Story[]
In 1947, Cryptosporidium 136 explores Earth to collect Furon DNA found in the brain stems of Humans that his species needs to survive. He is hit by a military test rocket in Area 42, crashing to Earth in his Saucer. 136 survives but is killed later when dissected at a government base nearby. 12 years later, Cryptosporidium-137 is sent down to find his previous clone, collect the Furon DNA and bring down Majestic, who attempts to take over America.
Not realizing there are other human civilizations on Earth, Crypto terrorizes the U.S, working his way deep into Capitol City. After assassinating General Armquist, President Huffman, and the Majestic Leader, Silhouette, Crypto poses as the President and assures the nation it was in fact Communists that invaded America, not aliens.
The sequel, Destroy All Humans! 2, takes place 10 years later, in 1969.
