Director: Kyle Grant
Plot Synopsis: Hundreds of thousands of years ago, a mysterious artifact fell from space and landed in the midst of the Ruterian jungle. No one knew exactly what it could do, if anything...
It was January of the year 2020. A large, metallic, perfectly spheroidal object had been discovered in the Ruterian jungle, not far from Uxmal. Intrigued by this discovery, scientists took a survey of the area, discovering it to be quite full with exceptionally large parrots. After the survey of the surrounding area was complete, it was arranged for some specimens of the parrots to be sent to every major scientific nation, to help in studying this new and unusual species, while the sphere was removed to Merida, the capital of Ruteria. Not long after the sphere's removal, however, all communication with the site was mysteriously cut, followed one by one soon after, by the various ships, trains, planes, and trucks transporting the parrots. All attempts at regaining communications failed. Only a couple of hours after the first plane mysteriously went out of communication, one of the missing planes, out of nowhere it seemed, crashed into the Royal Palace of Ruteria, in what was apparently an attempt to assassinate Queen Lucia. The attempt failed, however. Other mysterious aircraft crashes, truck bombs, train wrecks, and shipwrecks occured soon afterwards, nearly all of them involving one or more of the disappeared vehicles.
New Friscian detective Tommy la Fon was assigned to one of these crashes, which had occurred only a few hundred meters off the coast of the New Friscian capital, Lamare. It wasn't long before the bodies of the crew were recovered from the wreck. All of them had severe cuts that, upon examination, had not come from the crash. It was evident that they had died long before the aircraft had crashed. There was no trace of the parrots that were in the cargo bay, but this was not too surprising, as the cargo bay had been almost completely obliterated in the crash. A few days after this, the residents of Uxmal were going about their business, when suddenly, like a million colorful hornets, huge parrots flew into the city and started killing everything in sight. The police were called in, but soon they too were in retreat. After several hours, the parrots left Uxmal as mysteriously as they had come. Not too long after this, a threatening letter was found addressed to the International Assembly of the USNW, requesting "the immediate return of the Great Silver Sphere" within 48 hours, upon penalty of more attacks like the one on Uxmal. The letter was discarded. Not too long afterwards, one by one, the large cities around Uxmal were attacked by parrots, but this time, they didn't dissapear. Only then was the connection drawn between the letter, the different crashes and bombs, and the parrot attacks.
Despite the best efforts of the coalition which was fighting the parrots, by August 2022, nearly all of tropical Itzamna had been taken, barring a few of the largest cities, such as Merida, which was subjected to constant air raids by the parrots. Merida, and southern Itzamna in general, was in for what would probably be its darkest days...
