When They arrived, it seemed obvious that we needed to study not only their technology, but their biology as well. They were cooperative, and a half-dozen deep black government-sponsored projects were instantly erected around the goal of learning as much as possible from the volunteers from among Them who had opted to stay. Progress was made on all fronts, but it wasn't until the startling discovery last year that we realised the chilling truth.
Their technology and their biology aren't separate things: The little machines They use constantly in daily life aren't accessories - they're part of Them. And much of what we had mistaken for natural was actually highly engineered.
Including Their minds. Including Their thoughts...
It started slowly at first.
A few of the scientists working most closely with Them started behaving oddly. It was assumed that the strain of making the mental adjustment to comprehend what they were learning was having its impact.
And then it was noticed that some of the people working in these facilities were also acting strangely...even though they weren't even highly enough cleared to know They were here, let alone living on the compound.
But really, it wasn't until after Thanksgiving that we realised the horror that had been unwittingly unleashed:
Families started to change as their members' minds started to crumble under the onslaught of self-replicating, engineered thoughts.
Children were most vulnerable of course, and the most dangerous:
School.
Now we know the risk, but is it too late?
