[QUOTE="Lazybones, post: 5345709, member: 143"] [b]Session 30 (November 24, 2008) Chapter 139[/b] For a moment the Alphas could only stand there and watch the alien ship being loaded for its mission of destruction. This one looked even bigger than the last dreadnought that had blasted three Earth cities off the face of the planet. Catalina pressed a control on the alien panel. The view shifted and zoomed, and they saw a ramp extend out from the wall to a panel that opened in the side of the alien battleship. Even as the ramp connected to the ship rank upon rank of aliens began trudging forward. They recognized most of the aliens they’d faced thus far. Sectoids, cyberdisks, snakemen, mutons… even the mechanized forms of a dozen sectopods, they kept coming, an unbroken stream that flowed into the alien vessel. Catalina shifted the view again, and they could see another familiar sight that chilled their bones: a conveyor that was carrying the silvery orbs of fusion bombs, each powerful enough to destroy a city. “We have to stop it,” Jane said. “Where is it?” Vasily said. “Where!” he yelled, shaking Catalina’s shoulder. Catalina shrugged him off and bent over the controls. Alien symbols flashed across the control panel. “The base is huge! The hangar… it’s nowhere near here…” “There has to be a way we can stop it,” James said. “You can’t do anything from these controls?” “These controls only access secondary functions,” Catalina said, smacking the console in frustration. “Do you want to try?” “Mary?” Jane asked, as the doctor flinched, and took an involuntary step back. “What is it?” She didn’t have to respond, as the voice of the alien brain echoed again in their minds. MY CHILDREN. COME TO ME. “More aliens coming?” Hadrian asked. “How many?” Mary’s face was pale as she stared at her companions. “All of them.” [/QUOTE]
