The hours passed as Jane and 1st Squad waited for the arrival of 2nd Squad. The sun set and night befell LV-1875. The sounds of the creatures crawling about the outer walls could be easily heard. Occasionally one of their shrieks pierced the air, but no attack came. For what ever reason the creatures were biding their time. Perhaps waiting for the marines to move to a less defensible position or simply having lost interest in them for other prey.<br/><br/><br/>As the next day dawned it was yet even more hours before 1st Squad's head sets began to sound off with received transmissions. "Repeat, This is 5th Regiment, Charlie Company,  Kilo Platoon, 2nd Squad hailing 1st Squad. We have made planet fall and have established a secure LZ at our objective. If there is anyone out there please respond. Repeat, this is...."<br/><br/><br/>The signal repeated over and over. It was obviously a recording that 2nd Squad was broadcasting over the standard military band in the hopes of establishing contact with 1st Squad.
