Tanner, groaning, looked around. He saw the three aliens that Stephan had mentioned moving towards him. They were getting closer, but they weren't firing. One of them moved close to him, within arm's reach, and was simply staring. Tanner felt too weak to pull the trigger on his weapon. The alien inched closer, eyes blinking, hand reaching out to what it assumed to be a corpse. Tanner could see a purple glow around its head.

They ain't gonna get us, Tanner thought.

Nay, we must fight on!, the Knight responded.

Tanner reached out his right hand and clamped it around the alien's wrist, causing it to squeal in pain. The other two raised their weapons, ready to fire, but Tanner held up something in his other hand.

A grenade.

With the pin off.

Tanner chuckled.

"Looks like this is a stalemate, boys," he said, coughing slightly and seeing blood on the ground, "You're all out of options." Tanner was holding the grenade's lever in place so that it wouldn't explode, but with his strength, he couldn't know how long he'd be able to hold it. The three aliens stared at him, blinking every so often, without paying attention to their surroundings.
