But it was already too late, the monsters already crawling towards them, one black leg edging around the corner as if it was feeling its way. But it was not a leg, regardless of how it behaved with an insect-like quality to it, the light flickering above

\par \line \hich\af0\dbch\af46\loch\f0 
Alyssa squealed, breath stolen by fear where it may otherwise have been a scream, and Sandor shouted, brandishing his energy pistol, even if it would do no good against the creatures. With gaping mandibles and dripping fangs \hich\f0 \endash \loch\f0 
 though they didn\hich\f0 \rquote \loch\f0 t seem to \hich\af0\dbch\af46\loch\f0 drool saliva but something thick and gooey with a yellow-green hue \hich\f0 \endash \loch\f0  they came for them, a horde.

 Oh, he never would say so to Alyssa, but there was fur poking through here and there, showing between insect-like plates covering their bodies, antennae quivering wantonly. As they crawled towards him, hunkering down and chattering like the giant
\hich\af0\dbch\af46\loch\f0  insectoid beasts they were, he realised with a shuddering ripple of horror that all was not as it seemed.
\par \line \hich\af0\dbch\af46\loch\f0 
For the creatures, if they could even be called that, were not just monsters but his former crew mates, a deer antler sticking out there and a tuft of blue fur from the wolf who had been the second in command. His stomach churned, yet Sandor forced it do
\hich\af0\dbch\af46\loch\f0 wn, for that was all he could do, brandishing his weapon like it was going to save him. His paw shook terribly but the creatures seemed more interested in him, diverting to one side of the hallway and leaving a gap.
\par 
\par \hich\af0\dbch\af46\loch\f0 He cursed under his breath, taking strength from adrenaline, and slammed his paw }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \f0\insrsid13049729 \hich\af0\dbch\af46\loch\f0 onto}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0

 towards the gap in the insectoids. The doe-taur stumbled over her own cloven hooves, but fear kicked her into action, flight taking hold at the opportune moment. Leaving her lover behind, though her heart ached for him, \hich\af0\dbch\af46\loch\f0 
she did as he bid and fled, hooves skittering as she hurled herself into motion beyond the insectoids.

\hich\af0\dbch\af46\loch\f0  and causing them no harm. One grabbed his arm, pincer-like fingers curling around his wrist, and he yelled as he yanked it away, ears pinned flat to his skull and chest heaving.

It was such a pathetic thing to say when he was as overwhelmed as he was and he snarled helplessly as they dragged him down, scrabbling at his hip holster for his other gun. That had cruder bullets, laced with metals from far-off planets, but the more sen

In their sharp, biting hands, he was dragged away, guns falling to the side, kicking and howling: as if that did any good. They hauled him away, dragged him down the corridors as his back slammed into the floor, and tossed him into the engine room with it
\hich\af0\dbch\af46\loch\f0 s grinding clanks and softer hums. Parts of the ship, after all, were older than others and it was not a particularly fancy vessel.

\par \hich\af0\dbch\af46\loch\f0 The pleading whine was on his lips, though it pained him to breathe life into it. Yet the engine room was not as he\hich\f0 \rquote \loch\f0 
d seen it before, nearly every surface, behind the grind of the engine working in the background, was covered in biomass, a hexagonal hive \hich\af0\dbch\af46\loch\f0 
stretching from floor to ceiling. His eyes rose, hardly daring to look there, but the pods dangling from the top of the room shook and hollered, their trapped occupants seemingly already knowing their fate.
\par 
\par \hich\af0\dbch\af46\loch\f0 The rest of his }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \f0\insrsid13049729 \hich\af0\dbch\af46\loch\f0 crewmates}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \f0\insrsid13049729\charrsid3685386 \loch\af0\dbch\af46\hich\f0 \'85\loch\f0 
 Sandor shuddered, raking in a staggering breath that hurt in his chest. His boots skidded through creep on the floor as he was shoved down, the tortured cries of his crew mates echoing through his head. There were more pods on the walls, though some of 
\hich\af0\dbch\af46\loch\f0 those looked ripe and empty with a green hue to them, as if they were waiting }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \f0\insrsid13049729 \hich\af0\dbch\af46\loch\f0 for}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \f0\insrsid13049729\charrsid3685386

And then one of the creatures, larger than the others, stepped out from the back of what could only be a hatchery. It reared up tall, parting its mandibles, a long, roiling hiss pouring from its mouth. There was no trace of another creature about him and 
\hich\af0\dbch\af46\loch\f0 some part of his mind noted, dimly, that it must have been the origin species.

Their speech was interspaced with hisses and clacks from the mandibles, though he could understand them wall enough. The raking of breath in his lungs and the pounding of his heartbeat covered up more of it, the fox down on his knees and pinning his ears.

 grabbed him by his arms and wrestled him into one of the sickly green pods, shoving his chest in and then his head, though Sandor fought tooth and claw not to go in. The pod seemed to have a film that could be slid over the opening of it, closing him in,
\hich\af0\dbch\af46\loch\f0  but it didn\hich\f0 \rquote \loch\f0 t give even a }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \f0\insrsid13049729 \hich\af0\dbch\af46\loch\f0 little}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \f0\insrsid13049729\charrsid3685386

\par 
\par \hich\af0\dbch\af46\loch\f0 
And then thick fluid slopped into the hatchery pod, swimming around him as it clung to his fur, burning. A blood-curdling scream that struck terror into his own heart grabbed at his throat and he thrashed, fighting to swipe it off him, to scramble up and 
\hich\af0\dbch\af46\loch\f0 out of the deluge. Yet it oozed over his head and clung to every inch of him as his body ached deeply, the dully throbbing only countered by the sharp, blistering burn.
\par 
\par \hich\af0\dbch\af46\loch\f0 Yet he could not fight, blinking as his limbs grew heavier and heavier, and the fox slumped within the pod, a broken sob in his throat. He didn\hich\f0 \rquote \loch\f0 
t know how much time passed as he bore through the seemingly endless pain, until the front of the pod split, fr\hich\af0\dbch\af46\loch\f0 om top to bottom. The fox had not realised he\hich\f0 \rquote \loch\f0

\par 
\par \hich\af0\dbch\af46\loch\f0 
His body bristled, like the hairs on his body were thickening up and becoming spikier, more insect-like, but it was truly far more horrific than that. Skin and fur sloughed away in places to reveal dark plates of chitin, monstrously transforming. He tried
\hich\af0\dbch\af46\loch\f0  to scream, but no sound came out, fingers twitching as his claws hardened and elongated, matching those of the Vyraxi he\hich\f0 \rquote \loch\f0 d already seen.
