MIRANDA is both a secret project and a code word used by operatives to signal the start of a second invasion from Mars. It stands for Martian Invaders, Repel AND Attack and the order signifies two strategies. The first is to repel the current invasion and prevent the near extinction of humanity that occurred during the first invasion. The second is to send a team of volunteers on a suicide mission to Mars to destroy the Martians once and for all. The first part of the plan will be executed by using specially trained soldiers making use of captured war machines and reverse-engineered alien technology. The second part of the plan is to make use of a secretly built hydrogen accelerator cannon to fire a capsule toward Mars that contains both a strike squad and a biochemical weapon designed to wipe out all life on Mars.
