"Well just stow our gear and then enjoy our first night on our new homeworld," the leader said.
Their group was only six in total, including the leader. There were four men and two women, all at least six feet tall and well-muscled, looking every bit the part of a crack soldier team from our own world.
The reality was that they WERE from our world, just a parallel dimension, one that had taken a drastically different course from ours. Had anyone been awake and nearby, they would have seen just HOW different things had gone.
The fatigue-clad soldiers moved quickly, finding their way to the edge of the forest and stowing their packs and now-useless communication equipment. "There was a farm to the south," the leader said. "We're going there, and doing a standard enter and infect mission."

Meanwhile, about a mile from the clearing, another popping sound could have been heard. Six more human figures seemingly materialized from nowhere and dropped to the ground. But while the first group had been massive, this group was slender. While the other team had been four men and two women, this was a group of five women and one man.
This group was dressed rather differently from the first arrivals as well. Not even moderately dressed like military, the women wore tight-fitting clothing, almost painted on it would seem, considering how tightly it hugged their curves.

One of the women sniffed the air as a breeze blew through. "Fucking lupines! Well, at least we know we got the trace right."
"Do we go after them now?" Asked another.
"Are you fucking crazy? It's a full moon here! Have you ever TRIED to face one of those lunatics once they've shifted?" The man piped up, shaking his head in contempt.
"We're not going after them tonight," said a raven-haired woman. "They're going to be blood hungry and rage fueled. That's a recipe for a total wipe. Instead, we'll..."
