A force of Floaters quickly swarms up over the ridge. The veterans, Cyclops and Boghead, react first: two explosions of flame and ichor light up the night. The other Floaters swarm over them, but Cpl. Lambert drops them one by one from a vantage point on other side of the rift. Lambert is the star of the op, no doubt - Sgt. Gryspeerdt's been calling him "Enigma", as it's a mystery how he got so good.
After their initial attack, the enemy forces seem spent. The UFO was secured with unexpected ease, a cat and mouse exchange with the alien pilot brought to an abrupt end when it ran face first into Boghead's rifle.The UFO is in pristine condition, a stroke of luck to lighten up a difficult time. R&D are besides themselves. I can't help feeling suspicious, however.
