Amy Mills slept well that night. That didn't happen every night, but it happened this night. She dreamed. She dreamed of enormous space ships firing at each other across the sky of some green and blue marble planet. Dozens of them, hundreds of them... maybe even thousands. She dreamed of lasers and missiles, of glowing shields and explosions. She dreamed of men and women in uniform, and strange aliens of all shapes running besides, running about a ship. She dreamed of fires in one part of the ship, about gaping holes in other parts.
She dreamed of escape pods raining down from the ships to the planet below. some burned up in the atmosphere. Some crashed. some made it towards the water and land below. She woke up to the feeling of sand against her body. All of her body... where were her clothes? At least she's not too cold. She could hear the sound of waves off to her left. And smell some sort of acrid smoke. Opening her eyes, its early twilight. she can see occasional shooting stars in the sky, coming down at a high rate. And occasional flashes of light in the sky. She's on a beach. She can't tell if the plants are tropical or not. The smoke is coming from a giant metal can or pod on the beach, just a few dozen yards away.
