Moving slowly through the fog, the squad of Imperial Marines kept their voices hushed while listening in on the communication from the SEC. They considered the comms for a moment, and all of them looked to each other. Seemed to them to be a local Terran force.

"This is the 2nd Marine Squad, Imperial Aschen Navy, it is you who are outnumbered and outgunned, challenge us at your own peril. Disengage if you wish to live." The message was stern, and heavily accented with a strange lilting accent. While the EM Chaff began to dissipate, the men had already moved, bobbing and weaving through the mysterious shapes in the forest.

"Switch to Antimana, give it a try, see if we can disperse these things while our enemy considers their options." The Marine said quietly as he unfastened a chrome sphere from his load bearing vest, and tossed it into the fog as hard as he could. Following a three second delay, a powerful disruptive antimana pulse fired outwards in all directions, in hopes it would disperse the creatures that were closing in on them.
