The making of the bullets wasn't as hard as Joe Billman would have thought. It was a simple matter of dipping a standard bullet into the hot, alien liquid metal, and letting it dry. They It took each bullet about ten minutes for the metal to dry on, leaving a coat of black over the bullet. Joe was just finishing up a group of .50 caliber bullets when the instillation shook around him. Reflexively, he pulled his Beretta M9 out of its holster and took cover under the table, when he suddenly realized that debris was falling from the ceiling. "Yessir!" he said, and ran back into the instillation.
