[@thewizardguy] After a good hour, the creature emerges from the flipped tower and grabs cosmos once more, taking him with it as it leaves through another portal, leaving things as they were to deposit the both of them in a more modern setting and at a military base, the soldiers within taking a minute to raise the alarm before they open fire with a heavy caliber machine gun, the rounds simply richocheting or plinking off of it when they hit as it simply strolls in and sits at a computer, taking a minute to figure out how it works before directly linking to the military grade internet via opening up a finger to let it's wires run free amongst it, the process taking a good ten minutes before it's wires retract and it simply turns around and starts dismantling the soldier's guns, forcing them to engage in a useless melee which results in the vast majority of them having broken limbs by the end of it, the creature's body shifting slightly as if the internal workings were getting a fine tuneing as it's arm opens up and it starts to literally eat the rifles, it's core being directed into breaking the matter down into energy for it's consumption rather efficiently, it's digestion rates taking a good few minutes to completely break apart an object before it moves on to the next, leaving the injured soldiers alone as it instead feeds on their equipment, picking up a grenade and pulling the pin as if to study it before it blows up in it's face to no visible results, it simply picking up the rest of them and eating them faster than a fat kid in a donut shoppe could with free reign of the place, the explosions seeming to be easier to digest for it.
