Alien Apocalypse

Dr. Hood returns to Earth after a 40-year mission. He and companion Kelly are swiftly captured by human bounty hunters after re-entry near the ruins of Portland. The peaceful homecoming quickly gives way to a brutal post-invasion reality.

Captured prisoners are forced into a brutal labor camp run by giant termite-like aliens who arrived two decades earlier. A team member is killed after suffering what looks like a sprain, a death the humans explain as punishment. Hood notes that such an injury would have healed in a few days, underscoring the cruelty and control exerted by the occupiers.

Inside the camp, Hood and Kelly observe how illiterate and savage the human guards and slaves have become under alien influence. The captives suffer under harsh discipline, creating a climate of fear and desperation. Rumors circulate that the President managed to survive the invasion and is organizing a resistance from a hidden base. Those rumors kindle a spark of hope that motivates the escape plan.

They decide to attempt an escape the next day, hoping to trigger a larger uprising. The plan relies on surprising the guards and severing some control over the camp's machinery and communications. The calm before the attempt gives Hood and Kelly a moment to steel themselves for what could be a dangerous turning point.

Their escape succeeds in part, but Kelly is recaptured, forcing Hood to push on alone. He slips away through the camp's devastated outskirts, evading patrols and gathering any information he can. The setback deepens his resolve to find the President and mount a real counterattack.

Hood travels across the wrecked landscape toward a rumored secret headquarters where the President's remnants might be found. Along the way he encounters other resilient humans who refuse to abandon hope. These encounters strengthen his resolve and broaden his understanding of the resistance's potential. He reaches the route toward the hidden base, stepping into a larger conflict.

They reach a secret headquarters that preserves remnants of the old American government. There, Hood and Kelly discover the President, a shell of his former self, living under the new harsh reality. This discovery both shocks Hood and ignites a renewed purpose to rally the oppressed.

Motivated by the President's murmured support and the escaped slaves' potential, Hood pledges to organize a broader assault. He begins gathering a coalition of liberated humans and sympathetic holdouts from other camps. The plan pivots from mere survival to an intentional, wide-ranging offensive.

Kelly endures punishment for attempting to escape, losing one of her fingers in the process. Despite the injury, she continues to fight alongside Hood's growing coalition. Her resilience becomes a symbol of the resistance's stubborn tenacity.

The combined force launches a bold attack on the alien camp, bracing for heavy artillery and brutal countermeasures. The aliens unleash their siege weapons, testing the rebels' resolve. A surprise arrival from the President's faction turns the tide by destroying the aliens' tanks. The offensive signals a new phase of the resistance.

The enslaved survivors rally to the cause, seizing opportunities as the assault unfolds. They join the assault with renewed courage and help overwhelm the alien defenders. The invaders are driven from the camp, breaking the immediate hold on the region.

With the threat pushed back, Hood and the remaining rebels set their sights on a broader mission: eradicate the insect-like invaders and expand the resistance beyond the initial camps. They plan to recruit more followers from other holds and establish a coordinated network. The movement's momentum grows as more people join the cause.

Hood's leadership earns him a formidable reputation among liberated communities. In time, he becomes known as The Great Exterminator, a symbol of relentless resistance. The title reflects both fear and hope for a future free of alien domination.

The resistance movement continues to spread across the region, targeting other alien positions and freeing additional captives. Hood and the President's faction work to consolidate gains and coordinate new offensives. The campaign expands beyond a single camp toward an ongoing war of liberation.
