II. Alien story:

Minions: Supreme Planet Invaders

Goals:
Your ancient programming has been reactivated. You are the Central Control 
Unit. You must coordinate the efforts of the minions to 
develop the technology of space travel and spread throughout the galaxy.
The Minions have detected transmissions from other stars. Analysis of these
transmissions indicts that have an aggressive nature. Eliminate threats to 
the source.

History:
The Minions are a species of artificial life--machines that serve the  
purposes for their extra-galactic master-species. Eons ago, the master-
species seeded the ancestor-units of the Minions on a planet chosen to 
accelerate their development programs. Their ultimate programming lay 
dormant throughout their history until reawakened by their cosmic masters. 
No one knows anything about the location of the masters or their purpose.
