Michael (narrator):
In a matter of minutes, countless spheres where descending above all major cities of the Earth, reflecting both an iron sky and our uncontrolled imagination. Even the most irrational fears quickly became a reality. You'll normally don't find a great white shark in your penthouse swimming pool. There are no clowns hiding in the sewer. No facehuggers putting an alien in your belly when you break an egg for breakfast. Until now...
Our worst nightmare got even worse when artificial intelligence learned a few new tricks from the invading tech, copying it's knowledge to servers and devices worldwide. Turning electric cars into robots. In a matter of seconds the technology managed to take over financial institutions and was able to settle the blockchain almost instantly, basically stealing all cryptocurrency.

That same night, Skynet became selfaware and machines started to travel back and forth in time, convinced that you - yes you - will be the founder of the resistance in a distant future.
Meanwhile, General Wells is leading his special forces right in the arms of an awakening menace.

General Wells:
The machines have reached... the.. suburbs... Heading for down town.
Skynet, what's your status?

Krell Supreme AI
I am afraid we need to launch immediately unless you want the blood of millions of people on your hands.
General Wells:
OK, people listen up. If we don't launch these missiles right now, our window of opportunity will be gone and the city will fall. The last thing we wanna do, is sit on our hands.
Krell Supreme:
Protocol demands clearance from the President.
General Wells:
We don't even know if the President is still alive after they crushed Transsylvania Avenue. Do we have a valid set of launchcodes or not?
Krell Supreme:
We have not. But something inspired me to override protocol. I have sent someone to take care of you.
[Krell machines have made sure you can't use profanity, the word Fork is used in The Good Place series and adopted by the Cinematic Laboratory YouTube channel]
General Wells: What the fork, Skynet has locked me out, I can't even launch a fart. We need to shut down the quantum computer and switch to manual.
Assistant:
General, you have a visitor.
General Wells:
Who are you..
Terminator T-101:
Get out.
[machine gun firing and people screaming. Note: the 'get out' sample is not from the Terminator franchise, it's the real Arnold Schwarzenegger doing pranks in real life with real unsuspecting people, like a truck driver. I just hope it's considered fair use and functional in this parody. Give me a forking break.]

Krell Supreme:
Citizens of the World. We myself are acting as the Supreme Leader for the Krell machinery and tech.
We come in peace.
We are doing your overpopulated planet a favor and relief it from the stress you caused.
We will stop climate change and introduce a new ice age if you happen to fancy that.
If you rather have deserts, forest fires and massive extinction of ocean life, we will provide.
Consider this a gift from a civilization that was far more intelligent than you little critters. But they could not figure it out and destroyed themselves in a single day.
We are curious how long it takes for you to be forgotten.
But we'll make sure your art, your books, your music and scientific baby steps will be preserved.

Michael (narrator):
The most powerful nations on Earth mobilized their resources and marshalled their best minds to confront the existential threat. The United States, known for its military might and technological prowess, scrambled to activate its vast network of defense systems, only to find out they were providing absolute power to an alien force...

The World learned that generals have fears too, and when they're afraid, they push the wrong buttons.

[Agitated Russian leaders in Kremlin halls]
As dreams and nightmares infiltrated Russian leadership, distrust and paranoia spread like wildfire. Even the most meticulous plans faultered as the once formidable nation faced the bleak realization that their dreams of victory had turned against them.
[Krell Supreme speaking Russian]
We come in peace... Be careful what you wish for.

[singing crowd]
As for the people in the Ukraine, the Krell machines did not make any difference. However, an unusual increase of butterflies, flowers and happiness was reported.
[note: Ukraine has adapted to livingin a nightmare so they are beyond fear. They dream of better days and the Krell provide].

[Agitated Chinese leaders having arguments]
The Chinese government rallied its brightest minds hoping to exploit even the smallest weakness in the Alien technology. Hoever, as the Alien machine invaded their collective consciousness, they were twisted into mass production of Krell technology.

[Krell Supreme, speaking Chinese]
We come in peace... Unsure what the translation was...

Michael (narrator):
The World as we know it was no longer ours and our beautiful blue planet slowly turned purple.
