Luckily, Jim already grabbed the nearest thing to a weapon he could find and ducked under a table when that horrible screeching of rending metal started. He pokes his head out just enough to see that... thing drop down. Holy shit. What the fuck was that thing? A mutant?

Jim's suddenly not sure if this is because of all those nuclear leaks they've had, or if it's a general effect of pollution, or what in the hell, because he's pretty damn sure 23rd century Earth doesn't have any humans like that.

Too bad he's not friendly.

Jim shuffles further along down the row of tables, keeping out of sight but wanting more distance. He wasn't exactly able to get a gun, but he did get something that's like a tazer, so that ought to help take Tank down. Maybe. Though, it'd probably be good to find out what it's after. One thing in general, or the whole lot?
