His first shot landed, and the creature jerked, narrowly avoiding the second, but he was able to compensate and hit is a second time. Johanna rushed towards it, but had to take a long enough path that she couldn't get close enough to strike, before it fled... and it fled<em>fast.</em>Darting from cover, heading towards more substantial defenses, they'd get a chance to see the utterly alien creature; a body like an odd, black, misshapen sphere, with a gray orb hanging below its body, like a lidless eye, trailing a half-dozen long, whip-like tentacles. It moves faster than he can run, and darts across the area, diving into a hidey-hole in the wall of junk, out of line of sight.
