The
creche
machines
that
came
to
rest
on
the
ocean
floor
began
carrying
out
their
instructions
quietly
and
methodically
.
In
the
depths
,
the
machines
chanced
upon
echinoderms
-
starfish
.
The
creche
-
produced
nanobots
penetrated
the
rigid
endoskeletons
of
the
starfish
and
began
to
multiply
in
symbiosis
with
their
hosts
.
The
resulting
creatures
fed
on
soil
.
They
ate
the
world
and
shat
out
poison
.
What
passed
through
their
bodies
was
toxic
to
life
on
Earth
,
but
suitable
for
the
people
who
had
sent
them
.
Slowly
,
the
land
where
the
creatures
fed
died
and
became
desert
.
The
seas
where
they
spread
turned
a
milky
green
.
At
first
it
was
thought
that
the
creatures
were
the
result
of
mutations
caused
by
chemical
runoff
,
or
perhaps
some
prehistoric
life
form
released
by
tectonic
activity
.
Some
scientists
insisted
it
was
a
species
of
evolved
salamander
,
though
they
had
no
evidence
to
support
their
conclusion
.
Eventually
,
these
new
creatures
formed
groups
and
began
venturing
out
of
the
water
.
They
continued
their
work
to
reshape
the
earth
with
no
regard
for
the
society
of
man
.
When
they
first
appeared
on
land
,
the
alien
xenoformers
were
not
weapons
of
war
.
They
were
sluggish
,
and
a
group
of
armed
men
could
easily
dispatch
them
.
But
like
cockroaches
that
develop
resistance
to
pesticides
,
the
alien
creatures
evolved
.
The
creche
machines
that
created
them
concluded
that
in
order
to
fulfill
their
objective
of
xenoforming
the
planet
,
they
would
have
to
remove
the
obstacles
standing
in
their
way
.
War
engulfed
the
world
.
The
damage
wrought
was
swift
and
massive
.
In
response
,
a
worldwide
United
Defense
Force
was
established
.
Mankind
had
a
name
for
the
enemy
that
had
brought
the
world
to
the
brink
of
ruin
We
called
them
Mimics
.
Rita
Vrataski
joined
U
.
S
.
Special
Forces
after
the
battle
that
earned
her
the
Thor
’
s
Medal
of
Valor
.
The
medal
,
which
bears
a
likeness
of
said
deity
brandishing
a
hammer
,
is
awarded
to
any
soldier
who
kills
ten
or
more
Mimics
in
a
single
battle
.
The
Mimics
had
emerged
as
the
only
foe
capable
of
standing
against
a
platoon
of
fifty
armed
infantry
raining
a
hail
of
bullets
.
Few
Thor
medals
needed
to
be
struck
.
The
officer
who
hung
the
gleaming
medal
around
Rita
’
s
neck
praised
her
for
joining
the
elite
ranks
of
those
who
could
claim
to
have
taken
down
a
double
handful
of
Mimics
.
Rita
was
the
first
soldier
in
history
to
receive
the
honor
on
her
second
battle
.
There
were
some
who
wondered
aloud
,
to
her
face
,
how
Rita
could
have
possibly
acquired
the
skills
needed
to
accomplish
such
a
feat
by
what
was
only
her
second
field
operation
.
Rita
answered
them
with
a
question
of
her
own
:
"
Is
cooking
dangerous
?
"
