The retaliation of the alien ships wasn't unexpected and was easy to deal with for MC. After all they kept their distance, meaning he was easily able to put up portals to redirect the shots right back, blowing the ships out of the sky. "Ho hum. How boring. Guess I should turn my attention to the mothership." MC said to himself as another ship just shot itself to death from his portals. He used a series of portals to get himself to the ship, and found someone on top. He wasn't sure who they were or what, but they seemed to be engaging the aliens, so MC gave them a hand by causing a few aliens to fall a great height with some well placed portals or using portals to divert blaster shots back at the aliens themselves. MC wasn't bored enough to use portals for more direct methods of attack yet.
