"Have we identified the object, Reeves?" "The research team thinks it's some kind of terraformer. The technology we've seen on that massive thing.. It's metal isn't even on the charts, sir. Some of the guys are saying it's extraterrestrial." "Th..'s bulls..t. If we were in ...ger of an alien inv.sion we'd know about it."

"Oh Jesus, what the hell is that?" "It's rising from within the subway tunnels!" "Turn the chopper around, I need to get a clear view!" "Do you want to die? We've got to get the hell out of here!" "I can't, the rotor's starting to freeze up!"
...
"It's.. some kind of machine... Oh god, it's looking this way! FLY BACK! FL-"

"Earth's under some kind of attack by an unknown alien threat, and you choose NOW to engage the Gray project?" "Sargent Reeves, calm down. These Grays are designed to eliminate without question. They will not turn cloaks. Listen son, I know it's hard to trust anything close to resembling a machine, but it's our only chance. She's our only chance. You will lead this Gray into battle, and he will awaken the final weapon." "...Sir, no disrespect, but if one of your clone toys get into a rut, don't expect me to save their emotionless asses."
[A few hours later...]
A sigh escaped Blue Dragon Overdrive, (known as BDO) as he rode down a major freeway crowded with ice and snow, his motorcycle left a blue flame in it's tire's wake, which melted the intense snow and ice off of the road. Behind him, was a few military trucks following in tow. "You sure he remembers the mission briefing? I mean, we're riding all of our hopes on this guy." "Yeah I'll make sure alright."
Static buzzed in BDO's ear, causing him to raise a hand to it in order to adjust it's range. "Can-head, do you read me?" "Yes." BDO responded dully. "Supposedly your Gray buddies are somewhere locked in the Onyx building, correct?" "Correct.""They're friendly?" "Yes, Joe Bloggs, Stranger, and Angelo Nero will cooperate. In such an event where they are influenced by the enemy, I will make sure no harm is done to you or your team."
Upon hearing the Gray's words, the sarge put a hand to his radio's microphone to block out his next few words. "At least they're submissive. God forbid giving them an actual brain." The Sargent and the soldier driving the truck closest to BDO laughed, making a mockery of BDO and his kind. "I will awaken Black Rock Shooter, even if it will cost me my life."
As the convoy rode on, the roads in which they were on began to shake like an earthquake. Up ahead of them, a humanoid robot, armed with a sword of limitless energy, crawled it's way out of the ground.
This was the main bulk of the alien invasion thus far. The humans have named this unit: 'Grunt', because of it's weak armor and basic speed of 2/4. BDO turned his bike, letting it skid sideways until it fully stopped. The convoy behind him came to a halt as well, as the enemy Grunt readied it's energy saber. "Keep going to the Onyx building, Can-head. We soldiers will handle this, and catch up to you later." BDO nodded to the vehicles behind him, revved his engine, and sped off, circling around the Grunt to the other side and continuing on.
A few minutes later, the Gray took the nearest exit off of the freeway, seeing as how he was coming up on the large, iconic building known as the Onyx. There was a blasted out entrance to the building's underground parking lot, which BDO took to gain entry into the complex.
The lot was quiet, and dark for the most part. BDO turned off his bike, the blue neon lights shutting off along with it's futurisic hum of an engine. A long compartment slid out from the bike, revealing to BDO his primary weapon; the Gunblade. He took it, and sheathed the weapon on his back holster, then proceeded to the elevator.
The rest of the Grays (AKA, your characters) were asleep on the 47th floor, nearing the top, which was the 50th. With a ding, the elevator doors opened, and BDO stepped out on the 47th floor. Why the Grays were locked up in this building was unknown to him, and the military he fought for. Nevertheless, he pushed on, his hand on the handle of his sheathed blade as he traversed the hallways. He came up to double glass doors. It was the containment chambers, where there would be several cryo tubes containing said Grays, as well as a control room just off to the corner. The room itself was a mess. Sparks would pop off of different equipment and wires off of the walls. He felt a surge of worry in him, as he made his way over to one of the tubes.
There was a small slab of glass where he could see who (or what) was inhabiting the container. It was the one called Stranger, the female Gray. Like a test subject, she would be bound in water, asleep like the rest. There was no sign of Black Rock Shooter in this building, but that wouldn't mean BDO would turn back.
He opened the console, and pressed the release button, which would awaken the Grays and free them from their prison.
[Warning, physical disturbance.]
[Liquid levels decreasing.]
[Activating defibrillators.]
Each and every Gray would receive a shock strong enough to drag them out of their slumber, and with that, the doors to each tube would open, splashing out a strange liquid along with the Grays inside.
[Wake up, your time has come.]
