Episode 1: Jail Break - Part 4

  

Interior - Tunnel system below the prison:

  

Sam Sterling was drenched in sweat. He had been beaten and bruised, and now he was on the retreat. His fight against Firebug and Barricade had not gone well at all. With his gleaming shield and his mechanized armor, he was able to hold out against their combined might. The battered structure around them, on the other hand, had not fared so well and soon collapsed in a thunderous clamor.

 

When Sam came to, he was three levels down and there was no sign of Firebug or Barricade. Though, he soon found his mentor, Captain Electron, broken and beaten to unconsciousness. William Watts lay in a heap against the cold cement floor. His mask had been torn away and he had apparently been left for dead by his attackers.

 

Sam regained his composure, the servos and actuators in his suit helping him to upright himself, and he got to his feet. His HUD in his helmet blared multiple warnings. Slowly, he made his way over to Watts and gathered the fallen hero into his arms.

 

“Sir? Are you awake? Are you even alive?” Sam felt like weeping as he tried to check for a pulse. He had let down his mentor. He had promised him that he would be there when he needed him, but he had failed. In exchange for that failure, William Watts had paid the ultimate price.

 

“You’d know that if you’d look at your HUD… geez…” A weak voice groaned up at Sam. "Anyway... I'm still kicking... barely."

 

“You’re alive!” Sam blushed, embarrassed that he forgot about all of the tech that was crammed into his suit. Suddenly alarms went off in his helmet… warning of an impending explosion.

 

Silver Sentry got to his feet and dashed away as quickly as he could, cradling Watts in his arms. He could feel the heat of the explosion at his back before he heard it. Flames burst through the subterranean corridor as the two heroes made their narrow escape.

  

… It all began with an explosion… Now it was time to rise from the flames.

They say a change is as good as a rest (I dispute this, but...) but with that theory in mind, here's 3 pics I took at a friend's gig last week.

The setting was uber dark, so I had to be a little creative with the settings. The results have been well received though :)

Firebug, Pyrrhocoris apterus.

As soon as it stopped rainning i went out to take some pictures... but just in time to take a picture of these guys, it started to rain again, i barely managed to get back home without getting my camera wet.

I like these guys because they look like they are walking masks :)

A rework of a post from 2009, this derelict property succumbed to firebugs in 2010.

Pyrrhocoris apterus nymphs in aggregate mode.

Seen in Bulgaria.

Autreppes, Picardie, France.

Als Nymphen werden Jungtiere verschiedener Arthropoden bezeichnet, die, anders als die Larven, äußerlich dem erwachsenen Stadium bereits sehr ähneln. Nymphen findet man beispielsweise bei hemimetabolen Insekten, wo sie sich von den Imagines unter anderem durch noch unvollständig entwickelte Flügel und/oder Genitalien unterscheiden.

 

Die Gemeine Feuerwanze (Pyrrhocoris apterus) ist eine Art aus der Familie der Feuerwanzen (Pyrrhocoridae). Die durch ihre Färbung sehr auffallende Art wird meist einfach Feuerwanze genannt, sie wird im Volksmund aber auch als Schuster- oder Feuerkäfer bezeichnet, also irrtümlich für einen Käfer gehalten. Die Tiere leben gesellig, so dass man sie in den von ihnen bevorzugten Biotopen häufig in großer Zahl findet
