Yeah, I caught that. My point is that I don't understand the point in burying superadvanced fighting machines deep in the earth, then leaving them there for untold (but implied to be) lengths of time. <i>Then</i> come back via lightening storm so much later.
I suppose one can explain that by saying "their motivation is truley alien" so we're not supposed to understand. But, that's lame. Why an alien species could take over the planet, but chose to bury machines and wait 1000 years, is beyond me.
