then a time skip we shall have, whats gonna happen though?

Maybe Cassandra is getting better.

Or we're fighting aliens.

When we're fighting aliens it'd be a good spot to do more descriptive stuff of what happened in the time skip, like "in the course of (insert how long the time skip will be here), this happened and this happened and blah blah blah"

Idea for time-skip:

We pile into the ambulance as the aliens start landing and shooting the place up. We drive to the hospital where we are safe because the military/police/SWAT/whatever has set up there. We stay for about a day or two to get in better condition. By then, whoever is fighting the aliens is losing and we have to get out of the hospital and run before the aliens overrun it.

Sounds good.

Ok, ill do grothnors idea when i can find dome time

Philip acting so casual about it XD

Solid.

With only a day or two of recovery time, Cassy would still be in a bit of a bad way...

We could skip forward far enough that the invasion has already been established and is well under way, we've all recovered (mostly) and regrouped. Perhaps the situation is such that none of us were able to get home, so we're stranded somewhere together and need to come up with a plan for survival.

Building off Rax's ideas, the guys we ran into could have been advance troops/scouts. Their full army could arrive later enough that we have plenty of time to recover, but we'd still be stuck in the hospital/safe-zone.

Those work, I can't wait for it ^~^

A hospital might not be the safest place. In fact, any place that masses of people converge onto will become a target, strategically speaking (if I was an alien invader that's what I would do). It would be best to get out of the city, or at least as far away from the downtown area as possible, toward the outskirts.

Simultaneously the invasion could be happening in other cities around the country, and though we escape we come to another place only to find the same kind of destruction and chaos.

Also I've been thinking that we're going to need some kind of significant advantage in order to have a chance of making any kind of difference. Like, we're gonna need something that our country's military force don't have, and I'm thinking it should be some kind of alien weapon. Perhaps personal cloaking devices/force shields, or teleportation devices. It's gotta be good and it's gotta help us get past their defenses in ways that an ordinary soldier wouldn't be able to.

That does make sense, and it makes me even more anxious >*<

Brilliant idea Rax! :D

Personally, I would like personal cloaking devices or teleportation.
Or both.

IC is a bit dead.

To be specific, my idea was that the hospital safe-zone holds out against the scouts until the main army shows up, giving us about 1-5 days of recovery time in the hospital. Just to clarify.

Also, I'm a big fan of this 'use their technology' idea for our escape. I'd prefer cloaking devices, because it increases the tension. It also would make for a tense scene when we realize there are invisible infiltrators in the hospital. See here for something like that. You'll want to skip to the 1 hour mark.
