A snippet of Nihilanth's Proclamation, at the dawn of the Great Invasion:
"My children, my followers, my citizens, the time has come; the threshold has been crossed. Our home, our realm, our sanctuary, has been befouled, and tainted. The prophecies have come true: The borderworld has come to devour us all, and the Great Invasion is upon us."
The Xenian factory sat in near-silence, save for the buzzing of the teleporter, churning of lifts, and chattering of various Xenizens. One such creature, a vortigaunt, continued his tedious work of managing one of the barrels containing Alien Grunts, the backbone of the Xenian ground forces. Xonxt finished inspecting the barrel, and the conveyor moved, sending the barrel to places unknown to him. Xonxt waited in anticipation for the next barrel, but a telepathic message delivered by his controller sent him elsewhere.
Meanwhile, the humans sent a small strike team into the Nihilanth's "throne room", where a sacred Xen object was held. The HEV-clad scientists crept in, and one picked the Xen Techno-Biotic Unit, the Xenian secret weapon developed personally by Nihilanth and Xonxt, out of its' cradle. Almost immediately, combat erupted. Xen Controllers flung energy balls at the scientists, Vortigaunts jolted them with electricity. But, the scientists weren't unarmed, and returned fire with MP5's & shotguns, the booming reports echoing throughout the immense chamber.
Xonxt approached a seemingly ordinary wall, then, before his eyes, it flashed bright and disappeared, replaced with a door. It opened, revealing a cave lit with blue jet-lights. Xonxt followed the sounds of combat until he reached the battlefield. Spotting the lead scientist, he drew his hands together, green beams of electricity arcing in random directions, emanating from them. Leading the target slightly, Xonxt shoved his hands forward, and scored a direct hit. The scientist crumpled to the ground, twitching, and the XTBU clattered to the floor. It showed no signs of damage, but the scientist, however, wasn't as lucky. The chest of his HEV suit was charred, small arcs of electricity still dancing between its' plates. His eyes were wide open, a shocked(no pun intended) expression on his face, now visible through his nearly disintegrated visor.
The scientist directly behind him scooped up the unit, and in one fell swoop, sprayed a hail of bullets at Xonxt. Rounds pinged around the Vortigaunt, but he felt about 13 punch him in the chest. His breathing labored, he drew his hands together, charging another attack. The scientist sped out of the chamber. Xonxt looked up, let the energy dissipate, and was stunned to see all of his comrades, dead.

I haven't played POV, so parts of this might be altered slightly from the actual mod. Sorry to those of you who played it and are ticked off at me for doing this. Review and tell me what you think so far. All criticism welcome! :)
