Backstory of Our Game

The back story for our game:
First Wave takes place on Earth 100 years in the future as was stated in our earlier High Concept. A large asteroid has been stuck in earth’s orbit for the past few months. The people of Earth began to contract a strange illness around the time of the asteroids' appearance. Scientists from all around the world began to take shuttles up to the asteroid to see if there was some connection between the plague and the asteroid. The scientists soon discovered a massive plant life form on the asteroid’s surface. As the scientists began to run tests on the plant it emitted a massive wave of spores as a defense mechanism. It was not long before the spores radiating from the plant reached Earth’s surface causing all kinds of plant and animal life to become intensely violent as well as grow in size.
The strangest thing of all was that many animals began to migrate to the highest points in their respective continents. The plant life in these areas also multiplied tenfold, which is not normal in high altitude environments. One day, the citizens of earth awoke to find that a massive vine had sprouted from the asteroid and anchored itself to the peak of Mt. Everest. The number of humans who were infected with the spore plague increased in the coming weeks, and communication with the science teams on the asteroid were disrupted. The governments of earth decided that it was finally time to take action against the massive plant and attempt to sever the vine that was pulling the asteroid closer to earth.
The first attempt to sever destroy the massive vine was quickly thwarted by the massive army of plants and animals who gathered to protect it. The air strike that was organized also failed as massive hoards of birds threw themselves into the engines of the planes. In a last ditch effort to destroy the vine, the governments of earth decided to launch a massive ground force to climb to the top of Mt. Everest and plant bombs on it. Our game begins as the ground forces prepare to make the long journey up the mountain to confront the enemy.
