Bugs

There are insects swarming the base. Literally covering it. We can't see out of the windows or open the door, they're swarming us so thickly. Big, dark, weird looking ones with wings, and loads of legs, and sort of blue sparks of light rippling over their bodies. But that's not even the weirdest thing. Doolittle can't understand them. She can understand the language of EVERY creature and culture on the planet, but she can't talk to these bugs, or understand them. She says she just gets this weird 'weeeeeb' tone in her ears when she tries, and some sort of static. She can't even hear them buzzing. Nobody else can, but it's driving me and Hana mad. What the hell is going on? Are these bugs only after me or something? All our electronics are going into meltdown, everything seems to be wrong with them at once, the base's defenses are glitching out of control, and we have no idea what to do. Rag's having to wear a containment suit, after seeing what happened with the wasp we're terrified what might happen if one of these touchs him. Tildy tried asking for some otherworldly help, but the ghosts who came to help made no impression on these things at all.

Oh God, the vents! I put the base on lockdown, but with all our tech going haywire, some of them have got in through the vents! and the shutters over the windows are trying to open!

Lightning isn't working! They like it! OHGODOHGODOHGODOHGODOHGODOHGODOHGODOHGODOHGODOHGODOHGODOHGODOHGODOHGODOHGODOHGODOHGODOHGODOHGODOHGODOHGODOHGODOHGODOHGODOHGODOHGODOHGODOHGODOHGODOHGODOHGODOHGODOHGODOHGOD What the hell do we- Ow! Arhh, it scratches! 
Maelstrom, don't!

Dammit! He tried to whirlpool them. One got sucked it, started, I dunno, fritzing, and there was an explosion. Maelstrom's out cold, and the bug's getting up, although it seems to be having a fit. Can't anything destroy these things!

Bwoah! I'm on the ground, holding one away from my face with Precog's Cricket Bat. It's wings, there's something on them. I mean, they're blurry because it's buzzing them, but it's like the movement is forming some sort of, what is that? A pixel picture?

Ow, another scratch. If I could just concentrate for a second.....my head....figure something out.....where's Tingle.....Ow....

The image....black and white?.............some sort of creature?.....a...bear.......why does this bug....ow....have a picture....arhhhg........of a.....miserable......bear?.....my head......scratches......bleeding......






THE BEAR! SAD PANDA! ONLY ME AND HANA CAN HEAR THEM! ELECTRONICS GOING HAYWIRE. REACT BADLY TO WATER. LIKE ELECTRICITY.

BUGS.

Oh god....they must be......but they can't be! How did he........he must have.

Techorator, I don't know.......how you did this......but I will end it......and I will find you....and when I do-
