WE COME IN PEACE

(A civilization opens its arms to alien refugees, only to learn too late that peace was never their purpose, and compassion became humanity’s extinction)

It was raining the day they arrived...

The Vaelorians descended on Columbus, Ohio, in 2030, silent, graceful, promising peace. They called themselves refugees from a dying world, humble seekers of sanctuary. The skies glowed green that night as their ships pulsed like living hearts above the city. The world celebrated. Humanity, divided, weary, desperate for purpose, believed salvation had come.

Dr. Sarah Coleman, a university sociologist, led the chorus of compassion. She wrote essays, organized rallies, told the world that coexistence was humanity’s moral duty. Others disagreed. Former Marine Jake Johnston saw the cracks—the Vaelorians’ strange aversion to dogs, their insistence on “modesty,” their talk of purifying fasts and hive living. To him, they were not refugees. They were reconnaissance.

As the years passed, the world split between those who worshipped and those who warned. The Vaelorians built enclaves of organic architecture that breathed and hummed. They taught “better ways”, blood oaths instead of contracts, silence instead of song. And while humanity debated the shape of its virtue, the Vaelorians prepared the shape of its extinction.

By the time the “Day of Unity” dawned, it was already over. The world had surrendered willingly.

Through the recovered writings of Dr. Sarah Coleman, part diary, part confession, part autopsy of civilization, We Come in Peace unfolds as a slow-burn descent from idealism to annihilation. It is a study of how good intentions rot, how empathy can be weaponized, and how humanity was not conquered by force, but by its own faith in progress.

They said they came in peace.

They never lied.
