35
as the aliens suddenly unable to phase shift took devastating hits but they
32:41
fought back with desperate fury their conventional weapons still deadly "grid

status?" Helen asked watching the battle through sensor feeds holding at 60%
32:52
Catherine replied "but we're burning through power cells faster than expected." The battle raged as ships
32:59
from both sides were destroyed the human fleet had the advantage now but the
33:04
alien superior numbers were taking their toll grid at 40% Catherine warned we're
33:10
losing satellites faster than predicted helen made a quick calculation divert
33:16
all power to the primary nodes we need to finish this now eric's voice came
33:22
through the comm dr carter we've detected something massive emerging from their fleet some kind of command ship
33:29
helen watched as a colossal structure appeared larger than anything they had seen before it was the source of the
33:36
phase shifting frequency the key to their entire species ability target that
33:42
ship she ordered everything we have left now the human fleet concentrated their
33:48
fire on the command ship while the defense grid channeled its remaining power into one final burst space itself
33:56
seemed to ripple as the quantum wave struck the alien command ship flickered
34:01
its phase shifting field failing completely without its protection it was
34:06
vulnerable to conventional weapons all ships final assault Eric commanded what
34:13
followed was the largest coordinated attack in human history every surviving ship fired at once their weapons
34:19
enhanced by the last energy of the quantum grid the alien command ship
34:25
massive as it was couldn't withstand the onslaught when it exploded the effect
34:30
rippled through the entire alien fleet without the command ship's quantum field
34:35
none of them could maintain their phase shifting ability they're retreating Eric
34:41
reported his voice tired but triumphant all across the system they're falling
34:46
back helen watched as the alien fleet disappeared into quantum space leaving
34:52
behind the wreckage of their defeat the quantum defense grid was burned out just
34:57
as Catherine had predicted but it had served its purpose "begin recovery operations," Eric ordered "and get me a
35:05
secure line to the council they need to know it's over in the days that followed
35:11
humanity began the process of rebuilding the captured alien technology provided
35:17
new insights into quantum physics and phase shifting leading to improved defenses against any future threats the
35:24
human council established new security protocols incorporating the lessons learned from the war and deep in space
35:32
automated beacons were placed to warn of any new quantum signatures that might herald another invasion helen stood at
35:39
her laboratory window watching Earth rotate peacefully below the price of victory had been high but humanity had
35:47
survived and grown stronger they had faced an enemy that could walk through walls and bend space itself and they had
35:54
won "ready for the briefing?" Catherine asked joining her at the window helen
36:00
nodded the council wanted a full report on their discoveries and plans were
36:05
already being made to adapt some of the alien technology for peaceful purposes
36:10
you know what she said for all their advanced evolution and technology they'd never considered that sometimes the
36:17
simplest solution is the best one the war was over but its lessons would never
36:22
be forgotten humanity had learned that their greatest strength wasn't in technology or weapons but in their
36:29
ability to adapt to think creatively and to stand united against any threat as
36:35
the sun rose over Earth's horizon Helen knew that whatever came next they would
36:40
be ready for it [Music]
