Mr. Hart flips open a channel to the evacuating ships.
MR. HART
Fellow Valhavenites, we are under attack! It appears we are up against Zetas! They have unleashed three squadrons which means the mothership can't be far. Implement defense manuevers HART-DELTA-SIX. My ship is at point. Repeat, my ship is at point. I have Starry Pottar onboard.
The Valhavenite ships emerge from Earth's atmosphere and scramble in all directions to face the oncoming Zeta squadrons.
MR. POTTAR
Rocco?
ROCCO
Yes, sir?
MR. POTTAR
As I understand it, you are familiar with our defense technologies?
ROCCO
Yes, sir!
MR. POTTAR
Good. We need you to run the big gun. Strap yourself in at the terminal in the back, and press the big red button to initiate.
ROCCO
Yes, sir!
Rocco jumps up and heads to the back of the ship. Starry is quick to follow.
STARRY
Why do you... How do you... What the...?
ROCCO
OK listen, I haven't been entirely straight with you these last few years, OK? But I have sworn to secrecy by my father and yours.
STARRY
I can't believe you knew.
ROCCO
I stumbled upon it one day. I was fooling around in our kitchen pantry, looking for something to eat, and I must have switched something on. The wall swung open, and there was this whole new room. It was filled with monitors and equipment - stuff not from this world! There were aliens on the monitors, Starry, can you believe it? Aliens! After that, my parents had to tell me.
STARRY
And you never told me. Your best friend.
