After that, the unit searched the entire outpost and figured out what had happened. The bugs had dug a tunnel during mealtime and charged straight in, wiping out every soldier in the outpost before anyone could react. They also found a general who had been scared nearly out of his mind. According to him, not only could these bugs dig tunnels, they had even used some unimaginable method to control one of his soldiers' brains and make him send a distress signal to headquarters!
In other words, these bugs were intelligent!!
