The number of alien ground units seemed to be decreasing, which suited Press just fine. As he turned, he was greeted with the rather surprising sight of large electric kittens flying toward him. He quickly turned and started flying backwards while aiming his palms at the incoming threats. As he was about to fire, though, a large burst of laser fire shot down the kittens at the location where Press had been. If he hadn't moved, he most likely would have been shot down. 

Still, there was no time to think about that. The thief could wait; he needed to focus on the larger threats, the drop ships that had now decided to shoot at him with their weapons. Then he had an idea. He had no idea if it would work with alien tech, but it was definitely worth a try. He then shot upwards and backwards, towards the ocean, with the alien aircrafts in hot pursuit, firing bursts of powerful laser bolts at irregular intervals. He returned fire at them, only for his lasers to strike some sort of force field. Figures they would have defenses. Still, it was of little consequence. As they reached the water's edge, Press set his plan into action, turning off the drop ships' propulsion systems and forcing them to obey only his commands. This was made possible thanks to his ability to manipulate technology, and what he just did meant that the aliens inside could not get their ships to move the way they wanted, causing their ships to dive into the ocean by the forces of gravity. 

Press smirked, knowing what he just did was awesome, but felt the mental fatigue beginning to set in. What he had done was also not the easiest thing in the world, especially when dealing with multiple complex systems at once. There were other ships firing at other people, but Press figured that perhaps he could do something about that. Taking control of one ship's weapons systems, he turned them onto other alien ships, causing confusion among the aliens as they then began firing at each other.

Meanwhile, Horus continued its directives, following the drop ship that it had been ordered to follow. Rivers had landed on it, but that did not deter Horus from following. Besides, it's not like anyone would notice Horus, as it's body was cloaked, causing its body to only be visible as a patch of light that seemed to be a bit off. Nothing that could be noticed unless you were expecting it.
