The incursion began smoothly. The team was all through the gateway and standing in the open space described in Denny's report. Behind them, the gateway was a pulsing black globe, offering an escape route. When Forster arrived, Clarke was already pointing the detector out over the Interloper city, or what was left of it. Many of the square, stone-built buildings were in ruins. As Forster's eyes adjusted to the weird glow from the sunless sky, he saw that in fact a swathe had been cut through the city. Forster swept the entire horizon with binoculars but saw no sign of a moving mountain.

Soul Eater, he thought. Been and gone.

“Over that way, boss,” Clarke gestured. “Strong signal.”

The techie, Forster noted, was pointing toward an intact area of the city. A mile or more of labyrinthine alleyways might lie between them and whatever was tripping the detector. Forster weighed the odds. What had been dubbed 'talismanic material' was a priority, but so was getting back alive with useful data.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained, he thought.

“Okay, people, spread out,” Forster ordered. “Stick to the plan.”

They made their way into what remained of the city. This time the commander took up a position in the center of the column. It was just as the last man in the unit was entering the alleyway that the first Interloper appeared. A pale figure, its head bowed, rushed across the path of the column. The leading guard fired reflexively. His shot missed, blasting a chunk out of the corner of a building.

“Cool it!” shouted Forster. “They can sense fear and panic. Keep a cool head and they can't–”

There was a crash, and a building collapsed into the alley, throwing up a choking cloud of dust. More shots were taken at an Interloper bounding away. The creature moved too fast, and dodged too well. The rearmost guard had been caught in the tumbling rubble. When she was pulled out, she was limping badly. Forster felt a sense of Deja vu, that an all-too-familiar situation was unfolding under the alien sky.

Classic tactic, he thought. Using improvised weapons on a more technically advanced foe.

“If that's the best they can do,” he said loudly to Clarke, “there's nothing to worry about. All we have to do is get out of this rat-run ASAP.”

He did not add that, with an injured comrade, they would take a lot longer now. He could see from the expressions of the experienced men that they did not need to be told.

And they've probably worked out, he thought, that the enemy was expecting us.

“Okay, move out!”
