Alpha, Beta, Charlie, Delta, and Echo stood in formation, at attention as Commander Matheson paced a path in front of them.

The commotion of military and police vehicles and air craft flew past as Matheson continued his walk up and down the line without speaking a word.

“So he got away,” Matheson said calmly, quietly, in a whisper. The Nano Squad remained in full attention, not speaking a word.

“Yes, sir,” Alpha replied.

“And how did that happen, Alpha? How did John Baker get away?” Matheson requested, looking to the five of them with mock curiosity.

“Huh? Nobody? Nobody has anything to say? No explanation?” Matheson asked as the five stood before him in silence.

“Echo?” Matheson asked looking to the smallest of the five that was a good few inches smaller than him. “How did he get away?”

“Sir, I…” Echo began.

“I’ll tell you how he got away, Echo. In fact,” Matheson turned to address all five members of the Nano Squad. “I will tell all of you, exactly how John Baker got away. He got away because the five of you are industrial strength fuck ups! That’s how he got away!” Matheson roared. His calm demeanor suit pulled away to expose his rage.

“You five fucks come here and are supposed to be the best of the fucking best, and the five of you aren’t able to deal with him?” Matheson got into Echo’s face, the intensity in his eyes threatening to blow him apart.

“You’re supposed to be fast as fucking greased cat shit! How the fuck did Baker stand up to you twice?” Matheson roared.

When Echo remained silent, Matheson moved down the line and began jamming his index finger roughly into Alpha’s chest.

“And you? You’re supposed to be the Billy Jack bad ass of these tribe of maggot cocked piss pots! Why the fuck did he get away from you?”

“Sir I…” Alpha began.

“Shut the fuck up! This whole ‘Invincible Heart’ bullshit is nothing! Nothing at fucking all!” Matheson roared turning his attention to the other four members of the Nano Squad.

“Actually, Commander, that is where you are wrong.”

Matheson turned around furiously to see Doctors Tee and Denton exiting a Humvee looking to him. Dr. Tee stepped forward, a wry smile on his face handing a metallic briefcase to Karen.

“The fuck did you say to me, Tee?” Matheson growled.

“I said that you are wrong. The ‘Invincible Heart Project’ is not, as you so eloquently put it, bullshit. You see, a part of the reason why we wanted to ensure that the Hives did not produce Queens is to ensure they could be evenly controlled, and contingencies against rebellion.

“However David Newton also had a theory on what could or would happen if a Queen developed within a Hive. Dr. Denton?” Tee gestured toward Karen calmly.

“It was a hypothesis of the late Dr. Newton that the Queen could also have certain other advantages that make controlling those Nanos not only near impossible, but would also have other implications.”

“Implications like what goddammit?” Matheson roared. “Spit it the fuck out!”

“To put it simply, evolution.
