Black: Queen d8 > a5 *check*

The Brood Queen felt conflicted. On the one hand, they had just captured their first set of breeders and given them new and glorious purpose. On the other, these Humans had reacted more quickly than had been anticipated and with much, much more **** than expected.

The Brood Queen contemplated their choices, what felt forever to the Hive might have seemed like a passing moment to the humans, but eventually the Brood Queen reached a decision on it's next course of action. It had wanted to save these of it's Brood for much later, but given the circumstances if they were not used now they might never have the chance. The swiftest, most agile, and pound for pound toughest the Hive had to offer, each was a careful investment for the Hive. While the rest of it's bretheren focused on strength through unity, safety through numbers, this Hive Spawn was carefully raised and nurtured for one purpose. To decapitate the head of whatever **** opposed them, to strike at the opposing 'group mind', as laughable as that was from the Humans.

With a single thought, the Brood Queen activated their Skirmishers. Oblong heads, no eyes visible, void sharpened claws on all 4 limbs, a strong tail, a back that could spew out void shards with frightening accuracy, and of course it's suction capable hands among other specialized tricks. The Brood Queen had also been curious to try out a new evolution... one that took the Nest's ability to jam wide area communications and focus that into a tactical area, much less range, but able to interfere with even these human's hardened communications equipment. The Brood Queen waited to see how this evolution performed, content that whatever the result, it could only serve the Hive.

Underneath the shadow the Freighters cast over the landing area, a series of holes were somehow silently carved out of the exterior hulls along the ships' undersides. Out of these new cavities, no more than 10 large and alien vaguely humanoid shapes descended, flattened themselves to the ground, and quickly bounded through the shadows towards the outer edges of the facility, using their jamming ability to cause enough disruption to slip past the perimeter and find a perch on a rooftop where they could surveil their prey to find the perfect place to strike.
