Amlan and Raki and Ezzy were enjoying their off-duty time in North America with fine-spirit as a team of soldiers of American Homeland services/background and knew-nothing of the top secret US-gov't military report file of a strange UFO-landed terrifying 'Predator' alien hiding-out in the Pine Barrens woods of New Jersey (USA) waiting for some daring human (American?) soldiers to creep into its war-hunt 'dominion' to make vertigo of any Earth-realm mentalism of holidays-happiness or streets/traffic sanity for the Ego (damn).

AMLAN: Got a call in our room concerning a Pine Barrens quest, heroes.

EZZY: We're simply a trio of friends off-duty and don't need this holidays end.

RAKI: Why the Pine Barrens, Amlan soldier?

AMLAN: Unsure...but the gov't claims concern forward alien-invasion preparation.

EZZY: Martian?
RAKI: Invasion in the forest of New Jersey?

AMLAN: Unsure...but we're marked as the trio-team for valued greetings, heroes.

EZZY: Facebook-like (Happy New Year).

The Pine Barrens had become quite the 'environment' for campfires, and there'd been some nice-rich folk-tales of unusual sightings of non-human metaphysics and made some curiosity in the US-gov't concerning the agenda of the 'Predator' (sighted invading alien hunter with laser/blade weapons used for decapitations of campers/crossers/trekkers!) in such a campfire place on the Blue Planet. Of course, Amlan and Raki and Ezzy were considered the 'hyperbole' wise right-stuff for greeting of the Predator (for doubt).

TRIO (Amlan/Ezzy/Raki): Look at that leviathan!

PREDATOR: Aaaarrrggghhh!!

TRIO: We've got this experimental acid-batch and weapons to match, ok.

PREDATOR: Aaaarrrggghhh!!

TRIO: We pour this acid batch into this ditch and lure the Predator to fall into it.

PREDATOR: Aaaarrrggghhh!!

TRIO: Despite its claws and helmet and armor, the Predator could fall to acid.
PREDATOR: Aaaarrrggghhh!!

TRIO: God bless us in the Pine Barrens (by Earth).

ARMY GENERAL: Good fortunes, Amlan.

AMLAN: Thanx (Selfie-like).

ARMY GENERAL: Predator's been carried to incarcerated containment (study).

AMLAN: Thanx (Selfie-like).

ARMY GENERAL: The acid proved invaluable, Amlan (hmmm?).

AMLAN: Thanx (Selfie-like).

ARMY GENERAL: You going back (to Canada maybe) with Ezzy/Raki for sigh, man?

AMLAN: Earth-qualia (Facebook-like!).
