The majesty of the Outback was about to be seriously disrupted by an alien invasion, by insect-dragon 'beings' of rather large size and sometimes humanoid comparable morphology but with a terrifying wrath and will for pure subjugation of Earth civilization, and human forces would have to unite/rally to make some kind of stand in Australia in the summer of 2022. Follow along!

A very strange alien spaceship was found parked without any inhabitant-pilots/crew inside. The ship was apparently abandoned and the invader-alien(s) sneaked out and were now somewhere in the Outback and using devastating telepathic waves to affect and infect the consciousness of Aussie-humans, and the parked derelict-craft left no clue about the intent/vulnerability of the invader(s).

Humans rallied to the spaceship site and made a big media event and even created a greeting machinery monument in the hopes that the 'visitor' aliens would witness the media-broadcast somehow and make their way to the site for a more diplomatic engagement with human civilization...but they never showed, leaving all campfires in the province of socialized wonder/cinema.

EMERGENCY_TRANSMISSION: The aliens have struck a major city in New Zealand and are still invisible, and Earth is in SOS.

ALIENS: We're playing IQ-chess with humanity for this Invasion; we require stalemate to resign to the ocean as exiles.

These aliens were extremely eerie-looking. This was something out of the pages of Purgatory or Inferno. They resembled monstrous minds from the pages out of a Satanic illustration of pure underworld morphology or adaptive existence. One might consider their annals of self-portraits, some discovered inside the parked/vacated alien-spaceship in Australia, as re-presentative of a human 'paranoia' regarding alien-life being too...distant.

AMERICAN PRESIDENT: There've been sightings in the Outback of these 'beings' of wrath; we're coordinating a valor-response!

The US forces joined with Australian governors/marshals to align a response unit called Red-Mask which would serve to pose some kind of reactive defense-posture in this experience of pure intelligence-challenge. These aliens seemed to be comic-book like in imagination boundaries, and they'd need to be engaged with some sort of dual-action weaponry, given their 'acidic' signature of pure deconstructive clawing.

A special Red-Mask soldier recalled from retirement in British Columbia, Storm-Shadow, decided to show up in the Outback by Ayers Rock as a costumed 'circus-magician' and wielded a special dual-action bladed 'classic' pistol which shot bullets that exploded into spraying hot acid streaks. He called his method the Earth-stalemate method. It was Facebook-awesome!

STORM-SHADOW: Hey, we've got the gun-chat(s) to make Earth-IQ a proportion to the 'real' distances between species now.

ESMERELDA (Western recruit): I may be gorgeous, but I've got the sniper-skills to aim right into the aliens' eyes (if visible!).

Meanwhile, as Red-Mask made 'serious' advance(s) and cut down 10 or so of the 50 discovered invader-alien 'beings' in the Aussie-Outback, 4 spaceships suddenly entered Earth-atmosphere zone(s) and required Red-Mask pilots to engage their newly-weaponized jet-fighters to shoot precisely at the pilot-command front area of the vessels to simply destabilize the steering capabilities. This was achieved but was soon discovered to be a simple decoy distraction to veil the real challenge in the Outback. This was merely a 'video-game' exercise; wow.

PAUL (Aussie-Recruit): As a captain/leader of the Red-Mask unit by Ayers Rock, I'll claim to take down aliens (male/female).

JANUS (Aussie-demolitions expert): If there's hidden vehicles in the Outback manned by those 'reptile' aliens, I'll destroy.

The hope was to defend/maintain the human integrity of Earth-borne tech/machinery for the honor of humankind. The aliens' scope/visage was simply too 'awesome' to feel challenging, but Red-Mask response units acted with required valor and heroics to create a miraculous stalemate-condition(s) 'game' theory with the insect-dragon alien invaders. The Red-Mask statement at Ayers Rock was, "We've got shuttles/parts to declare Earth landscape(s) as purely dominion...the invaders must now resign to the Earth-ocean abyss as (permanent!) isolationist-exiles without further intent of any brand of social contact/agenda...for the basic sake of planet-discretion."
