Apparently not, because there is absolutely no sign of her.

Permalink

Morgan’s still here, though, looking grim.

"...okay, no, this is enemy action. Morgan if you're the enemy I am going to be so upset."

Permalink

“I am not your enemy, and I was against the whole running after the murderer plan.”

"I don't think you are. And I also don't think the kid is a murderer. But worms don't do this." He runs a hand through his hair. "Sorry, I'm stressed and snappish. Let's go looking for them."

Permalink

“Yeah. Of course.” And they can begin looking. “I don’t know why you don’t, though. You’d thought it was him until you opened the door and saw a —“

There is the sound of several gunshots, in rapid succession. From thataway.

Permalink

And it's Vernon's gun; he can tell from the noise.

Well, he does not need to be told twice.

Here is Yvette, covered in goo and looking like she just shot and clawed her way out of… something.

“The fucking bugs swarmed me and shoved me in a, a gooey pocket thing!!!” she declares without preamble, looking very unhappy.

Permalink

“The bugs? Not…?”

Permalink

"...the bugs?" he agrees. "What... the fuck." Then he turns around again, grimacing. "What is that noise."

Permalink

“Noise? What noise?”

Permalink

“I don’t hear anything, either. Except, uh, the ringing in my ears from close range gunshot, which, ow.”

Permalink

"—get down!" Zash says, doing so himself.

Permalink

And a huge swarm of flying blugs appears out of nowhere and flies right at their heads extremely quickly.

Permalink

Yvette has by now figured out to just listen to Zash, so down she goes!

Permalink

Yep, yep, all down, giant cross gun and all.

Permalink

The bugs swerve around mid-air after they miss them and then try to go for a more scattershot approach to get them.

Permalink

"Let's just run," he calls, but he'll bring up the rear because he can very reliably one-shot even the very small bugs and do so very quickly.

Permalink

“Yeah okay sounds good!”

She’s certainly not going to be any good shooting, so: just running!

Permalink

Morgan will be running in front, prepping her gigantic gun to do some shooting. This involves unwrapping it, but it’s made to unwrap quickly, so.

Permalink

There are enough bugs that the main problem shooting them all out of the air runs into is his pistol's recharge rate plus how many bullets he wants to waste.

Well, since he's no longer pretending he isn't insanely bullshit, he can, in fact, pulverise these bugs by punching them, and he can, in fact, move his body fast enough that this is a viable strategy, at least for the number of bugs that are currently in the tunnel chasing them. There is a number of worms that would overwhelm him but "a couple hundred" is not it.

Permalink

Cool, cool, and Morgan can handle the front and keep any bugs from off of them and focus on going up. Because she doesn’t have any better ideas. Her laser gun is on its lowest setting, which is enough to fry any bugs that happen to get in her way.

“Kinda wondering what our exit plan is here, I think we’re still underground!”

Permalink

"I was planning to think about that one after we found the—"

The worm suddenly lurches and the ground tilts—

—they're falling, and there's a suction effect—

—and then the suction effect is reversed and they're violently sneezed out of the creature out to the surface. Only its "nose" is sticking out, which would make sense if it literally had to sneeze and couldn't do it underground.
