News Report-Skrull Invasion
After bringing down the communications and defensive systems of the major governments, space ships carrying Skrull soldiers and weapons appeared over major cities and began to deploy their people. It is rumored that the efficiency of their ability to side-step our defenses came from months of infiltrating the government and key international companies by replacing people with shape changing spies. This would seem ridiculous, except for previous involvements with Skrull aliens.
The fight between terrans and the Skrulls was evenly matched, if not slipping to the Skrulls, until many representatives, including different government agents, the Avengers, the Justice League and others were able to bring down the space ships or overwhelm strike team. Costs due to damage from these fights are projected into the billions, but already governments and non-profits are setting up shelters and contingency plans.
As evenly matched as the two sides were, the crucible of the battle occurred with the fight against the head of the Skrull invasion, sources are calling Queen Veranke, who had been operating under the disguise of Avenger Spider-Woman for an unknown time. It was revealed the stimulus of this plan to over-throw humanity was the annihilation of the system of planets the Skrulls are native from in a distant star system. The goal allegedly was to acquire this world as a new homeworld for their culture. It is to believed a second weapon was about to be unleashed, rumored to be a killing plague to wipe out all citizens of Earth, when Veranke was killed by an energy blast. Sources confirm the kill, and recordings of the execution are drifting around the internet.
Authorities will not release the name of the person who killed the invading queen as of now.
Once their leader was destroyed, the remaining armies broke line and have scattered, back into space. It is suspected a few stragglers still walk amongst us. Prisoners of the Skrull, hostages take to be replaced by sleeper agents, were found in a smaller jettisoned ship and are currently under serious medical scrutiny.
More to be published as it is released. The question remains through all of this: how did our governments and agencies allow this kind of infiltration, destruction and near obliteration of the Earth to happen? Who is responsible for this lax security?
