[@thewizardguy] Funny enough I was considering that on Beserkers at first but hey! So many options when an outstanding discovery is made. And controlling one individually should be possible, considering they're rather simple creatures, but the hive? Likely not. 

[@Absolis] It all depends if the cloth is immune to said energy spheres fusing with it rather than inflicting damage. The attacks don't explode but turn anything they combine with into bombs. But as I read the cloth's description it seems to be able to resist that too. 

Edit: I don't think they've tried to kill her as much as warn her. It's pretty much no man's land in the multiverse these days, can't trust anyone.
