The Sand Processing Facility Question
He has various pictures of a sand processing facility out in the Nevada desert, just outside of a small town named Sloan. The facility is heavily guarded. Large barbed wire fences surround the facility. Towering stands of lights as well as towers holding heavily armed soldiers. The scientist has pictures tracking trucks hauling tons of sand into the facility.
Along with the pictures, are copious notes. Much of these are punctuated with large questions written over them, such as: "Why sand?", "Why so much security?", "Why only a few select government officials have been allowed inside facilities?", "Why do they look human!?"
He has papers marking the steep decline of science education in many of the countries around the world. He has detailed notes of the anatomy of the Visitors as well as possible explanations for why the Visitors are rarely seen without large wrap around sunglasses.
The Penthouse Suite Life
After sometime the group disperses through the penthouse suite. Victois heads off to the kitchen to prepare for the group her signature gourmet meal. Kyoko strips down and jumps into the pool overlooking the night sky of Las Vegas. Alexi, seeing this heads over to the pool to take in the sights. Alessandra, ever the cautious one, moves to the sunken living room, and find a secure corner to sit in.
It is not long before Kyoko and Alexi hear a high pitched whine, buzz and crack as a bullet hits Alexi and blood begins to swirl around him in the pool. Bullet after bullet buzz near them coming from somewhere out in the night sky. Meanwhile inside the penthouse three large males wearing wraparound sunglasses enter the room guns pointed out. Two of them encounter Alessandra who dives for cover. The third attacks Victois in the kitchen.
Victois retreats to the bedroom, slamming the door closed behind her. Grabbing her sniper rifle she waits for the door to open. It doesn't. Instead a shotgun blast bursts through the door and into Victois. Wherever Victois moves to it seems her attacker can see, even through the walls.
Kyoko and Alexi are pinned down behind a stone top table they have toppled over but the intruders from within the suite are able to hit them from behind. Alessandra goes on the offensive and attacks. Alexi is able to run and grab his automatic weapon and is soon able to kill some of the intruders. Kyoko is able to dive for cover and pulls out her drone. Activating it, she controls it with her phone and flies it closer closer to where she see flashes of gunfire. It is coming from a high window in a neighboring hotel.
The Eyes Are Discovered
After moving through the suite, Alexi is able to aid Victois in killing her attacker and the suite is quiet again. The living room area is covered in shattered glass and wood splinters and now has a few walls blood splattered with dead intruders at the floor. The search the bodies and find radios and security badges. One of them has a device that when held up to a wall shows a detailed image of what is on the other side, which is how he was able to attack Victois so effectively. They remove their wrap around sunglasses to find their yellow eyes have vertical pupils.Listening to the radios they here a very alien language that no one can decipher. Alexi tries to communicate to the other party but cannot understand anything. The conversation quickly ends.
Victois with Kyoko's aid is able to scope in where the sniper fire is coming from but is unable to hit anything. Soon the firing stops and as Victois scopes around he sees two figures dressed similarly to their attackers in the penthouse suite, exiting the hotel and driving away in a white windowless van.
They sit down and let Zora attend their wounds.
They contact General Tate and inform him of what just happened. He offers to send a clean up crew. The group also demands various equipment when the clean up crew arrives.
They're pretty sure they have just made an enemy somehow.
