Here is the story of Embryo...

In the Mesozoic era, a space fleet approached Earth and began colonisation. First, an enormous number of micro organisms were spread into orbit to adjust the evolution of our planet to the evolution of their home planet.

Somewhere deep in the sea, at today's North Pole, huge containers of hibernated colonists, and the technology necessary for their survival, were buried. They were left to wait for millions of years, until the proper evolutionary stage was reached.

Unfortunately, humankind progressed too fast and we alarmed their sensors with our nuclear tests. Aliens were quickly de-hibernated and some 100 years later they were ready to take their planet from us, inferior natives. Their superior technology soon won the war. Survival of humanity seems highly uncertain.

But, from a small resistance base hidden in the Australia outback, a revolt is started. Just a few brave men, who will grow into the "Terra Liberation Front", which will finally change everything...
