When the Greenflies arrived on Earth, they clearly had a mission, one that seemed to have very little to do with us. To them, humanity was just one particularly troublesome animal on an unpleasant planet, and they would have preferred to just sample us and go about their work, flitting about in their living transports and plucking species from zoos and rain forests.
Unfortunately, it became clear we couldn't coexist in mutual disinterest. With each Greenfly visit, human lives were lost - casually, incidentally, with the awareness one gives to insects crushed underfoot. Greenflies began to fall as well, victims of an inanimate technology of metal and plastic that they couldn't hope to understand. What began as a biological sampling mission quickly devolved into a clash of alien cultures.
In confronting this enemy that could appear anywhere at any time with staggering firepower, the US government called upon the best they had, scientists to understand the threat and soldiers to meet the aliens across a global battlefield. Earth's greatest asset - a military unit with little more humanity than the Greenflies themselves...
