Skitters. Aliens with six legs and a bulbous head with sharp teeth in a fierce maw. Shorter than humans, but of about the same mass. They crawl like spiders, able to climb up vertical surfaces and hang from ceilings.

Mechs. Large robots, about twice as tall as an average human adult, made of metal. A huge spotlight shines on their chest. Four laser-like beams radiate from their heads, and when they come together on a target, a barrage of bullets or shells will instantly obliterate it.

Spindly aliens. About the same dimensions as a human adult, with a head, arms and legs, but very thin and spindly. Shiny and shimmering, so far the humans have only had furtive glances of them.

THE PLACES:

John F. Kennedy High School: A typical one storey school building, with a gym with wooden bleachers, an auditorium, several classrooms that have been converted into living quarters, an office and a lab that has been turned into Anne’s clinic to tend to the wounded.

THE THINGS:

The large alien structure over Boston: A massive building made of concrete and similar Earthbound materials. It sits on four legs and rises high above the skyscrapers of the city. From the top, several arms or wings expand outwards, covering much of Boston’s downtown core.

The 50 cal: A large machine gun, about as big as a human, which is typically mounted to the convertible car that Weaver rides.
