Not wanting to waste a full deployment on a few stragglers, but also not wanting to be surprised by an unexpectedly strong alien presence, we sent a squad of 4 very well equipped agents. Each carry a cloaking device, shield, devastator cannon, and toxigun in addition to their normal tools.
| Squad | members |
| 1 | Chris |
| 2 | Dave |
| 3 | James |
| 4 | Julia |
James spotted the first anthropod from a distance. Confident that it could not see him, he backed off around the corner until his squad mates could back him up. Julia arrived first, seeing a second anthropod backing up the first, and seeing that it had a launcher, took over its mind. Unfortunately, it was only an entropy launcher. The second alien vanished the moment the first alien turned to attack it. Dave spotted an anthropod a moment later, and after his first shot impacted harmlessly on its shield, he switched to his toxigun to finish it off. He proceeded to find and eliminate the remaining brainsucker, hyperworms, and spitter.
Perhaps this explains while there was so little resistance at the astrodome. Some of the aliens must have escaped to this factory, or travelled there before we cleared the dome.
