As Durant and Fallon were in discussions, Stewart and Donovan made quick work on checking everyone's gear and weapons.

"Ya know, if we're going mountain climbing, it probably would be a good idea to have Fisher here make certain everything is balanced and secure," Stewart, "Hate to lose my last MRE because things were unsettled."

Taking the free moment to his advantage, Andreev turned and spoke to Lt. Reed. "Lieutenant Reed! It is so very good to see you! We did not know what to expect, but I am happy to see that you have all survived the swarm."

"Yeah . . . that was something I don't want to see again anytime soon," Lt. Reed replied, eyes darting to the various buildings looking for insects.

Almost as if on queue, a small swarm of about fifty to a hundred of the insects stormed out of the governmental building and streaked toward the group.

The scientist in Loralai spotted the incects and began formulating who, what and why they were what they were and what they were about to attempt to do.
The ninteen year old woman handled the situation on a much more simple level. She screamed...loudly.

...The ninteen year old woman handled the situation on a much more simple level. She screamed...loudly.

Upon hearing the scream, Andreev whirled in its direction. When he saw the insects, he positioned himself in front of Lt. Reed and whispered to her, "Don't worry!"

He grasped his FN P90 and took aim at the insects. "Commander, more insects coming!" Once he had a clear shot, Andreev opened fire...

He heard the sound and turned expecting to see maybe for or five of the 'carnivo-bugs.' What he saw was another swarm! Much smaller than the original but still a swarm.

Instinctively, he stepped between the bugs and Rylee and reached for the Zat secured on his belt. As he brought it up to fire he heard a P90 go off.

"Andreev! Don't waste ammo trying to kill them, just shoot to lead them away. Stewart, get that Zat out!"

Durant then opened fire.

Donovan dropped his gear, unslung his rifle, and took aim at the insects, looking for a clear shot.

“Scata fomhórach ólta,” Rylee muttered under her breath as she saw the swarm of bugs that emerged from the building. Figuring the sniper rifle would not have much of an effect on them, she retrieved her shotgun. If she had a clear shot at the swarm she would take it before quickly looking around. She was hoping to find a place where the team could take cover from the insects.

The sound of gunfire from her team mates jolted Loralai back to some semblance of sanity and ability to act. She hear Durant order the zat guns into action. As much as she hated the way he treated her she took stength from the commanding tone of his voice and forced herself to realize that, even if only for the moment, Durant was the one to get her out of this situation safely. With a deep breath she smothered her dislikes and tried to think of the team. Her dark eyes darting left and right trying to spot a good place for them to take cover.

As the swarm closed with the group, Lorelai's scream alerted everyone to the danger approaching . . . if they had seen it already. Stewart drew his zat and prepared to fire, waiting for the swarm to get into a more effective range.

Andreev lifted his P90 from his sling and opened fire on the swarm, the bullets impacting with sickening thudds into the creatures. Donovan likewise fired into the swarm and one of the insects fell to the ground, but the swarm closed undeterred.

As the swarm got to within fifty feet of the group, a bright light flashed from space directly into the front of the swarm. The impact of the flash of energy knocked several people to the ground, including Lucas, Andreev, Lorelai, and Stewart. The sizzle of burnt insects could be heard while everyone blinked furiously.

Durant maintained his balance and saw the impact of the blast into the insects and the ground. The few remaining insects turned and headed south, following the direction that the large swarm had gone. The threat had been averted.

Just outside the blast circle (which was a thirty foot circle), a second light flash from space happened only seconds later - the now more familiar light of the ring gates. After the light and the rings retreated again, everyone could see what was left behind . . .

. . . a black cat.

. . . a black cat.

"Krizzel?..." Loralai whispered in askance, her heart leaping at the thought of finding her lost pet and companion. She unconsciously began moving towards the cat.

Durant stood and watched the blast that appeared from space as it destroyed the majority of the insects and sizzled the ground in front of him. He squinted slightly at the intensity of the light but otherwise he stood, zat in hand, ready for whatever came next. However, what came next was a second flash of light and a small black cat. He hesitated and the slowly lowered his weapon. Then Lorelai moved past him towards her cat. He smiled. It looked like they were finally all back together again.

"Professor, if you don't know how to handle that furry, little kitty of yours, I'd be more than happy to lend you a hand. Or two if necessary." Yes, it seemed things were back to normal for this group.

"Rylee," Durant said before he had turned fully back to face her. "You and Fisher need to make sure we have all the gear we need for the next part of our trip. Time for us to head for the mountains." He looked over at Fisher to make sure he had heard as well.

Durant walked over to Andreev and then slowly looked up into the sky. "Help from Myrrdin? That's not good. Means he's still keeping tabs on us. I don't like that at all. Let's get moving and hope we can lose his little spy satellite in the mountains."
