Calling all glow heads, Your efforts have paid off! Alien HQ is finally convinced that you will able to handle the next grade of alien tech very well: abductions! This means that it's almost time to brain hack those humans and charge the tractor beam for an involuntary trip to the stars... Because nothing feels better than seeing your specimen float away into the heavens. Brain hack and abduct up to 4 humans at a time to gain Research Points. As the update nears completion this summer, a release date has been generated:   The Abduction Update will go online on August 18th!  In line with intergalactic protocols, the first of four Invasion Stages will then become available. The stages will lead up until the game’s grand finale and will be released update by update. Each Invasion Stage comes with a range of tasks for you to complete.The bad news about tasks: the required resources on Earth cannot live up to our superterrestrial standards.  The good news: Shlorp appears remarkably skilled at creating complex constructions out of food packaging, other questionable materials, and blind confidence.
