K so I'm bored and I got to thinking... If I was a super advanced alien race looking down upon Earth peasants and laughing at their pathetic excuses for "advanced technology", how would I dominate the planet and initiate an alien invasion? Well I thought along the lines of detonating EMPs across the atmospheres for maximum effect and destroying communications and vital tech needs. Then I would establish sleepers agents to turn human nations against one another, and once human nations are at war with each other I would invade with my superior forces and intellect. Divide and conquer, and once most of human civilization is subjugated, I would have multiple Verbatims infiltrate the last resisting survival groups and watch as they commit suicide from autism overload.

So how would you people invade the planet as an alien race?

Orchestrate a phoney second coming. How can someone fight you if they believe you control their soul?
