Bug Hunters
In reply to Brutus Cartwright (msg # 46):
It takes a few minutes to prepare an away team and launch them (Brutus is in a tank). In that time you notice the bugs are not in a hurry. Their methodical approach involves wiping out everything, so the locals they figure will not be able to run forever.
The APC approaches, and together you move in, the tank taking and returning the heavy fire that deals with the local bugs effectively.
Landing in front of the locals, you note they are very much humanoid, and seeing your men, they hesitate, and watch you cautiously, looking at how you respond.
