Battle Los Angeles Page #3

You're assigned to 1 st Platoon

under Second Lieutenant Martinez.

His platoon sergeant's on leave,

so you're gonna have to suck it up.

Yeah, so, here's the lieutenant

right up here, 1 o'clock.

He's a kid, Mike.

Right out of officer training school.

He's only been with us a month,

but I think he's sharp.

It's just an evacuation, buddy.

He's in charge.

Just keep an eye on him, huh?

Just don't lose my paperwork.

- Lieutenant.

- Good afternoon, staff sergeant.

- Happy to meet you.

- Thank you, sir.

We're being called in to help with

an evacuation? For these meteors?

I assume so.

Whatever it is, I'm happy to finally

get out in the field.

At approximately 4:42 a.m.

Pacific Standard Time...

...the meteors impacted...

Who the hell took my tortellini?

You got tortellini?

This some kind of drill?

Get ready, man. Get ready.

It's serious. Okay?

Meteors continue to fall off the coast

of California, Ireland, Bay of Bengal...

Corporal. Corporal.

- Corporal. Corporal.

- Yeah?

It's probably just a training exercise.

No, man. They're shifting Nantz

into our unit. Something's going on.

The guy wants out of the Marine

Corps and now we're stuck with him.

- Stavs!

- You got tortellini?

I heard Nantz kicked ass his last tour.

He went into that compound alone

and killed 10 insurgents.

- That's what you heard, Lenihan?

- Chill out.

Yeah. Johnson in Foxtrot told me

that he was going on...

Don't worry about it.

- Let's go, this is serious.

- What the hell did I do?

Nantz got a couple guys killed

on his last tour.

What?

That's the story.

Lockett's brother was one.

So I know you didn't know, but

just don't... No, don't worry about it.

Looks like we're getting into

some heavy sh*t.

It's been my experience, lieutenant,

heavy sh*t is highly overrated.

Look, staff sergeant, let's just be clear.

I know your rep,

know what you've done.

This is my platoon.

These are my men.

- Not gonna have a problem, are we?

- No problem, sir. She's all yours.

It appears our initial assumptions

were wrong.

Listen up!

Once you get your weapon...

...get your gear, get your munitions,

move outside!

We got white chocolate rap from my

man. That should finish the new mix?

National Guard troops have flown in

to evacuate beach areas...

...and we have word

the military is now deploying.

That's us. That's us! That's us!

- Calling military for a meteor shower?

- I don't know why they're happy.

- A meteor that just hit the ocean.

Large plumes of smok e are coming

up. Visibility is getting worse as we...

These objects were

completely undetected...

...until they entered our atmosphere.

NASA estimates that they are not
