The elusive alien became one of Ivan's possessed minions. He mentally labelled the new acquisition 'Soldier A'. This victory was bittersweet; it meant he had now lost the entire contingent of sixty aliens he had possessed outside the property, sacrificed in the final, devastating attack.
Using the mental link he now had with Soldier A, he gazed around the property through its eyes. Everywhere was still quiet; there was nothing unusual, except for an alien that sat on the dome. The alien gazed intently at Soldier A.
'Shit, an alien eventually came out to check on the ruckus,' Ivan mused, more or less shocked to see the alien sitting on the dome. 'It's still fine. It didn't dare to come close to inspect the damage. I just have to make A act like nothing is wrong.'
Soldier A maintained a focused gaze on its comrade on the dome. They both locked gazes for about thirty seconds before the alien on the dome took off from the other side.
