As the days went on and we left the moon I kept a visual over the route we took. Being in the army had given me many ways of avoiding those what wished to destroy us.

Movements of the Swarm began to pop up nothing to pint point exactly where they were, Captain Blackwell had also sent word about the Swarms they had come across, the encounter didnt phase Alex the bugs they came across met a brutal end at the hands of the poison the RedStar had developed

My ship exited hyperspace about a new planet. Having destroyed another planet with just the new species and making my 41st planet with a new kind of bug I decided after scanning this planet that this one would be the one I allow the new species out to have some fun with their predecessors. Lowering the ship down once more into orbit i sent out my first bugs with their new brethren on their backs to deposit them down onto the planet. '41 planets down. Soon to be 42.' I thought and looked down at the planet.

The planet seemed deserted apart from the defenders who seem to be wearing envirosuits the intense fire from the defenders slowed the swarm but not enough before as the swarm got into the city the Defenders retreated in to bunkers under the city.
Out of hyperspace came the Hiigaran fleet, as soon as the ships jumped out of hyperspace they started firing, it had been near 800 years since the Hiigaran Fleet had been seen in action outside Hiigaran space. Admiral Reikshelm stood on the bridge of the hammer with his hands behind his back "Caught you" he muttered "my orders to all ships, continuous fire, dont let up" He ordered as the rail cannons fired furiously at the swarm making mince meat of them.

After first seeing the Higaren fleet exit hyperspace I lowered my ship onto the planet. I hadn't planned on touching any higarens and although i still didn't, if they landed I wouldn't have any choice to send my bugs after them.

"The ship is lowering into the planet" the cons officer yelled as Reikshelm sighed "Target the engines" He ordered "Message to ground forces to seek cover" Reikshelm said and folded his arms as the ruthless reputation he had began to show "All light ships to force the ship into the ground" he ordered "Torepedo ships are to move in and pound the hull into oblivion" he order "sir the Republicans want the leader of this swarm alive "One of the officers said "Then try not to kill her"

I looked up to the smaller ships head towards mine. 'They are going to blast the ship' I thought and felt a few of the smaller bugs crawl up my legs. Wincing as a few burrowed into my skin I soon moved over to the edge once more and before the ships got close jumped off the edge. I landed on the ground in a crouch and braking a bit of the concrete underneath my feet.

"Admiral, Commander Hawkeye is reporting, Her battalion is making it launch her men will be on the ground in less then 10 minutes guardian droids are already swarming the city" the officer said as another came to him "Sir, all existing defenders have evacuated" he reported "Pound the planet" Reikshelm order before the entire fleet launched every warhead it had at the planets surface.

Once I was steady once more I grabbed hold of one of my larger bugs and made it fly to out of the city. Many of the swarms moved out in every exit of the city making it hard for anyone to know which one i joined. 'maybe I should have gotten a few of my creatures and started over' I thought as i ignored the explosions.

Moments after the bombardment stopped the drop-pods started landing before the gun ships sped through the clouds, there was no way off the planet now as reinforcements from the republic arrived over the planet the entire system was on lock down the gate closed as the military force of the Republic and the Sovereignty beard down on planet hell bent of catching or killing the swarm

Taking a group of both of the bugs into one of the forests I sat in a high tree and cut my palm. One of my smaller original bugs landed on my hand, it lifted it's tail and placed it's stinger onto the cut and dripped a bit of the venom into it. I ignored for now the other bugs that brought me weapons from those that they had infected and pulled out a syringe from my pocket, I pulled off the needles cap off with my teeth then placed it against the vain on my bleeding hands wrist. I pushed the needle in and deposited the fluid from the syringe into my system. 'if they all die here I can create more now' I thought and watched my hands wound knit back together. I placed the weapons that the bugs had given me and gave out new orders while I waited.

The Forces on the planet wiped out the swarm with out mercy with fire and pulse bolt, mercilessly slaughtering the bugs like cattle and heaping their bodies into the fire they set all throughout the planet. there was still no sign of the Swarm leader, at least not by the Hiigaran stand point.

I evaded everyone i could using everything i knew from my army days and even a few tricks I had learned while traveling the stars. I doubled back many times and even left false trails while I planned any way i could to get off this planet. I didn't really care that my swarms were dwindling to nothing after so many years and planets worth of creatures. I stopped at a stream and drank from the cool water while thinking of a new strategy to get off the planet. I chose to stay around the forests since it was easier for me to be stealthy and find food when I could.

The winds in the forest shifted, the targeting lazers of an unseen foe closed in on Hayley before the sound of a cable gun fired the cable sped towards her before another fired and another and another till the forest was fill with the sound of cable guns firing at Hayley

The moment I heard the first shot I was moving, dodging each cable in quick fluid motions, I knocked some off course by kicking up sticks and rocks that were heavy enough to be caught. I quickly vacated the area and fled away to avoid capture.
