[QUOTE="Keia, post: 1688260, member: 98"] [I]The Stone Courtyard P7X – 912 Almost two hours since arrival, June 3, 2003[/I] 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. [COLOR=Silver]OOC: All[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
