The Capsulers (Part 1)


Andrew woke with a start. Over him Jessica was standing with her hand over his mouth.
"There here."
Andrew gave a bemused look.
"The capsulers, there finally here."

The two of them had been living in X-ray bunker for over a month now.
They were part of the planet defence force put together after the news that capsulers could take over planets finally.

Jessica moved her hand from Andrews mouth.
"Then why are we whispering."
"Their scanning the planet, command say they don’t know what for. We have just been ordered to keep voices low and cross-bunker messages to a absolute minimum.

Just then there was a boom outside and the earth shook.
"They must have sent something down."
The two of them ran out the door, pulling armour on and grabbing weapons. They weren’t the only ones. People who had heard the boom were doing the same while the ones who hadn't were being woke by the people who had.
The pair reached their station. It was a laser rifle, But only for personal not what they saw in front of them.
There in front of them was a large building.
Suddenly steam started spurting out from doorways that just appeared.
For five minutes everything was quiet accept from the hissing of the doors. Then they opened.
Armed men started rushing out taking up defensive positions.
"FIRE."
The command erupted from the loudspeakers positioned in the hallways.
The night lit up with the flashes of laser fire.
"BOOM."
The artillery must have finally got the message.
