Alrighty, what's happened so far is that Earth is under attack by a race known as the Kre'Iax, lead by the rather dangerous alien warlord, Zarcon.
Firefly, my main character, has been trying to stop him from what he had done to her home planet, completely obliterated it, leaving her the last survivng kind of her race.
At the moment, everyone's at the White House, pretty much figuing out what the next step to is in regards to Zarcon.
