Fery was jogging lightly as Nehalem followed behind her, trying not to take notice of her small waist and bountiful hips moving under the suit. The lights were still flashing, and the shrieking alarm was getting irritating.

Just as they approached the corner, she slowed down, voxelizing her signature harpoon on one forearm. Nehalem balked at how long the weapon was.

“Size matters, sugar,” she said with a smirk as a helmet folded over her head.

“Wait, what?” he said, perplexed.

She peeked around the corner and ran out into the room, weapon drawn. Nehalem followed to see Fery joining Vix and Baronessa. Baronessa picked her up like a little kid and tossed her onto her broad green shoulders. She did a leg lock, connecting with her partner, and Nehalem wondered how many times they had ‘tuned’ with each other.

Sasha was just down the south corridor, running with Jerrica and Samantha, all of them suited and booted for action. As they ran the corridor, they stopped to check each room. Nehalem watched Jerrica and Sasha move in tandem like a skilled team, something he would have to teach the others. Samantha seemed to ignore the tactical maneuver, bolting straight for the computer.

Samantha ran to one of the control booths, accessing the central mainframe. “Nehalem, we have a breach in the northern paddock!” She yelled out.

Nehalem was quick to run up behind her and see the rows of wheat, barley, and corn. “Something happened in the hydroponic sector,” Samantha said, zooming the camera closer in on the plants. “These plants were grown with the seed.”

The corn looked different, as if the stalks were missing only at the top. “Spry Bugs?” Nehalem asked.

Samantha brought up another window, cross-analyzing Spry bug DNA. The results came back negative. “Something’s going on behind that door,” she said, pointing fifty feet away to the botanical sector.

Nehalem looked back at the monitor and studied it carefully. His discolored eye could see something moving on one of the stalks. “Look at that.”

A few feet away, one of the pale green stalks began to wiggle and the green husk unfolded. Inside, an unripened ear of corn began to break apart into hundreds of tentacles and legs. Where the corn had broken off, a large, gaping hole formed, framed by its husk as if it were lips.

“Is that a fucking mouth?” Nehalem asked, now looking at a shocked Sasha.

Samantha quickly dialed some instructions into the panel. “Gonna turn on the Halon Fire Suppression systems. Maybe it will suffocate them out.”

Jerrica shook her head in disgust, stepping back slowly and voxelizing a hand grenade cannon the size of her arm, the barrel hole nothing short of six inches in diameter. He walked to the door, analyzing its contours and mechanics. He then pumped large, hockey-puck-sized devices all along the door in loud thuds.

Sasha looked at Nehalem with a cold expression. “Looks like no more training for you.”

Nehalem watched the monitor closely. “Listen, if this doesn’t work, I have a plan—”

BOOM!

Jerrica blew the doors off their hinges, crumpling the thick steel like tinfoil.
