Breakdown!!
Day 1, 0400 hours
Day 1, 1000 hours
The invaders were a band of fierce, courageous warriors led by their fearsome chief, the Bogie-Man. They had parachuted onto the outer periphery of Ydob and had then entered through the aero-bridge. Some of their troops immediately headed for the Sound Room, while some more set to work laying charges in the aero-bridge. A third troop, led by Bogey-Man himself, headed for the
Day 1, 1900 hours
Day 1, 2315 hours
“Summon the mercenaries,” said the speaker of the High Command into his megaphone. The command would be relayed into each of the millions of tubes, alerting the entire system to the presence of intruders. The decision to call the mercenaries into action was a hard one. Ruthless and invincible, they were the result of centuries of evolutionary control. Clad all in white, they carried no weapons, for their main weapon was terror. Enemies fled at the mere sight of them, and with ample reason, for the mercenaries killed by eating their enemies. Of course, they also killed and ate everyone else they came across; hence they had to be kept on a tight leash. They were kept in suspension in times of peace, and spawned in large numbers when invasions occurred. They had never failed Ydob yet.
Day 2, 0600 hours
The battle raged fiercely all over Ydob. The invaders lay dead in their hundreds, but they had already initiated their mating mechanism, thus creating millions more of their own to fight the mercenaries. The battle was even, owing to the advantage enjoyed by the invaders of their sheer weight of numbers. Ydob reeled under the carnage of both sides. The Sound Room and aero-bridge lay in ruins.
Day 3, 0700 hours
The battle was still being fought evenly, but the invaders were still growing in numbers, courtesy some really amazing mating speeds (luckily the human race has been unable to replicate this, though not for lack of trying). The High Command decided to deploy the Heat Shield. This involved raising the temperature of Ydob to a higher level, which would cause only discomfort to the subjects, but would wipe out the invaders. This was done promptly, and the invaders were soon wiped out. The war was over.
Day 5, 1200 hours
The work of repair and reconstruction was still on. The charges laid by the invaders in the aero-bridge were still detonating at regular intervals, and this caused some discomfort. I held my kerchief up to my nose, and helped Ydob clear some of the debris from the aero-bridge. The common cold had been cleared out from my body, but some weakness from the fever still remained.
