Was she serious? The way she so nonchalantly told him they weren't even human almost made him wonder about her psyche. That is if he hadn't been shot at by fireballs. He took the gun, checking for the saftey while very carefully keeping his finger away from the trigger. "Alright...you can call me Gan." He said.

Gan looked at the sort of "glow" both of them had. Only they were being shot at...could this be connected? As soon as she wasn't paying attention to him Gan hoped to find out what it was, though did he had a crazy suspicion....

He leaned in closer with a keen eye watching over his crews shoulders. They were furiously typing on the ships command module. In the day that had passed on the planets sphere his race had successfully set the natives into a frenzy . So far their primitive weapons had nothing but scratched the surface of armor he and his fellow comrades wore. “I need those diagnostics before the mother ship gets here.” He said starting his usual pacing around the bridge. To his fellow crew his voice merely came off as several clicks and pauses that sounded a lot like morose code due to the true nature of his mouth. Just below the cloud cover that kept them hidden in the atmosphere, the ship could see trails of smoke left behind by the first wave of the invasion sent to weaken the planet. With a little beep of the console the information he wanted was in his grasp. With a smirk on his face, Beta gave the order “Bring the ship down to the surface.” He then walked away from his crew. It was time to investigate the native life for himself, something he enjoyed with a meticulous fashion.

As the ship obeyed his command, Beta readied himself in a special suit of armor made to fit his body since it was much smaller then the average being of his race. As the door to the ship opened Beta found himself instinctively camouflaging himself like the beings they viewed through the ships windows. He had to remind himself to get some specimens before the rest of them were destroyed. None of the soldiers had any idea how valuable their genetics could have been. Especially if their skin cells could protect them from many elements.

(( forgive me if my post is a little off, I haven’t had time to thoroughly read through all of the post just skim. ))

"Alright Gan," relinquishing the side arm she stretched out against a load bearing wall and lay on her back. "Don't worry, it'll be okay." She knew he must've been freaking out, heck, with her training she was pretty close to that point herself. But for now, she put it aside and forced her body to sleep. Closing her eyes she quickly fell into a deep rest, her mind and body clicking off like a switch had been struck.

[Feel free to do whatever, she'll wake if there's a commotion. And Poggio you're fine we can all wiggle around with time right now :)]

[Jurinjo]

It had been a few short hours. Time that went by surprisingly fast as he practiced using his new sense. Whatever was shooting at them before either lost track of their prey or enjoyed taking their time. Maybe it was the walls, the house still had power it could interfere with this sort of...energy vision? In any case Gan was about to make his way back to the woman when he saw some men converging on her. He wasn't sure but he must've made a sound since they all turned their guns on him. Freaking out Gan tried to step back behind the corner only to bump into it. A bullet streaked out the gun Gan was holding. Whether it actually hit anyone was another thing altogether as a pair of hands wrestled him right to the ground. "Ah don't kill me!"

[Fey]

Andi was already partially awake when the gun went off. In a flurry of movement she kicked the legs out from under the body closest to her and with a deft twist turned to the next one. It took only that amount of time for her to register that these were friendlies. "Stand down!" she growled as one made to approach and disarm Gan and turned to help up the poor grunt she'd already taken down. The four men slowly relaxed and lowered their weapons. Heading over to where the kid'd come up short she plucked up her gun, "Well at least you didn't shoot yourself." Turning to the head of the squad she slipped the handgun back into it's holster. "What's the status?"

"Unknown hostiles, they're pretty much taking us out slowly and methodically. Nothing seems to take them, or their ships, down. General says to report in every two hours, most of the top brass are scurrying about to save top level politicals. No word yet if we're the only location hit, but it's unlikely the strike is that small." The other Major gave in and nodded towards Gan, "Who's the civilian?"

"Gan, apparently they're after him too. No ideas yet why, but kid can see 'em coming so for now he's the best targeting equipment I've got. Don't suppose you brought in extra ordinance to deal with this?"

"No sir, but there's a National Guard base about two kliks west were you should be able to outfit and reload."

[Jurinjo]

Even though none of the answers were directed towards him it seemed the more in learned the less he seemed to know. This was serious...an alien invasion almost straight out of the movies! This was all insane and as more questions entered his mind the more he struggled just to say something. Gan had been absent mindedly staring a one of the men who's aura was similar to that woman. The one who still hadn't given him her name.

His breath became still for a moment. Now there were two of those aliens. "They're at the back door." he said with a squeak trying to be subtle about not seeing them. Though if they understood human facial expressions then they already knew.

[[I'm trying not to make you do all the work...but if I basically am please let me know]]

[Fey]

Silence dropped on the room like a baby grand, with a flash of hand signals the men and Andi spread out. One of the other soldiers moved to flank Gan, if need be he would protect him from any stray shots in a fire fight. Andi and the other Major slipped on either side of the back door and she pulled a larger caliber hand gun out. In the new silence her hissing voice seemed loud, "Aim for the head, if we can take one of these down we might be able to figure out what we're up against."

With a series of counts they slammed open the door and tried to find their targets.


[Not sure how you want to play up the other guy with 'powers' so feel free to move him as needed. And since our resident alien isn't around we can do whatever we want LOL]

[Jurinjo]

Gan was loosely surrounded as the soldiers mounted an offense while giving him a little cover from any cross fire. He moved with the group but tried to stay where it felt safest of course. Even if he could see them his aim was obviously terrible if he couldn't hit someone from across a living room.

