Roc leaned against the opened Doorway of the Aft Bay, the young man listening to the sounds of the downpour. The rain was a soothing sound to alien, helping him to relax a bit, but he was still completely alert. Captain had given him the job of guarding this door for the start of the night, till another security officer came to replace him. It was impossible to hear anything above the rain and that was why Roc didn’t hear the movement outside the ship.

They were called the swarm, a bio weapon made to overwhelm a army and kill anything in it’s path. The queen and a male mate that had be made in the lab on this planet had escaped and started to breed. They had starter to grown in numbers when a creature of this world had broken into their underground hive and killed the queen. Their numbers had stopped growing but they had been designed to deal with the death of the queen. All they needed to do was find a female substitute and mate with it. The act of that would start to rewrite the females genetic code making her into a hybrid of what the female was originally and part swarm, so after a few matings she would change enough to bare their eggs and be the new queen. 
 

The 3 foot tall Swarm had approached the strange craft slowly in a small group, the scent of a suitable female partner to be their new queen within this object. The biggest one, a leader, pressed his hand on the hull of the BlackStar’s Aft Bay, its sensitive skin picking up the vibrations within. He sensed one inside, but it was male so he decided to wait for a female to be closer before attacking.
