Tired of stories about Martian invasions?

Well, by God, here's a brand new one I recently "thunk up".

Invaders OF Mars - A new kind of Martian Tale!<— link



Here's a new idea for a "Martian invasion story" that just popped into my head"
______________________________________________

Earth scientists suddenly loose contact with the three rovers still active on Mars (two from America and one from China), and also with the eight U.S. probes still active in Mars' orbit.

The fact that all eleven of these data-gathering devices suddenly cease transmitting cannot be explained. The global scientific community becomes frantic to find the solution to this mystery.

And so, the eight space telescopes employed by several agencies from different counties are all trained on Mars.

The images they provided are shocking!

The images reveal drastic changes in both the Martian atmosphere and its surface! In addition to this, dozens of spacecraft are observed as they arrive from space and depart from the planet.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out what's going on. Aliens from an advanced civilization aren't just colonizing Mars, they're terraforming it with amazing speed! The atmosphere is being enriched, and the surface is acquiring billions of gallons of liguid water.





Artificial structures are appearing on the surface — structures so large they would be visible from Mars orbit! On Earth, none of the things mankind has built are large enough to be visible from space except the Great Wall of China.

After observing this stunning phenomenon for several weeks, the world's scientists finally manage to agree that Earth should attempt to communicate with these alien visitors to the solar system. The delay in making this attempt is caused by the fact that no one can explain why THEY haven't contacted US!

The obvious fact that these aliens are far more advanced than mankind terrifies the human race. And so there are strong objections to any attempt to contact these god-like beings who have transformed a dead world like Mars into an Earth-like world in a matter of weeks.

But finally our fears are overwhelmed by our curiosity. We muster the courage to transmit a message to the New Martians, a message that welcomes them to the solar system.

However, the answer we get is not the one we hoped for.

The new citizens of the Red Planet inform us that when they've completed their transformation of Mars into the kind of world they need, they will then turn their attention to Earth!

Our world is already perfectly suited to their needs . . . with the exception of the damage already done by the self-destructive life form who currently inhabited it. Humans.

Earth's dominate life form has already damaged the planet so thoroughly that both they and the world they ihhabit will be ruined in less than a century!

The news that Mars has become the home of aliens who will soon invade Earth throws the human race into a blind panic. Governments crumble, economies collapse, and world order vanishes overnight.

It becomes obvious to the people on Earth who still remain rational that the Martian invaders will have no problem eradicating mankind from our planet and moving in as Earth's new citizens.

The sad fact is that mankind began to destroy itself long ago with our internal conflicts and our complete disregard for our ecosystem.

In the conclusion of this grim story, Earth becomes the new home of intelligent beings much more worthy to survive and be the new residence of Earth.