They knew by now they'd been spotted and readied themselves for the humans. Even though they were superior they knew they were far from invincible Gan knew his job in this fight was to provide information on where the enemy was...

"There's two of them. One on the shed!" Just as he said that a ball of fire sprung into existence. One of the men sprinted forward, just barely avoiding any splash damage. "Take this you invisible bastard!" he yelled. The hail of bullets connected but the armor deflected every one of them. In a momentary frustration he released built up energy from the previous battles into one bullet. One second there was a bright pink light from the muzzle, the next its camouflage failed. Even Gan was surprised to see what it really looked like.

[[Yeah, so his power is offensive. Eventually Gan will have to develop something more.]]

[Fey]

Firing half her clip into the target Andi was about to loose her patience when the Major really let one loose. As the thing before her revealed it's true form she felt a cold sweat break out on her back. She didn't have the luxury of freaking out, that would be saved for later. "Gan, where's the other one?" She, and two others, were visually sweeping the area, hoping to not be caught unawares.

[Jurinjo]

Gan heard the woman speak but wasn't as much concerned with her question as the fact he was being lifted form the ground. "Gyaaaah!!" he screamed as he was being thrown into the air like a child's play thing. The major was finishing off the unveiled alien when he heard the boy's scream. 'What now?!' crossed his thoughts when that very person was unceremoniously dropped atop of him.

The alien creature revealed itself. It screamed in rage for its fallen comrade and the private who was guarding Gan screamed with it. His body, against his own will, lifted the gun and began firing.

The major, reacting the quickest, shoved Gan off of him to fire at the offender. Only to see the pain sticked face of Private Saunders as he fired on his friends. He push Gan back down as he tried to get himself up. The bullets went over them, but they weren't meant for them anyway. Bullets made their trip with deadly resolution towards Andi. He hesitated firing his own gun...

[[hmm maybe I'm moving too fast? Btw I just thought- what is Andi's rank anyway?]]

[Fey]

"Shit!" Andi only partially saw Gan's trip through the air; when he crashed down on the other member of the team she wasn't prepared. Turning she tried to track the new threat, but she had other worries than the civilian. She heard the sharp retort of the Private's gun and waited to feel the burning sting of the bullet ripping through her...instead she felt a faint buzz in her mind. Her mind separated and it felt as though she was watching herself in a slowed down action movie.

The shots he'd fired seemed to miss her by hairs-breath, and now angry, she moved to confront the other attacker. With a supressed shout of rage she pulled back her fist and slammed it into the torso of their attacker. A muted green glow seemed to show where her fist made contact and she could hear, as well as feel, a wet crunch. The alien made a horrific gurgling scream as she brought in her other hand in a punishing cross strike, the butt of her gun tearing away at the armor on it's face.

Why she never used her gun she wouldn't be able to say, but it just felt so much better, so much freer, to use her fists. As the creature dropped to a knee she swung in her heavily booted foot and smashed her heel into it's hip. Another dull flash of green and the sound of bones being dislocated and broken filled the air. After a few more strikes it was on the ground, not moving, and she finally felt like she was back to being herself.

Turning she looked to see if everyone was okay. "Anyone need medical?" she barked. The rest of the team shook their head, but the Private was on the ground, shaking uncontrollably. His CO dropped down and shook him.

"Saunders, get ahold of yourself!" he said as he twisted the man onto his back.

"It's...I can feel it still in my mind! Get away from me!" the smaller man shoved the hand away from him and started to fumble for his side arm. "I...I...can't fight...you need to stop me Sir!" The Major shot a look at Andi, and she knew what he was asking.

Reaching down to the prone body she hoped this would work, and with a fast and vicious twist broke the creatures neck.

[you're not going too fast, action scenes should be quick :) and I believe I made Andi a Major....will have to look at her bio....]

[Jurinjo]

[[Hmm, so Major Andi, an Major Carter?]]

Both men had their mouth agape as they watched Andi summarily kick the alien's ass...bare handed...and glowing. "Shit, what as that radiation?" Major Carter was having his reality broken a little on just what a human was capable of. Gan on the other hand took it in stride. "That was cool! And dude you shot a energized bullet at the other one!" Seeing them all looking at him brought him back down to Earth. "um...is he okay?" he asked meekly.

"He's your responsibility." Major Carter motioned from Andi to Gan as he picked up his radio and started communicating with his superiors on the situation...leaving out information of course. He didn't want to sound like a nut over the line.

[Fey]

Andi gave a short nod, of course the kid would be her's to look after, they weren't an extraction team. As she listened to the other Major relay the information she crouched down to examine the remains. Part of her was pretty horrified that she's literally just stomped it into the ground, but the rest of her was glad to find they could be stopped.

Peeling off pieces of the armor she slowly revealed the body underneath. The face, while battered badly, showed large, faceted eyes, mouth with multiple set of mandibles and no discernible nose or ears. After the medic on the group looked over the Private he crouched down on the other side and gave a toneless whistle.

"Damn, what are these things?" The two of them removed the torso armor and stared at the long, narrow chest and slender, delicate looking, arms. Nothing about the physiology showed why they had been so tough to defeat though. "I'm gonna have to take it back, let the real scientists look it over." He moved and talked to his CO whom ordered a scientific team to stand by.
