It was when Jason cast a glance up that things went haywire; out of nowhere, a flying metal machine swooped in and snatched a colonist, heading up into the sky, toward...
The color in Jason's face drained when he saw what was hovering over the colony - a massive, green-and-yellow, arrowhead-shaped ship. It fired a plasma torpedo, and obliterated one of the colony windmills. "CONTACT!" Jason shouted. But it was too late - the alien ship had launched a contingent of shuttles. Shuttles completely different than the machines suddenly swarming everywhere. One of the shuttles landed nearby, and a team of humanoids in black uniforms and pointy ears started shooting anyone with a gun. Jason cursed under his breath. "It's the Tal Shiar! Everyone, get to the shuttles! Tigress, Keri, on me! We're gonna draw their fire!" Jason paused to fire on a drone going for a civilian before continuing, "Razuel, Zip, Kavin, get these people out of here!" He fired on the attacking Tal Shiar troops, getting them to shoot at him as he dove behind some crates.
