took the enemy by surprise and changed the tide of battle. Only twelve of the original sixty five ships protecting Bertha were left, and Bertha appeared to be heavily damaged. The interceptors which were guarding Earth had engaged the attacking enemy with little effect.
The interceptors from the M oon caught the enemy by surprise. The remaining interceptors from Earth and the ones from the moon flanked the invading force. The video suddenly went dark as all the lights in the cockpit went out. The displays came back after a few seconds but were much dimmer. “Our best guess is the armada was hit with an electromagnetic pulse at this point knocking out all, or most of their electronics. It’s unclear what systems went off line and what systems were still active within the craft.” Monique said. When Bertha came back into view it was disintegrating in space. The EMP had created havoc with the armada. There were thirty remaining Seker ships which were heading toward earth. “They didn’t expect the remaining interceptors to recover as fast as they did from the EMP. If anymore time had passed the enemy ships would have been able to land. There weren’t enough of them left for a proper invasion from what we could tell. From the projected trajectory they were headed for Gila National Forest in New Mexico.” Monique said.
The interceptors were closing on the remaining enemy who were now entering the atmosphere. Enemy ships were being taken out one by one. The pilot had taken out three and had unleashed another missile which was tracking a fourth. The console turned a bright pink and the video was shaking badly. He had taken a hit. The effects of the atmosphere could be clearly seen. Only fire could be seen outside of the cockpit. The fire faded and the craft was spinning and falling out of control. Moments before impact the pilot managed to recover slightly but not enough. The ground rushed up and the video went dead.
"The EMP almost disoriented the armada long enough for the Sekers to land on Earth. That was too close." Dalton said. "With their advanced technology why wouldn't they fight this battle with computers and drone fighters?" Vincent asked. "Our analysts concluded pilots were required due to the EMP knocking out all or part of the electrical components. Electronic warfare was a big part of the battle. There’s always been rumors and speculation around the agency about the pilot surviving the crash." Monique said. “Did he?” Dalton asked. “I honestly don’t know. If he did survive only a few people would know about it.” she replied.
“Mankind must explore space and settle on other worlds. We were nearly wiped out of existence after all the progress we’ve made as a species. We’ve made so many advancements and have so much future potential. Our existence is delicate and fragile. All of the discoveries, great minds, culture, and history will forever become extinct if we stay in one place. The only question is when.” Vincent said.
"Why would the Menthu sacrifice so many lives to defend Earth? The losses they suffered were easily in the thousands." Vincent asked. "That's another question we don't have an answer to. A guess is they might have designs on the planet themselves and are waiting for an unknown reason.” Monique replied. "Do we know how many of their ships survived the battle?" Dalton asked. "The video was analyzed frame by frame and it’s believed seven of the large ships survived and about twenty two of the interceptors. It’s more of an estimate then a hard number, as we don’t know how many might have been repaired in space. It was our belief the remaining ships didn't stay very long after the battle and retreated to wherever they came from. Staying wouldn't have made any sense. If the Sekers had made another incursion the Menthu didn't have the numbers left to put up much of a fight." she said. "Do you have any idea where either side came from?" Vincent asked. "We know where the
