We destroyed their world, their home, their history.
The aliens’ counterstrike was as swift and sudden as it was devastating. A brilliant, searing blast of light, visible across the sky, around the world. It didn’t matter if you saw it or not, the effect was the same: Every human being forgot their name, their friends and family, where they lived and even how to speak.
A PKM Zeta protein inhibitor, that corroded and destroyed long-term memories. The effect was not instantaneous, but it was irreversible. Husbands and wives awoke as strangers. Mothers holding their babies had time for a goodbye, before wondering what this squalling thing was.
Their world is gone; it will be as though ours never was.
