The mercenaries spied a small door to their right which led into the warehouse. The mist only became thicker the closer they approached the door. Assuming their regular positions, Geremiah tapped the control box. The mercenaries froze as they stared into the creatures’ nest. Sthol reached out and tapped the control box again, closing the door. The mercenaries stepped back, staring at each other with discerning looks.
Sthol looked deeply at the others. “Did you see that?”
Geremiah nodded his head. “It looks like the nest. There was some giant, bulbous creature on the far side, probably a hundred of those skittering, scorpion things, and a handful of the larger ones. This must be the mother, and those little ones must be her offspring. I’m assuming they grow into the larger creatures we’ve already fought.” Geremiah glanced toward the far wall. Using his night vision goggles, he could see vents along the way. “The small ones must be traversing the ship through the vents. They must fall into the rooms, get stuck, and grow into the larger ones. That explains why the control boxes are all intact.”

The mercenaries all nodded their agreement. Dahn’tyu spoke up. “Maybe we can lure the big ones out, into this cafeteria. If we can take them out in small groups, we should prevail. The smaller ones do not seem to be much of a threat, but I am uncertain about the bloated one.”
Dahn’tyu reached out with his psionic powers. “I do not detect any movement throughout that ventilation system, nor do I hear any scratching on the other side of the door. I do not believe they are aware of our presence. We should proceed with the plan and take out as many as we can in this room. The bloated one did not look small enough to fit through the door.”
The mercenaries nodded their agreement. “I can lure them out with my handflamer. It should startle them enough to at least investigate,” said Sthol.

Geremiah walked toward the door. “Let’s do it then.” He tapped on the control box to open the door, then stepped back to allow Sthol to fire through.
Sthol let out a long burst of flames to cut through the mist. The noise had its intended effect as the larger creatures turned to investigate. Sthol released his handflamer and waited for them to approach. Upon seeing the first creature in the doorway, he pulled the trigger again, dousing the creature with flames.
Malakai and Theth flanked Sthol, cutting down the enflamed creature with precision. Dahn’tyu and Geremiah held back, should any get through. Two more creatures appeared and Sthol repeated the process. Only one fell from the handflamer, but the other was quickly dispatched by axe and sword. However, the creatures did not relent.

Galaxy Guide. Their backgrounds and motivations can be placed within any galaxy!
Xenopedia includes:
- 35 different xenos species including…
- Intelligent species.
- Non-organic species.
- Animal-like species.
- Monstrous species.
- A simple rating system to better understand the species.
- Wild Card villains.
- Illustrations for each species.
