The wall dissipate into a cloud of dust and fell in among itself. The paint smoked as it was burned black.

"A violent species," Adem Different said as he observed the chaos. Armed men poured in through the hole. Guns spit fire and lead as the din of battle grew louder still. "And noisy."

A Strikeforce soldier leveled his gun at the alien visitor. Adem instinctively leapt into the air to avoid the hail of bullets. His head knocked against the chandelier and threw him off balance. His body landed with a thud onto the marble floor.

{Important notice. Earth gravity is one third lighter than what you are used to. Please compensate accordingly.}

"Could you at least try and tell me things before hand?" He struggled to his feet. More armed men were coming towards him. "I guess now would be a good time for some riot gear." The light flowed down his body again. The business suit was now replaced with a light but durable armor. A helmet covered his head and a small shield sat on his left wrist.

Bullets ricocheted off of him as he ran past the soldiers. His shield would occasionally reach out to knock someone out of his way. Adem carefully jumped over the debris that laid across the floor in front of him as he made his escape.

His legs pumped furiously as he headed towards the open double doors that led out of the room. The speed at which he traveled was great. The reduced gravity allowed him better mobility. Adem’s body gave it his all as...... his head struck the top of the doorway. Though his head stopped its forward movement, the rest of his body didn’t. The alien’s legs kept moving and caused a great imbalance that led to another collision with the floor.

“A very violent and short species,” he mumbled before pulling himself back up to his feet.

Adem began to run again. He made a note to keep his head down as he came to doors. The soldiers chased him unrelentingly. Before long, he found himself in a garage type area. Different threw himself into the first thing that he could see to hide himself.

{What is this?} Jym asked as he attempted an uplink.

“Some kind of vehicle, I suppose,” Adem answered without really knowing. “Hold on. I’ll find out.” He placed his hands on the console in front of him. The nanites probed the electronic and mechanical systems. “Yes, it’s a vehicle. A combat vehicle of some sort.” The engine roared to life. “Now let’s see just what it can do.”
