Earth

Earth Technology was no match for the might of the Federation's Advance Research Corps. Humans - those who survived, at least - preferred the term 'Invading Space Army', amid protests about being experimented upon. The Alien scientists found their quibbling about the ethics of non-consenting test subjects tedious, but admitted that the natives were best suited to help the research teams navigate this Deathworld.Vera was absolutely holding a grudge over the massacre of the facility where she worked, but you didn't survive weekly team productivity meetings without learning how to hide emotion and fake compliance. She wasn't a wildlife expert, but the Australian sense of humour bred a wealth of knowledge on how to inflict wildlife on unsuspecting foreigners...The real battle for Earth's liberation wouldn't be fought between armies, but by a scattered handful of survivours fuelled by spite and a basic knowledge of how to survive a world where everything is designed to kill you.
