One explosion, two more dead aliens, and if anyone could have seen the nearly human look of shock and horror as the grenade landed between the two of them.   They both tried to move, to get behind some form of cover but the grenade had the three second trigger and the two aliens only had enough time to get bend their disjointed legs before the explosion and having thousand or more pieces of razor sharp shrapnel through their bodies.  Their skin proved to be no more resilient than human skin as their bodies as they were shredded by the grenade.<br/><br/>Clulski managed to reach Nicholes first.   Her hands shock and it took an act of will on her part to still them as she pulled out the medical kit.   She went through the motions and activated the device.  A fine mist settled over the downed form of Nicholes.  Before her eyes the wounds stopped bleeding and began to close.   Nicholes stopped twitching and he his body slumped, as if no longer in pain after having been in pain for some bit.   As Clulski was treating Nicholes, Colbert moved cautiously towards Yoshia.    No other aliens popped out of the shadows but as she got within ten yards of downed soldier, flashes of an explosion came through the windows of a building no more than seventy-five yards away.<br/><br/>The two civilians had first raised their weapons towards Steen, but seeing that he was human, their relief on their face was visible.   Both of them started to talk over one another as they lowered their weapons, pointing towards the west, further into the operations area were intel had the aliens operating.    The two civilians did not drop their weapons, but they left as soon as they felt they communicated their message to Steen.
