Oh, and BTW...Happy Easter all!! *tears into a solid milk chocolate rabbit*)

Virgil was halfway down the hall when he first heard the omnious buzzing from ahead. A few seconds later the source of the danger became clear, as the swarm of insectlike drones approached.

"Damn...here come's the welcoming commitee," he said quietly. They were small, difficlt to kill with "ordinary" weapons like lasers and swords, and probably envenomed with God-knew-what--and while Spade's grenade launcher might get them all, it puld probably blow the entire team to smithereens as well..Waitasec...

"Heh...compared to the mosquitos back home, these are nohing," he said aloud, part of him hoping that the man had heard him, as he concentrated again. Soon drips, then drabs, and finally rivulets of sweat poured from him as he contracted the sphere inward, attempting to crush the troublesome drones with one blow...
