The Escape : A Triceraton mothership is nearing the planet Earth. The commander of the craft has followed the beacon from the homing device on the D.A.R.P.A. base - but we discover that all is not well on the vessel.

Before anyone can react, the monster shoots a tentacle out of its maw that impales Nobody through the chest. The Triceraton fires at the behemoth, but it retracts its appendage and devours Nobody. Casey grabs a bomb out of Nobody's abandoned duffel bag and tosses it onto the monster lying below. The blast cripples the creature,...
