In the year 2129 an invasion by sapient insectoid beings called Emmets has decimated humanity. They begin to farm humans for food. They set up nests in the major cities - underground. In North America the remnants of the military fought a losing battle against the swarming hordes. The only hope was for a group of warriors to stall the invasion long enough for North American Defense Alliance to rearm. Willams Warriors were successful and in 2131 NODA began Operation Scorched Emmets. All infested cities will be firebombed in an effort to rout out the underground dwelling Emmets and save what is left of humanity. Collateral damage, human deaths, are deemed unavoidable. In Amarillo, a small band of rag-tag survivors strive to save the city from both the Emmets and the coming bombs. Deep under the city they will seek to kill the Nest Gyne and all her soldiers. Then they must convince NODA not to bomb them. The mission is thought to be impossible, yet for some reason they must try. Live or die. There is no other choice.
