The creature's mind recoiled as Mithias created his mental projection. He could feel a wave of fear and surprise flung towards him, the emotions seeming to come from all directions. For a moment, he could hear a billion voices speaking, before a single voice drowned all of them out, seeming to emerge from the cacaphony, formed by it. Even as it spoke Mithias could feel the billions of voices it consisted of, all of them forced to speak in unison. A billion minds as one. "I am the Devourer!" And yet, even as it spoke those words, it sounded more defensive than insulted, as if Mithias were wounding it's pride. It was, all in all, a rather odd response.

Of course, that was when the dropship slowed to a halt. The pilot was cursing in the front of the ship, but despite the engines burning full throttle the ship wasn't able to advance a single inch. An immense psionic hand wrapped around it, holding it in place. And it was that same strength that crushed the ship's engines, the sound of screeching metal filling the small ship as the hull caved in. The ship then rapidly gained velocity as it shot towards the Earth, accelerating far more than would be expected if it were simply gravity pushing them. The entire ship had been caught in midair, and tossed back towards the planet's surface.

The friction of the rapid acceleration through the atmosphere would form a halo of plasma around the ship. While it had been designed for reentry and was thus capable of resisting the heat associated with that, it was moving significantly faster than it was ever intended to. There had further been a slight hull breach, and heat was making it's way through this breach to the air inside. The atmosphere within was toasty to say the least, and continuously getting hotter. Furthermore, with the engines out, there was no real way to slow the descent. Should the ship hit the ground, the resulting explosion would most likely decimate whatever area it landed in, the kinetic energy creating a shockwave that equalled a nuclear weapon in destructive capability.
