I remember the last fall when the first leaves fell from the trees. Actually, it was like every other year but it felt very different.

The sky darkened as if a storm would rise. In hindsight, I wish there had been a thunderstorm.

However, it was an unknown spaceship which appeared in the skies.

They came down on us like a plague of locusts. First it was just a single ship, then an entire armada.

They called themselves Kukamia. A reptile-like humanoid race which constantly sought for perfection through mutation and genetic experiments.

Their greed and their hunger was surpassed only by their infinite claim to power.

They were not unknown to us. A year earlier they raided some of our outposts on other planets.

They left no survivors. Only the monitoring systems could tell us what had happened.

But I had never expected they would attack our home planet, Adora.

Their technology was decades, if not, centuries behind ours but it was almost impossible to defend our cities for a long time against them.

While we initially only had small losses and reconquered almost any city, the time came when the Kukamia fought back with a mighty army.

For each Kukamia which had been killed by us another hundred were waiting to take its place.

First the battles lasted only a few days but the days turned into weeks, weeks into months and months into years until finally the Supreme Council decided to abandon the planet, our home.

"We can't win", they argued.

So we gathered supplies and reconstructed our fleet so that the civil population could live on the ships for several years.

It was a black day for each Lupain when the evacuation was completed but it should get even worse.

We had to watch, powerless, as a decision was carried out which none of us would ever have agreed to.

Since the entire Kukamia armada and all known Kukamia were on Adora the Supreme Council came to the conclusion that Adora should be finally liberated from the Kukamia.

All Lupains remaining on the planet were already as good as dead and if the Kukamia couldn't find any more animals on Adora, the remaining Lupains would be the only thing left to eat

To spare them this cruel fate the Supreme Council decided to wipe out all remaining life with some kind of weapon on the planet. Recolonising the planet wouldn't be a problem with the collected plant seeds in the long run.

Therefore, we had to watch as a huge energy beam extinguished all life on Adora.

The energy was so powerful that it not only destroyed the planets' surface as planned but even penetrated the core. The planet was thus completely destroyed.

We sacrificed our families to defeat the Kukamia. In the end we hadn't gained anything from our victory.

Homeless and in vain we searched for a new planet in our direct vicinity but we found no planet which was habitable for us.

The supreme Council of our society decided that our fleet should be split up in the universe until we find a planet that would be suitable.

On the way to a new world our communication system was heavily damaged by an asteroid.

We had no way to repair the damage quickly as a repair would have cost us months of our time.

During the speech of our Council about the delay and food rationing one of our probes reported its status.

We could see images of a nearby planet. It was ten times larger than Adora and consisted of approximately seventy percent water.

We quickly realized that this planet couldn't be uninhabited since several satellites were orbiting it.

At first, our Council said that we should ignore this planet.

We were too proud and honorable. We shouldn't plead to an alien species to help us.

But our food was sabotaged. Some sort of mold spread through the ship and half of our stock was affected.

Because of the lack of food and water diseases spread.

We contacted the alien species that referred to itself as human.

As our Council landed on the planet in a big city, humans greeted us like heroes.

Everywhere these humans were on the streets and solemnized us.

With their cameras and smartphones they took pictures of us. We could see welcome signs "Aliens welcome" with many hearts on them.

We were overjoyed to meet such a friendly and helpful species.

13.01.2040

Two years have now passed since we landed on Earth.

Since three months there is a program which thirty voluntary Lupains in the US took part in.

They should learn as much information about the human history and culture as possible at universities.

Also this program should enable our two species to learn from each other.

28.01.2041

The United States demanded we share our technologies with them.

But the participants of the program warned us that humanity had already led many wars.

We couldn't refer to the humans as a peaceful species anymore. We refused.

29.03.2041

We refused to share our technologies.

The United States request that we disappear.

But we can't go along with their claims.

We are still working on repairing our communication system.

In addition, we are waiting for a signal from the rest of the fleet to move to a new uninhabited planet.

11.05.2041

The US fears an invasion, thus the United States Air Force attacked our ship.

Although our hunters could destroy the Air Force, the price was high.

Over one hundred Lupains died in this attack. Our ship was severely damaged.

The communication system had been completely destroyed.

12.05.2041

Our entire soldiers and hunters lead a counter strike.

After the attack, many volunteers reported for military service.

14.09.2041

After heavy skirmishes we could conquer the city of Washington and the entire airspace.

20.09.2041

The Air Force retaliated and destroyed Washington.

Hundreds of soldiers and thousands of civilians died in the attack.

In the human media we are blamed for the attack.

Except for the White House, the entire city is in ruins.

The US Army sends thousands of ground forces.

30.09.2041

We sent all our heavily armored units to Washington and reclaimed the city.

We discovered mass graves as we looked around for the President and the Vice President.

Hundreds of Lupains and civilians were shot there.

03.10.2041

We stormed the White House and searched for the President of the United States.

The surviving civilians helped us in the search.

We finally found a bunker where he is supposed to stay.

Then we opened the bunker under the White House but found no one in there.

We got the tip that the president and vice president are trying to escape unnoticed as civilians.

12.10.2041

We successfully arrested the President, the vice president and some high-ranking military officials of the United States.

The US Army has ceased all hostilities.

20.10.2041

All Lupains which participated in the program have disappeared without a trace.

30.04.2042

All Lupains that participated in the program were declared dead by a council member.

Although there were no bodies, the search has been stopped completely.
