Basement War – Jenny Dream Intel

According to Jenny:

I was fixing the stairs (me, not Jenny) and a black hole opened at the bottom of the stairs, and there was suddenly a spider/beetle/wolf creature.  I fell down the stairs and the spider-thing ate me.  Then it finished off the others in the house, and then it ate the whole world.  And then the Earth was sucked into the black hole and Pluto appeared where Earth was, only to blink out of existence itself.

Well that’s a fine how-do-you-do.  I’ll need some bigger cannons.

Basement War – Dream Intel

I received new dream intel several hours ago: it appears the spiders are developing enhanced armor technologies.  The prototypes I was shown appear to be some kind of spider-beetle hybrid possessing a thick carapace that extends into rotary wings.  The wings can slice through human flesh as well, if the dream demonstration is to be believed.  I can’t confirm that the blade can penetrate bone, but I’m thinking maybe yes.  The prototype is bright red and about the size of a grapefruit.  One the jumbo grapefruits.  A lesser man would have woken up screaming.  I would characterize my reaction more as a sustained shout, or perhaps a preparatory battle cry.
