One-Ear couldn't believe his luck, the stupid villagers had locked him in an
old jail cell, complete with old metal bars. It took him no time to rubberize
the bars and escape. The Hoop paused for a moment before he freed Zeek and
Six-Fingers. He might need them after all. Sneaking to the boatdock the trio
stole a rowboat and quickly paddled accross the river of muck, Zeek proved
very useful when a Black Lung surfaced looking for food...Bye bye, Zeek...
Making their way to the ruins, One-ear pondered why the villagers hadn't
bothered to explore the ruins...something about bees? Cowards! what were a
few stings, compared to the riches of the Ancients! Nearing the ruins,
Six-Fingers froze,"I sense Danger!" the mutant looked about in a panic..
"Of course you do you moron, ME, I'll run you through If you don't keep
moving!"...sometimes Six-Fingers needed a little prodding and One-Ear was
just the Hoop to do it. One-Ear heard a distinct "BZZZZ" coming from the
broken down walls. "Damn must be a big hive of bees in there to make that
kind of racket."

The Hoop pushed Six-Fingers onward...just then nine of the biggest bees they
had ever seen rose up from the ruins. Each one was nearly a foot long, with
multi-faceted eyes and brownish-yellow body, What One-Ear saw immediately
was the viscious stingers each one bore, and each Killer Bee was headed
straight for them. The Hoop spun around knocked his sidekick over and
bounded away with all the speed he could summon! He heard Six-Fingers scream
in terror..."BZZZZZZ"....The Hoop rounded the bend and ducked under a low
rock, panting heavily, "Whew, good thing I freed Six-Fingers after all, I
am one lucky hoop!..What the? .."BZZZZZZ"

are .3 m long.

Cmbt KBs attack anything that threatens them or their hive. Up to 12 can
attack a man sized creature per phase. After a KB stings, it flies off
without a portion of its abdomen- the stinger and poison sack. The sack
continues to pulse and drives a single dose of poison/phase for d4+1
phases. The KB will die in 2-3 hours, its life given for the hive.

Hab/Soc KBs live in hives and collect nectar for food. They are feared by
most everything in Meriga (and rightly so).
