Consider our universe if you will. Billions upon billions of stars-pinpoints of light in the night. Add the planets and moons spinning around the massive suns since the beginning of time. With the amount of stars in our galaxy, the number of inhabitable planets by our standards is less; add any kind of intelligent life and the number is still less. Abstract thoughts like this, limits our knowledge to just speculation. What if those few planets could support advanced life forms, and they decided to gather sentient species from other worlds? This act of taking is against their will. Those selected had nothing special about them-just average people. Not soldiers, warriors or those capable of surviving. Stranded on what they believe is just another desolate place on earth. They will find out soon enough; they are not on earth, Kansas or any other place where humans rule.
