Welcome to the Initiative, folks. You've all been selected for your excellence in your varied fields, and just as importantly, for your discretion. Because what you're about to hear is Top Secret, and it is ''vital'', I repeat, ''vital'' that the wider public does not learn of our existence, let alone our purpose. The alternative would be chaos, hysteria and rampant paranoia, making our job all but impossible to do. And once the genie is out of the bottle, it ''cannot'' be put back. Now, given your backgrounds, some of you probably already suspect the truth, but for those who haven't, let me put it to you as plainly as I can. Aliens exist, and they've been visiting our world and kidnapping people for ''at least'' the last seventy years, and quite possibly for far longer than that. We don't know for sure, and I'm afraid that's something you're going to have to get real accustomed to. What we do know is this: the saucers are real, folks, and they're up to no good. We're on the front line in what could very well be a fight for the survival of the entire human race, and all the indications are that we're running out of time ''real'' fast. | Welcome to the Initiative, folks.

In 2007, they did just that. On August 15th, one of the long-range passive sensors at the mothballed Initiative base in the Swiss Alps picked up a contact and passed it on to NATO command. 23 hours later, the United States reported the loss of a spy satellite. More soon followed, and a fresh wave of UFO sightings was reported (and naturally dismissed by the by-now well trained media). The aliens had returned, and though the governments of the world ensured that the general population was none the wiser, it was clear that the aliens did not come in peace. The Initiative was reactivated, its bases reopened and new and old personnel recruited. The old timers had been proven right, and soon the long-theoretical technology they had worked on in the past also proved its worth, when Initiative fighters successfully intercepted and shot down their first saucer. The technological superiority of the aliens was still incontestable, but the gap had been narrowed. The fight was on! | In 2007, they did just that.
