Has anyone had any problems with man-eating cockroaches recently? I encountered a rather large one on my way to work this morning, though it ran away before I was able to kill it. Judging from the brief time I spent fighting it off, it seems fairly inept and shouldn't pose much threat to those who are used to fighting, but I would like to

By the mall-district side elevator, on the sixth level.

I DON'T WANT TO BE EATEN! I'M TOO YOUNG AND PRETTY TO DIE!

Please calm down, Kaoru. I don't think there's any reason for you to be worried as long as you're careful.

But... but I am defenseless!

Surely you have friends who could help you out?

[youresoshort]

Man-eating cockroaches?

[congenialsinner]

Apparently.

[youresoshort]

I see. That certainly is disturbing...

What exactly did they look like?

[congenialsinner]

One would be fairly difficult to miss. I would guess the one I encountered was about fifteen feet long. One insectoid, cockroach-shaped head in the usual place, and a smaller, human-shaped head just below it.

Perhaps they're just another species on the ship.

[congenialsinner]

It's certainly possible, though it's the first time since I've been here that anyone has shown such an active interest in consuming me.

[sturmnbatarangs]

That might just be a problem, then. How big did you say they are?

[congenialsinner]

Ah, I didn't. I would hazard to guess the one I encountered was about three meters long.

This isn't a common occurance then?

[congenialsinner]

It isn't, no.

[notonurplane]

... I see. I assumed they were simply another species on the ship; however, the one That ambushed me seemed relatively competent.

[congenialsinner]

Oh? Where were you when that happened?
