"So when are these things supposed to arrive?" Radikov asked.
"We're not sure," Adrianne replied, glancing at the sky cautiously.
"And why here of all places? There's only fungai and basic plant life here. Trees are the top of the foodchain," Radikov said, half to himself.
"Tactical survival is probably the goal. All information we've got on them suggests they are in a hurry and don't take kindly to anyone getting in their way," Adrianne replied.
"Wait, we've encountered hostilities from them?" Radikov said, turning to Adrianne.
Adriane merely replied the look with a quiet air, she then went back to scanning the sky, taking out a pair of binoculars.
"I can see why we're bringing Grade-E level munitions, now..." Radikov said. He took something off his belt. "Speaking of which. I've got a plasma core for your blade ma'am, but it's not high-intensity. Apparently the plant life here is very easily set on fire."
"Maybe they won't like fire..." Adrianne replied, inserting the cartidge into her blade. The blade began to shimmer brightly, the plasma filling its way along the gap of the blade.
The quiet was getting aggrivating. There was no sign of any ships enterting the atmosphere.
Radikov thought for a moment, then said, "If they're coming into our territory for tactical survival, doesn't that mean something's forcing them out of their own?"
"It's difficult to tell motives until we have more information. It's better we're safe rather than sorry, but it is a possibi-"Adrianne didn't get to finish, as the air came down on both of them like a hailstorm.
"What the hell is that thing?" Radikov exclaimed, staring up at the descending object. It was a few miles off, but the force of its rapid puncture through the atmosphere had sent thousands of trees to the ground.
From the middle, going in opposite directions, two sets of twisting spikes extended outward, the bottom pair digging into the ground and causing the ground to shake violently.
"Get down! We don't want to be seen," Adrianne said, dropping behind a boulder. "Be ready for anything..."
Afterword: Okay I'll be making another post whenever possible. I once again apologize for the delay.
