Ferocious Planet Page #5

Looks like I landed

in some quicksand.

Quicksand?

Sorry about that, Colonel.

All right.

I can't see a thing

out this door.

What's your bearing?

I'm about 20 meters

your one o'clock.

And, Colonel...

you'd better hurry.

Roger that.

All right, Lieutenant...

I'm gonna have you

deploy your grenades

three meters

from the building,

on my mark.

Copy that.

This is suicide.

You're never

gonna make it.

Just give it

some time.

It will leave.

What if it doesn't?

I'm not gonna

leave him out there.

He did the same

for me once.

What, saved your ass

in some other

parallel dimension?

No. Tehran.

The Iranian

nuke facility.

That was you.

No wonder the Senator

hated you.

I put together

a briefing report

for the President.

I just didn't make

the connection

between---

RIVERS:

Colonel? Colonel?

Now, Lieutenant.

Rivers!

[Squelch]

How's the rescue plan

coming, sir?

Perfect.

Just grab my feet.

[Grunting]

Whoa!

[Grunting]

This is some

rescue plan.

Dig your heels in.

Don't worry.

I've got you.

Pilates

six days a week.

[Grunting]

[Panting]

I don't hear anything.

That's good,

isn't it?

[Roaring]

Go!

Thanks.

No problem.

So, you were

in Tehran?

That's classified.

I gather the intel

for the President.

I know what

really happened--

the nukes,

the civilian hospital,

who really

gave the order.

[Rumbling]

Doesn't matter now!

We got bigger problems!

Let's go!

Damn,

we need something

more effective

to fight

that thing.

We've got to find something

we can make an IED with.

Solvents, cleaners--

whatever you can find.

Where's

the other one?

He didn't make it.

What's that smell?

Don't poke

the aliens.

Okay.

They're filled

with ammonia.

It's in their blood.

Great. So, don't

poke the aliens.

Fascinating.

Something happen

to him?

No. Looks like

he punctured

an internal organ

filled with some

sort of acid.

Acid? Can we use that

as an explosive?

[Rumbling]

Uh, depending on

what it is--maybe.

Lieutenant,

you got a lighter?

Yeah.

Here you go.

All right. Looks like

we got something

we can use.

Try to get as much

of that as you can.

Roger that.

How are we doing

on repairs?

I've almost got

everything ready.

And I've made

the necessary

adjustments

to get us home...

I think.

You think?

[Rumbling]

The system's

rebooting.

We'll know for sure

in about 15 minutes.

Excellent. Right,

let's get ready to go.

The thing is--

I have to object.

We need to spend

more time exploring.

We should gather

more information...

collect more

samples--

No, wait--

There's no reason

why we can't.

To leave now would

be irresponsible.

If you'll

let me finish--

We have

another problem.
