The swarm of giant red-eyed bugs drew closer. The villagers hid inside the relic of the ancient starship, hoping that their ultimate weapon would soon be ready.

When the leader of the giant red-eyed bugs, his jaws dripping venom, heaved up upon his hind legs and asked "Could I trouble you for a cup of sugar?", the villagers realized that
