Jack's sitting in a club on [[7 August]] [[1941]], watching around for possible aliens, when the band uncover their true appearance, and suck all life out of the singer. As they then proceed to attack everyone in sight, Jack escapes and runs to the Hub where he finds, much to his annoyance, that everyone had already left — ''nearly'' everyone. As the aliens break through the last layer of security and enter the main room of the Hub, the [[Commodore (Overture)|Commodore]] hands Jack a safe. | Jack's sitting in a club on [[7 August]] [[1941]], watching around for possible aliens, when the band uncover their true appearance, and suck all life out of the singer.
