Checkmate

After a long day of battling Bugs, the Roughnecks are called to a mission briefing only to find themselves in the presence of Sky Marshall Sanchez himself. The Sky Marshall confirms the existence of the Bug Queen and assigns Alpha Squad (along with rival Echo Squad) the difficult task of finding and exterminating her. Carl is reassigned to the Roughnecks to aid in the mission, but the squad finds him distant and cold, but with heightened psychic abilities. The Roughnecks are able to fight their way into the Bug Queen's lair only to allow her escape. Unfortunately, she's on her way to Earth.
