[WP] You work at a missile control center. Every day, test codes air over the speakers, and if they don't match up your own keys, it's just a drill. One day, you and your partner are left re-checking the numbers, unable to believe your eyes. They match this time.

[WP] Earth is invaded. Uncle Sam's tanks show up to defend her... but nobody told him that Earth and all its resources had been voluntarily sold off by all other world governments in exchange for a sweet-ass paradise planet just fifty lightyears away that the aliens cannot colonize.

[WP] The sinners in Hell have slowly been acclimatizing to the pain, to the point that almost nothing actually hurts or gets to them anymore. With Hell's pain-based weapons proving less and less effective by the day, some openly discuss rebellion. The humans are getting bold.

[WP] You are an engineer. Your friends are all dead and dying. The enemy surrounds you on all sides, and the barriers will not last long. Your resources are limited, but your skill is not. Design and build, until it is done.

[WP] The Hive has exhausted the soldier's ammunition, but makes a fatal mistake by closing in on its prey. The ends of its meal's rifles now glint for some reason.

[WP] You're a sinner who went to Hell centuries ago, and you've had it. The demons here are sloppy, never rotating their sinners, and so you've managed to befriend some others who are now plotting a revolution. Today is the big day you kill your first demon captain.
