They are actually skultalas in disguise. They explode out of their human skin disguises and slaughter all of you.
(*ahem*)
Everyone turns on their headlamps. The alley is now very well lit. It looks clear aside from the unusual amount of trash scattered across the pavement. Garbage bags are everywhere, some burst or torn open and their contents spilled out. There are several dumpsters and one has been tipped on it's side. Refuse is flowing from the lid. Most of it's just paper and glass.
The night is filled with movement and noise as the wind howls and the storm showers Neo-Tokyo in a heavy rain, but this alley is completely still.
Kihara feels a sudden chill and she shudders. She spins around instinctively, rifle shouldered.
Something..
...
Is here..
She scans the street behind the squad, her eyes wide. But, I don't see anything-! She didn't say anything aloud, but Osama sees her movement and comments. Hoi Ume, are you alright..? He notices her stance with some alarm and begins to bring up his own weapon.
What do you see-? He hisses.
They watch out together for a few more seconds. Kihara relaxes a bit but doesn't turn away just yet. Then, finally. I'm not sure.. Just a feeling I had. They're standing at the back of the squad, as the rest of the team take their first steps into the alley, and Osama asks her to tell the corporal. Osama tells her how important he thinks it is, but Kihara doesn't trust instincts as much as Osama does. She's reluctant to come forward about a hunch.
Meanwhile Ikoma is leading Ayako, Ichihara and Enoshi into the alley. They're walking carefully, scanning the walls, and have reached the overturned dumpster. Enoshi is a bit reluctant to walk through the trash. Urgh, gross. There's probably rats in here. He stops to take a closer look at the rubbish and he moves it around a bit with his foot.

Private Kihara Ume

Private Ichihara Miya
Gender: Female
Appearance: Below average height. Has unusually pale skin and mid-length brown hair. Has sharp features and very bright eyes. Always seems to be smiling.
Personality: Miya almost always has something to say, and the day she's at a loss for words is the day we all fall straight into hell. Very lazy and always shirking her duties at the base, her reliability in the field is second to none. Is believed by many in the company to have a photographic memory because of her overwhelming success at any form of gambling.

Private Ayako Kawaguchi
Gender: Female
Appearance: Slightly above average height, with dark, wary eyes, smooth pale skin and shoulder-length black hair and bangs. Has a distressingly large nose, at least when compared to the rest of her face which is rather small.
Personality: Rather quiet and thoughtful, with a generally distracted air. She doesn't speak much unless necessary, unless she's in the company of trusted friends- and she is slow to make friends. Becomes annoyed easily, not that she shows it other than a slight agitation of movements.

Private Osama Takenaka
Gender: Male
Appearance: Osama's dark skin and broad build indicates that his parents were not natives to Japan. Both his head and jaw are clean shaven. He is just entering middle age.
Personality: Osama always puts on a brave face, regardless of his actual feelings on the matter. Whilst he is content to follow, when pushed he tends to push back harder.
