YOU EXPECTED GODDESS OF BEES AGAIN, BUT IT WAS HER—MALEVOLENCE! A DISTINGUISHED BEEMARINE WHO ENDED IN A VERY UNCOMFORTABLE POSITION.
If there was a bigger source of anger for a Beemarine than to become a prisoner in hands of the Empire's enemies, then Lieutenant (formerly a Sergeant) Malevolence didn't know it.
During the recent fight against the green giants, they were unforgivably slow. An unlucky sweep of a giant net caught Malevolence and seven other bees from her hundred.
Before the Beemarines could cut through the net with their knives, the giants flew in terror—and the shaking of their nets became so strong that the Beemarines became unable to move.
And when the nets slowed down enough that Beemarines could recover, the giants shook them out of the nets and into a prison cell!
It was circular, thirty steps in diameter and forty steps tall—very spacious even for eight prisoners, and entirely barren of anything.
