Midgets and Hamsters and Insects...Oh My!
Where- Crashed Bug When- just after the Bugs are seen heading to the beach Who- Sydra, Phil, MP, WW, Jay, Alota <snip> "Oh contrare, I have a plan. Sydra, youre in charge of looking after this ship. Defend it from those water bugs in anyway you can got that?....Me and the midget have a job to do..." <end snip> "Smashing, I can sing them into submission," Sydra mumbled caustically. Looking on as Phil and MP headed to the beach, Syd sighed. Near the crashed starbug, Sydra stood weapon poised, ready for any bugs that might head her way. The bugs seemed to be more interested in the beach than the crashed bug. The tension in the air was high. Sydra had trouble in not letting the stress and ill feelings in the air overcome her. Her head ached as she tried to shut out all of the negativity that she could so plainly feel swarming about her. "Join SpaceCorps, they said. See the galaxy, they said," Sydra thought with a smirk.

Thinking back, she vaguely remembered seeing a large hamsterish looking being on her way in, but Syd just assumed it was a stress induced hallucination. Becoming more aware of the tension laden air, Sydra shook her head. "Midgets, giant talking hamsters, overly aggresssive bugs... what's next?" Sydra thought to herself. Ignoring the stress levels was becoming increasingly difficult, and as Jay and Alota sent a grenade hurling into another patch of palms, once again Sydra's mental defense mechanism kicked in... *And so you're back, from outerspace....I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face* Thankfully, everyone seemed to preoccupied to notice her minor outburst, as Cerebrum stepped out of the palm rubble...
