The party-goers on the beach paused collectively in their revelry as a bright flash emanated across the beach, rolling waves of sand down the coast. Glenn and a few of the company lab scientists shared a moment of horrified recognition, knowing the buzz and bright glimmer all too well. The businessman turned griller's analytic mind tried to consider a plan to take, an order to give, but as he watched the glowing form erupt from behind the restrooms, he drew an utter blank.
