As far as invasions go, the conquest of Earth was a quick one. No one could call it a war, since in a
war the losing side has a chance to win, even if the chance is extremely slight. That was not the case here.
We didn't have a shot in Hell at repelling our new overlords. When the alien mother ship was spotted, NASA
tried to communicate with it but received no response. Once it entered our atmosphere the combined
governments of the world authorized the use of deadly force. Every country that had nuclear capabilities
launched the majority of their armaments and those that did not used lesser types of missiles. It was a
wondrous sight to see all of humanity working in accord for the first time in history but sadly our efforts
had about as much of an effect as an ant pissing on an elephant. Right before impact, every missile, rocket
and other explosive devices(including bullets) winked out of existence, both those that were shot at the
mother ship and all the others around the globe. In that very instance humanity was rendered defenseless. To
prove their complete dominance, the aliens then transformed every government official on the planet into
either an animal or a harmless object. It didn't matter if a person was a President, city councilman or
tribal chieftain, if the person was a political, military or cultural leader then he or she was transformed.
With no one left to lead them, people begin to panic and the world was thrown into turmoil. Then the
transmission came.
All around the world, the message was the same and in the language of the people native to that area. It
came from every device that had a speaker. It didn't matter what the device was or whether it was even
plugged in, if it had a speaker then it broadcasted the message. If an area had no electronic devices then
the transmission came from the rocks and the trees. Everybody heard the message and when they did they knew
that their lives would be forever changed and no longer their own. It lasted over an hour and is too long for
me to transcribe here so I will summarize.
While their true name cannot be understood by human ears, the aliens called themselves "The Jaded". They
are near immortal with each one living for more than fifty thousand earth years. While incorporeal in their
natural form, they can assume the guise of any living creature they come into contact with or even imagine.
They can manipulate matter of any type, whether organic or inorganic, and transform anything with simply a
thought. Their technology is more advanced than anything ever thought of on Earth, even in science-fiction.
The one technology they do not possess is faster than light travel, which wasn't a great hindrance since the
437 earth year trip from their home planet to ours was a short amount of time compared to their long lifespan.
Almost like us taking a few day drive to get to Disneyland, which this was very much like for them.
Originally they did not set out to conquer humanity but rather to meet us as equals. They had been
monitoring our planet from afar for millenniums but it wasn't until the renaissance that we piqued their
interest. The creativity and new ideas that humanity had was a treasure to be sought out by a race of beings
that had seen and done almost everything. They had planned to offer their gifts of technology and natural
ability of transformation in exchange for us using our creativity and ingenuity to entertain them. Living a
near immortal life can be a tedious and boring existence and anything that is fresh, new and exciting is a
worthwhile prize that they would pay dearly for. Sadly for us, near the end of their long journey(about 30
years ago) they discovered that humanity had reached its peak and our combined creativity was waning. Old
ideas were being regurgitated in our entertainment mediums and an original concept was a ghost of yesteryear.
We no longer had anything of real value to them. However, they had already made the trip and decided to make
the best of things. While our minds were no longer of value to them, our bodies could be used to act out
various carnal activities that they had pulled from our minds throughout the years. And thus, we became The
Jaded's playthings.
The Earth was divided evenly between the 144,000 aliens aboard the mother ship. Each one became an Overseer
of a province and invisible barriers were set between provinces so that no human may pass between lands
without permission from his or her Overseer. Each province usually had one or more small towns or even large
cities of humans for the Overseer to play with. Each Overseer could set special rules for his(The Jaded have
only one gender but may assume either one when in human form) citizens to follow but otherwise they desire
that we go about our normal lives. There is one rule that is universal in all the provinces though. Since
The Jaded evolved without having bodies, the concept of clothing is new to them and something that they like
to indulge in. In human form they always wear the most spectacular outfits. Since people are beneath them
they are not allowed the privilege of wearing clothes and must always be naked. The exception to this is the
few humans that are special to the Overseer. They may be given permission to wear outfits that the Overseer
picks for them. However, with the aliens's taste in clothing for their slaves, it is usually better to be
naked. Each Overseer has a special area of interest or fetish, if you will, and will change his citizens
along the lines of that fetish. However, The Jaded see childhood as a sacred time and will not transform or
play with a human before his or her 16th birthday(the onset of adulthood is different for them)
It has been 5 years now since the aliens took over and life has returned to normal. People have gone back to
living their regular lives. Most people don't even notice that The Jaded are there, since they usually pick a
select few to play with and leave the rest of the citizens of their province alone. But for those select few,
life can be hell. We are about to follow the story of one of them.
