Eric wanted to take some time to inspect his new costume but didn't get the chance before Ivor finished the alien he had downed. Not being as experienced as Ivor he didn't notice that everything seemed to move slower or that the ET's were worried about what just happened. Instead he focused on the nearest alien and tried to push it aside to create an opening.

To his surprise Eric pushed it back much farther than he had expected to, especially since he didn't have a running start. He didn't have too long to think about it though as the alien went on the offensive. The helmet wasn't enough to fully stop Eric from feeling the alien's punch to his head, but it wasn't nearly as bad as it should have been. Not knowing what else to in this situation Eric simply punched the alien in the weird eye on its chest.
