[a: space chase!]

With the invasion comes chaos, but there are some who manage to organize groups to fight back against the Greimen. Your character may come across one such scene, as a whole squad of aliens can be seen retreating, some of them hopping and gripping their ankles in pain.

It doesn't take long to see what it is that's driving them away, as they're followed by a group of small battle-ready robots, all shorter than the average person's knee. Some buzz as their saws spin, others wobble as they flail a pickaxe-like weapon around. A few, including Rita's own Hecate II, spit fire as they pursue the aliens. There might also be an actual Roomba with a knife taped to it among them.

Following shortly behind is a row of aliens holding remote controls, each commanding an individual robot. Among them is Rita, still in the form of a faceless gas-person, but seemingly enjoying the chase nonetheless.

"We've got them on the run!" she calls to the others, apparently taking a leadership role in this operation. "Let's keep it up! Rush them again, see if we can force them to split up!"

[b: psychological warfare]

Elsewhere in the station, and at another time, Rita may be found cornered by an alien wielding a weirdly retro-looking ray gun. She stands tall and stares him down with no sign of cowering, but she's backed against a wall with no clear way to escape. It seems like she's in trouble... or is she?

Should one come near them, they might catch some of what she's saying.

"...and that doesn't even scratch the surface of how stupid this whole plan is! Do you even have any brains inside that gigantic head of yours?"

It seems like her words are having some effect, as the Greimen's lip starts to quiver and the hand holding the ray gun appears to tremble.
