The weapon advances well. The Antimatter blast it creates should be strong enough to destroy any vessel in orbit of our world, even those more advanced.
It is fitting that these creatures who came to take our resources, our precious metals, should meet their end to the very same technology they so desire.

Is it folly ? Folly that we, as a people, chose to never look up ?
Our focus has always been to our feet, to the vast riches below us, to the planet that supports our lives and our families.
Maybe, just maybe, if we had looked up to the stars, we would have been better prepared for this inevitable situation.

We are a unified people. We do not fight, we do not want for more than we have. We could not understand the motives of the visitors, not at first.
Now we know, now greed and envy have begun to infect our society. Our leaders build the weapon to selfishly keep what the aliens want to take from us.
We should have just given it.

The great creatures of the deep lakes cry out. They can feel the tension of our planet as Aela slips away, they mourn for it as if for a lost sibling. They despair, as we despair in our final hours. They will survive this, protected by the waters of our world.
We will not.
