Neal meanwhile rolled his eyes as Allan started nerding out over the giant killer insect, while inwardly he made sure to pay attention to Ursea's answer, it could prove useful in case the abomination turned hostile and needed to be put down or at least distracted. At this he also started studying the creature, looking for anything that might prove to be a weak point.
"Shoot it?" he thought to himself "Ideal answer, however natural armour might prove formidable. Pistol's not an option, carbine would be best. Knife it? Where though? Underside looks weak, but so are my intestines, don't want to be under it. Might have to wrestle it, not ideal, probably be hugged to death, death by Suu-Suu too embarrassing to be acceptable. Kurg might get angry, smaller but bone and muscle much denser than mine. Neck snap? No, neck muscles too tense, might think I'm massaging it, probably try to sleep with me then. Pelvic bones would be crushed, testicles atomized, not even my type. Unacceptable. Only chance is range."
All these thoughts went through Neal's head in an instant, though he made sure to keep his expression mild still and keep up his mental chaff. He then noticed the giant cat creature, Khrelan, nod off in the corner. Well that was just playing right into the stereotype, all that was missing was a sunbeam.
Neal leaned forward, snapping out the words in his officer's voice "Mittens! Wake up! Are we boring you?"
