Drone- Breaking Hive Victims

  The area to which they dragged him was hot and damp, and covered in the glossy black deposits they’d been seeing all around the Sea of Sorrows ever since they’d arrived. He never guessed what they were. Never would have guessed, even if they’d given him a lifetime to figure it out.

  The things held him down and when he tried to fight they effortlessly broke his right arm in three places. That pretty much ended his attempts. Still, that wasn’t enough for the things. Two of them leaned over him and vomited gray-black goo over his body. The stuff started hardening as soon as it touched the air, and they spread it with their claws and slathered him with it until he was encased in a silicon straight jacket.

  Even if he’d had it in him to fight any more, the glassy webbing quickly became too solid for his battered body to fight against.
