We, the people of Earth, are united as never before. There can be no simple path forward. The force behind the invasion has overwhelming technological superiority. But we are an unusual people, practiced in the art of war. Humanity even holds a few technological advantages of our own. One such advantage is a special forces team with the squad name, Shockwave. Their capabilities will definitely give the enemy pause. Meet the team. Viz and Para are the sister heroes of the invasion. Rock and Roll are twin brothers you definitely want on your side. Mr. T is the mostly mature leader of the bunch. Thereโ€™s Muncle, one very smart monkey. And Communal is the Artificial Intelligence who always keeps a data node on the team.
