[ IP ] Observation Deck

`` Sir, it should be within visual range shortly.'' 
 
 Casper gazed out through the glass. It was thin and he was surprised it was able to house all of the people behind him, all walking about seemingly unperturbed. The clicking of heels against the aluminum floor interrupted his focus momentarily as his eyes adjusted past the blinding light of the sun. The marble moon glistened and twisted as they watched silently. 
 
 `` There. I see it. There!'' his partner shot. 
 
 He could make out a pointed figure, much like the tip of a pen begin to pierce into view. Just as the engineers predicted its trajectory would be. He felt his heart skip a beat. `` Get Langley.'' 
 
 `` All hands on deck, the Object is within view. Go Alert Red,'' Casper announced. 
 
 The soft blue that bounced and jostled through the observation deck phased red and was accompanied by a low frequency humming. Casper watched as the object inched out from the moon as if it were a cautious fox stalking its prey. 
 
 `` Arm missiles!'' Casper bellowed. 
 
 By now the deck was fully staged with brass clad generals and green suited captains standing shoulder to shoulder. `` Gentlemen,'' Casper began. `` The fight for our home begins.''
