Security barrier blocks the Space Control guard post entrance. MPs fire on approaching aliens and UNIT vehicles despite Brigadier's order to open the gates.

Aliens Force Entry After Human Firefight

The Space Control guard post barrier is the first physical obstacle the aliens encounter, a flimsy symbol of human security. The MPs fire upon the approaching UNIT vehicles and aliens, but their bullets prove ineffective as the aliens effortlessly lift the barrier with their superior strength. This act is not just a demonstration of physical power but a symbolic rejection of human attempts to control or contain them. The barrier’s removal is swift and decisive, setting the stage for the aliens’ unstoppable advance into Space Control.

Before: Securely in place, blocking the entrance to the guard post, guarded by armed MPs who are prepared to defend it at all costs.
After: Lifted and discarded by the aliens, lying uselessly on the ground as the path to Space Control is cleared.
