[color=ed1c24]Actually Abi that is not too different than what I was planning, with the exception that I was thinking of using larger numbers. A forty-seven  way approach if you will. [/color] Asus knew that releasing all of his remaining "combat hornets" would be risky since it meant he only had  a few left,the twenty-five he never sent into dangerous situations so that they could repopulate if necessary.

But they should be able to find the Marine captain and be harder to spot than the pirates. Of course any hornets that failed to spot their target would take a long time to return but he was certain that Abigail and Zypha would be able to protect him for a while. So he gave the forty-seven hornets to look for a man wearing a Marine Captain's coat and to return to him immediately once they found their target or after thirty minutes had passed.

Total number of hornets in Asus' body is 75. Number of hornets used for combat 50, hornets currently in use 47/50, dead hornets 3/50
