Approaching Annihilation » Places

         By the time Zach had finished his conversation with Andi, New York had been taken over. The aliens were rounding up as many humans as they could and bringing them to Times Square, Manhattan. Luckily, Andi lived around that area.
Sgt. Andi Scott, leader of Zach's Marine Battalion and also Zach's brother-in-law. Andi was allowed to keep most of his military gear, or at least he said he was.

Once Zach arrived, he quietly entered Andi's apartment, before heading over to Andi himself, who was sat by the window with binoculars, looking at the hordes of humans being rounded up like cattle.

"It's sickening," Andi said as Zach approached. "You'd think we'd be able to stop something this big, but we can't."

"We didn't even know it was coming." Zach said, still looking at the pictures of Jessica on his iPhone. "She's got to be there."

"Well," Andi replied, pulling out an M16 assault rifle that he had locked away from his military service. He was a decorated member of the U.S. Armed Forces, so he was allowed to have a weapon in emergency.
"There's only one way to find out."

Once they had made their way to Times Square itself, their military training coming in very well to stay out of sight, they pulled out each a set of binoculars and looked upon the scene. There were rows of Humans, being tended to by members of this new alien race, who were planting these devices onto their foreheads and causing them to stand up and freeze, like a mannequin in a sense. The Mothership then came alive, and they all disappeared in the blink of an eye.
