Killer Queen Ant

Description

You make your way through the bends and tunnels of the nest until it opens up into a chamber big enough for you to stand up in. Its very dark but you find yourself walking towards a red glow in the distance.

As your eyes adjust to the gloom, you can just make out the shape of what appears to be (and in fact is) a gigantic, robotic queen ant.

You hear a series of mechanical hums, whirrs and clicks, and then a grating metallic voice says "So! You've come to take me back at last? You're not the first, and I doubt you'll be the last!"

Take her back? Take her back where? Suddenly, you're not so sure about this.

The queen laughs at you, sending shivers down your spine.

"Well, puny human," she says, "Lets get this over with shall we?"

Sounds like this is an offer you can't decline. Meh, who wants to live forever anyhow?

While the Queen is busy being threatening, you get the jump on her.

Combat Messages
