Cricket
If you look carefully at all that battle damage, you might see a cricket in there somewhere.
I have to wonder what happened to this cricket that she lost a leg, most of one wing, part of the other, and even part of her… um… whatever those butt-spike thingies are called? Whatever it was, she survived, so you can make the case that she is, at the end of the day, actually pretty lucky. Here she is, looking pregnant and ready to inject some eggs with that huge ovipositor of hers.
It rained a couple of days ago, and this little lady decided to stop into our new office building to dry off. Her run of good fortune held true, as I was there to stop a coworker from squooshing her. In fact, I made said coworker trap her under a cup while I got a camera to take her picture.
I love her eyes. It looks like she’s wearing a helmet and peeping out from behind dark lenses. With all that battle damage, it’s not too hard to imagine a tiny little respirator going shkoooo-PAAAA as she relentlessly tries to hunt the cricket jedi order to extermination….
Slowly getting the site back onto an even keel. It's nice to get back into the old posting rhythm.

So, what you’re saying is that you just saved the Sith, and now they’re going to go exterminate all the Jedi, causing mass fear, destruction, death, and subjugation among the cricket world.
You will be held as a hero and remembered for your deeds, until some day, one of the sons that Darth Cricket forgets to eat rises up to defeat her and her dark master. The tyranny will be over, and there shall return balance to the Chirrup.
May the Chirrup be with you.

Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to leaving the basement door open. And leaving the basement door open lets in the crickets…
