Bug Hunters: Darsh's Dream

Your hands have an odd feel to them. When you look down at them you see that they are dripping in blood. As you look back up you find yourself in the destroyed city of Las Vegas, even more so than last you came to it. The dead of those you knew surround you in all directions. Your father, the refugees you spent time with after the first bug attack, the others whom the others had rescued from imprisonment, Mike inside a twisted and destroyed mecha….

Then you find yourself in an empty room you are sitting in front of a round table, a coffee cup sitting in front of you. On the other side of the table you see a blue Army Ant, the same one from the city (you are not sure how you can tell this but you are positive it is.), sipping some coffee. As the mandibles begin clicking together he begins to speak, making an odd echo and buzzing sound.

“Hello, Darsh.” He says, as he sets the cup down on the table. “If your curious how I have gotten into your dreams. I had one of my…what’s the word?” he stops and looks down into the cup of coffee.

“Sibling is probably the most relevant I guess. I had one of my siblings leave a kind of signal which is traveling along the neurons in your brain as we speak. This will be short though as the signal will be dieing out after so long.”

The way his mandibles click together as he speaks and his drinking of the coffee seem very fake, like he simply wasn’t biologically built to do either and is breaking a lot of natural laws. He appears to be deep in thought for a moment, looking upward….

You find yourself in a large laboratory. A short distance away you see a very large (and oddly shaped) bug in a glass tube surrounded by men in lab coats. “Mother,” is the first thought that comes to mind. You find yourself in a similar glass tube. You scrape your claws against it but it will not budge. Anger, rage fills your mind as you attempt to tear through the glass….after a few moments you stop and stand there. Thoughts of peace and serenity enter your mind as you think the situation through. A ball of electricity builds up in one of your claws and breaks the glass to many pieces, some shards actually impaling a few scientists. You do the same to the glass tube containing the other bugs and then….

You wake up to a pounding at the door, the dream you had had still vivid within your mind. As you look around you see you are in what looks to be a prison cell. There is a pounding on the door and someone saying “Wake up! The commander is coming!”
