South. Anyway, the authorities got wind of the attack in advance and sent UNIT in to
sort things out. There seemed to be a lot of top brass involved – the Brig, the Doctor,
and some pompous little upstart from Whitehall called Chinn. Called himself a one-man
Committee of Enquiry, but he just seemed full of his own importance to me!
Anyway, there was something very strange going on. The weather kept changing every
five minutes – one second it'd be hot and sunny, the next there'd be snow on the ground.
We didn't know what was happening or which kit we should be wearing. The sergeant just
told us to wrap up warm and be ready for anything.
I got put on guard duty with Billy Boyle. He'd been with UNIT for nearly two years but
he didn't like to talk about what he'd seen. He'd just mumble about things I wouldn't
believe and tell me not to ask too many questions, 'coz I wouldn't like his answers. So it
was a pretty quiet stretch for the first three hours we were there. The gate we were
guarding was the side entrance to the main reactor building and there wasn't going to be
any action near us, the sergeant said. He was wrong.
It started with this strange-looking orange guy walking towards us. He looked like he
ought to be a modern dancer or something. He had this weird body-suit on, all swirling
brown and orange it was – played tricks on your eyes. His hands and his face were sort of
gold-orange too, and they shone as if they were part metal. His head and face were the
strangest of all. He had these huge bulging eyes that didn't have any pupils and his hair was
like thick, curly strands of copper wire.
Billy called out a friend or foe greeting but this orange guy he just kept coming towards
us. I used my walkie-talkie to call for support while Billy approached the intruder. He was
just giving the orange guy another warning when the intruder seemed to change before
our eyes. His shape started to blur and then he wasn't a man anymore, he had turned
into some sort of XXXXXXX, as big as two men.
Now this XXXXX seemed to be made out of a swirling mass of XXXXXX with XXXXXXXXX all
of it orange and red, pulsating like it was alive. One of the XXXXXXXXX reached out and
grabbed Billy by the throat. He screamed and his body jerked around like he'd had an
electric shock. Then the XXXXXXXX flung Billy's body on the ground and started coming
towards me. I got my rifle up and shot off a full clip, but the bullets just disappeared into the
XXXXX's guts without leaving a trace.
It started reaching out towards me. I tried to run but it was like my feet were frozen to
the spot. One of the XXXXXXXXX flew towards me. There was a white flash and a
second of incredible pain, like my head was going to explode. After that, everything went
black.
I woke up two days later in a bed at UNIT's medical centre. The nurses
