"Still in camouflage, the Predator cut out the lights running from the South Tower and came down upon the men of the Southwest wall like an avenging demon, so fast and silent that he was past the muzzles of the big guns before they'd even swung in its direction. It laid down plasma burst, pinning down the other men along the wall, while it sliced through the gunners with its knives. A slit throat. A footlong stroke through the side of another, the screams and blood rising as it worked its way along the wall."

"In under 5 minutes, the defenders had died or fled, and the Predator had suffered only minor injuries, a few bullets lodged in its chest armor."
