Ivor would be relatively quiet as the female guard went over some basic firearm instruction. He didn't want to interrupt, might make things take even longer or even more awkward. He did struggle to hold back a smile at the mention of going for head shots. Newer trainees, or first time firing ranger shooters always ask something similar.
He would only shake his head.

[color=f01a89]"Huh, guess we really don't know their insides do we. They look humanoid enough but, doesn't mean their heart is in the same place either."[/color]
Ivor realized, holding onto a rifle magazine. He'd double checked that his safety was on, before clicking the magazine in place. 

[color=f01a89]"You [i]don't[/i] want to be surrounded in close combat with these things. But we'll probably need to take at least one of them down, get something from them. Maybe see if we can capture one incapacitated I'd imagine."[/color]

Ivor would swallow down another chuckle with a grunt. He watched Eric get reprimanded for pointing the barrel directly at their own face. It was a bit funnier since it had been against the [i]first[/i] thing Eric was told.

[color=f01a89]"Essentially anything on the pointing end of that barrel, is something that can get killed. Don't let it be you. Especially with this attachment I gave you."[/color]
Ivor would reach over to help adjust the bayonet onto Eric's rifle. He'd make sure the case of the bayonet still covered the blade, it could be removed with a strap once they actually stopped in the vehicle.

[color=f01a89]"If one of those things get too close, poke 'em when they're charging at you. Hopefully that'll give you a window to back out of their or help push them away."
"Oh, and keep your finger off the trigger until you want to fire a shot. Think we'll show you the safety once we've stopped, best to keep that [i]on[/i]."[/color]
He'd pat at Eric's shoulder.

Depending on how fast the truck was driving it probably wouldn't take long to spot the enemy ET's that were just a handful of miles away. The odd humanoid creatures were roaming the hillside further to the east. Eight were about searching the area in widening circles, seeming to scan the ground with sort of odd light.

These ET's had the vague human frame, but their bodies had a differing makeup. Their form seemed to be earthy, or almost rock like in texture. Their bodies ranged from dark browns, to stone grey but non-uniform in color with various splotches of differing shades throughout. 
All of them had a singular circular 'eye' on the front-side of the body, but not particularly in the same-spot as the others (face, chest, etc.). The eye was a large red dot that had been emitting the odd light scanning the ground and nearby areas for something.
