Description
"Angel 6 to Coastal 59, Angel 2 and Angel 6 are inbound heavy with wounded and request immediate landing clearance."
"You are clear for set down on deck 2 Angel 6 - we're waving you in. Priority medical has been dispatched to the flight deck."
Sent to investigate possible extra terrestrial activity in the remote Ascension Islands, the Marine squad set down at the tropical location and made their way towards the coordinates of the reported activity. As they neared the location, the squad's electronic gear began to lose power. They were cut off from central command and each other.
Then they came under fire. Their plasma bolt rifles were powered off and only their traditional side arms remained functional. Marines were dropping left and right from an unseen enemy. The squad leader called for retreat and the Marines made for the rally point with what wounded they could carry. Bloodied and bruised from an unseen enemy, the Marine squad had been cut in half by weapons and tactics they'd never seen before.
As they made lift off, they knew they couldn't return to base in time for the wounded and changed course for Coastal Station 59, a Naval supply post in the middle of the Atlantic. As they bounced their way through the notoriously stormy Atlantic weather, they had no idea what had just happened, but there was one thing they did know - The others were here and they were not coming in peace. The world had just changed forever.

Excellent scene. Great story, too. (Note: control panel seems to get cut off on the left side where the small lighted buttons appear.)

Wow... what isn't well done about this one. The lighting, the poses, the rain effects. Wow...

Another one I missed. As always great setup topped off with a short little script for context. Lots of great stuff going on. Love the red cockpit light. Couple things: the rain streaks seem to compete with the lightning, probably the streaks are too visible. The second would be in a space so saturated with red light it seems like the screens, even though light emitting, would be absorbing or reflecting some of that red light. Just some nits I'm sure you've picked yourself already. cheers
