The swarm kept coming; no matter how many anybody killed the giant mass of chitin, tooth, and claw kept coming. Undeterred, they trampled their dead, some did stop to eat of their dead species, but for each one that stopped, a hundred thousand more continued. The White Ones did something strange though, they stopped, about a mile from the colony, out of any effective range save that of high powered snipers. They just stood there, clacking their claws and making high pitched chirping sounds.

The colonists kept up their assault for a big longer, launching bomb barrels and shooting any gun they had or made. But then a few began to pour a liquid substance down the sides of the walls. it smelled strong and very fumy, not bad, but not good either. It was thick and slow to flow, but did to actively. Yet as the green-ish tar flowed down, the colonists didn't seem to be affected, but they did ease up on there shooting and urged the others to be careful and to step away from the edge.

Ryder didn't hear any of it, but his weapon was over anybody's head due to his height, so he seemed to be safe about it anyway. So he just continued to unload into the mass, beneath his massive helmet he had a huge smile. Ryder loves his fights, and this was going to be a crazy one.
