Now as we all know the Old Earthers didn't wipe out the Martian invaders,nor did the Martian invaders have it all their own way.
Instead what happened was because the insectoid Martians had some powers of metamorphosis,they did after all have to go from a larval stage to
their praying mantis forms,
they sent in some of their kind into the human population disguised as humans
and since Old Earthers were weird
some Old Earthers willingly or unwillingly consented to be giant bugs.
So things had muddled along till by 1918,it was difficult to tell who was human and who was Martian.
They'd signed various peace treaties in 1918 and now was the one hundredth anniversary since the End of the War of the Worlds.
So finding these century and fourty old Mecha Men was exciting and you carefully
snuck out through that hole and headed backout the Mysterious Forest and returned to your home to tell your parents,sister brother
and great grandma.
The old Martian clacked her mandibles as she listened to your story about half naked Mecha Men.
Even after at the age of two hundred the veteran Martian Storm Trooperette still had the hots
for revealing sexy Mecha Men
