Maybe this is a touch of humour? At the end of section I, Zero attacks three bipeds which had emerged from a "monster" that had descended from the sky and disables their communicators - carried outside their bodies! He runs with one kicking wildly under his arm. Another batters at him with its hands. He ties all three together, stuffs them into his carrier and takes them to his cave to study. End of section.
In section II, Hugh Darkington (viewpoint character), Frederika Ruys and Sam Kuroki descend from their interstellar spaceship to Earth in a space boat...
So now we know who Zero's three captives were! The change of point of view between sections I and II is staggering. So much in a single short story.
