Capsuled protection

Blending in with their surroundings to avoid detection

A newly introduced enemy in search of new sustenence

Those hiding are the perfect product

A defense only large enough to destroy a few ships

Leaving the smart or maybe not living in capsules

Consumption will start when enough are collected

Many living out of sight

Not leaving until enemies pass

With most of the army in defense gone, those hiding are to fend for themselves

Defenseless to whats coming

Few get found, but most survive

Eventually their resources will diminish

If home is destroyed it will be a total loss

To give up, flee, or pass away

Which one shall it be?

The species can't live much longer without outside help

So isolated no one will hear their call
