Survivor's Warning About Alien Conquest
David Levinson
Why are you here?
Sphere AI
When I intercepted their distress call, I knew they would come to exterminate you. I came to evacuate as many of you as possible. But you attacked me with the same weapons that they used on us.
Levinson
They attacked you?
Sphere AI
Correct. A harvester ship conquered our planet and extracted it's molten core. They used them to refuel their ships and grow their technology. They've done this to countless civilizations. We fought them for thousands of years. But they destroyed all of our ships. I, am the sole survivor.
[shows hologram of a Harvester ship and a planet]
Dr Brackish Okun
I am so sorry to hear that. Do you have a plan?
Sphere AI
My system holds the key to superior technology. And there is a hidden planet where I teach refugees from other fallen worlds how to build weapons that will defeat them once and for all.
Dr Catherine Marceaux
That's why they're afraid of you. You're the only ones who threaten their existence.
Sphere AI
Correct. But now that I'm activated, the queen will detect my signature and hunt me down.
Dikembe Umbuntu
It's too late. She's already on her way.
Thomas Whitmore
Yeah. She's coming.
Levinson
And what would happen if, if we're able to kill her?
Sphere AI
No one has ever killed a harvester queen.
Okun
That's encouraging.
Sphere AI
But as a hive, her fighters will fall and her ship will leave your planet, recalled by other harvester queens. But it's too late now. You must terminate me or she will get the coordinates to the refugee planet. And that will be the end.

Unity and Resolve in the Face of Adversity
David Levinson
I've had years to get us ready. We never had a chance.
President Whitmore
We didn't last time, either. We always knew they were coming back. But look how far we've come. In the last 20 years, this planet has been unified in a way that's unprecedented in human history. That's sacred. That's worth fighting for. We convinced an entire generation that this is a battle we could win. And they believed us. We can't let them down. It wasn't luck last time. It was our resolve. We all have to fight till our last breath. And that is going to lead us to victory.

A Father's Concern Amidst Chaos
President Thomas Whitmore
It's good to see you flying again. Your place is in the air.
Patricia
You should have let me do this. You saved the world once, Dad.
President Whitmore
I'm not saving the world, Patty. I'm saving you.
[feels his head as the Harvester mothership starts closing its underbelly aperture]
Thomas Adams
Tom, what's going on?
President Whitmore
She's in my head.
Adams
Mr President, you got incoming fighters on your six.
President Whitmore
Can you get me to the target, Lt. Whitmore?
Patricia
Yes, sir. Follow me.

Investigating the Wreckage After the Attack
General Lao Jiang
It crashed into Van de Graaff crater. We are not picking up any signs of life.
US President Elizabeth Lanford
Let's hope to God we did the right thing.
David Levinson
Madam President, we need to send a team up to investigate the wreckage. We need to know who we just shot down.
Reese Tanner
There's no sign of life and the threat has been neutralized. We can send a team up, but David needs to be in DC.
[to Lanford]
Levinson
No, oh. Can we not make this political. I need to get up there and get answers.
Lanford
David, you can lead a team up there, but after the celebration.

Unity and Resilience After the War
US President Elizabeth Lanford
The countless lives that we lost in the war of 96 did not perish in vain. They inspired us to rise from the ashes as one people of one world. For 20 years the world has seen no armed conflict. Nations have put their petty differences aside. United, we rebuild our families, our cities, and our lives. The fusion of human and alien technology not only enable us to defy gravity and travel with unimaginable speed, it also made our planet finally safe again.

Desperation Amidst an Imminent Catastrophe
Assistant
What are you idiots doing?
Team Member 1
The world's going to an end.
Team Leader
Even worse, we lost the gold. So we thought we drink a little!
Assistant
US government is on the line. They say the aliens are drilling to the Earth's core and they are looking for a ship in the area to monitor their progress. We're the only ones left.
Team Leader
Tell them we'll do it - for a hundred million dollars.
[the gang laughs]
Assistant
Yeah, hold on a second. He's drunk. They say it's a deal.
