Black: Queen's Bishop C8 > F5

The outside of the ships was teeming with activity. Various members of the Amazon Brigade setting up on what was an exercise. The plan of the Hive was to use the ships to infiltrate the spaceport, infect the population and use it as a forward base. The fast response of heavily armed troops was unexpected. The fact the spaceport was being locked down meant that the Hive had to fight through the female troopers making a perimeter to secure the area.

But it could work out - they would have a large number of females for impregnation and the loss of a large unit would weaken the planetary garrison and sow chaos. But, with many of the Hive aliens still on the ship and not able to go on out without risking exposure and the crossfire positions from the setting up weapon emplacements outside, the Aliens would go to reconottir.

Dropping out the underside of one of the freighters, from a maintenance hatch would come several 'burrowers'. Ridged, with many scales on their bodies and quadrapedal forms to a human they might look like a mammalian version of a mole. IF a mole had a large drill for a face. The size of large dogs, they would drop silently off the undercarriage of a huge freighter, unnoticed. From there, they would dig into the ground, mandible drills instantly cutting through plating along the starport landing grid and darting underground. 'Probing' using sonic pulses, the burrowers would send back what they 'saw' psionically, popping up towards the surface to see if there were any stray women they might pick off isolated from the rest.
