"You wanted to see me, Lieutenant?" Willford asked as he stood in the doorway to Finley's office.
"Yes, Captain," Finley said. "Colonel Dekker brought in something very interesting on that boarding operation on that Nephilim cruiser this morning."
"What is it?" the Captain asked.
Finley held up a jar. Inside, several large bluish-gray insects were milling about. As Willford gazed at them, they started waving their forelimbs at him threateningly.
"We are doom!" one howled.
"You shall be fodder for our beasts, human!" another roared.
"The darkness shall consume you!" added a third.
Willford stared at the insects, slack-jawed.
