You could truncate the abilities of the synthyte into one paragraph.

If I had a nickel for every future-RPG that started by saying the year, I'd be loaded, were this the nineteenth century.

I kinda like it.

Mmmm. Synthyte horde. I like the sound of that.

Seems interesting...

The story sounds like an actual story from a book though.

You really only need the other details like what the resitance is, weapons, and the other Synthyte stuffs.
