## Resource

Questions and answers flew fast and furious between the once skeptical reporter and the exotic entity sitting across from him. With each new exchange, they forged a deeper understanding of our species shared history, but—fascinating though the ties that bound us may have been—it would be the revelation of the existence of a group of "others" that filled the room with dread. The reason why? These others were ancient, insidious, and brought with them the unmistakable threat of a reality bending, world shattering, extinction-level event… And what was worse? They're already here.
