Ytterking was very pleased. Consturction of Sol III Se U'u (Earth Base One) was going very well. Two hangers were up full of aircraft, as was the defence perimiter and the command building.
After eating breakfast and going over reports, he decided to go visit the puny humans. They were being treated good, especaily by Centarian standards.
Ytterking was almost there when the alarm sounded. The intercom announced American airplanes were approaching fast. Ytterking quickly stepped into a near by lift to go the the command room.
Arriving, subordianted immedatly began spewing reports.
Radar Operator: Sir! Four fighters approaching from the East.
Ytterking: Set rockets to automatic. Lets see how this new permiter is doing.
Weapons Officer: AA missles on auto. Time till fighters are in range: 30 seconds.
* a long 30 seconds pass *
Weapons Officer: Missles away, missles are tracking.
Ytterking: How many were fired.
Weapons Officer: Eight sir, two for each. Time till impact 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4,3, 2, 1, 0... DIRECT HIT! TARGET DESTROYED!
Ytterking: Excellent! We can all sleep soundly tonight knowing our superior equipment will keep us safe from those pesky bugs of a creature. Everyone carry on.
Ytterking left to go see the humans, but glanceing at his watch, noticed it was time to oversee the sub pen construction...
