Jackdaw released the trigger as the horde came to a screeching halt. For a massive army to come to a halt in unison; it reminded her much of a hivemind. She of course had no actual idea as to the make up of the insects' structure, but to her, a move like that was indicative of a higher power. She scanned the immediate horde for any odd-looking ones, though quit the idea immediately. Why would a leader put themselves amongst the drones? If something was controlling them, or commanding them, it couldn't be too close. 

She stepped back as the colonists began to poor the tar-like substance down the side of the walls. Fire? Maybe. Not a bad idea, though she wished they'd have led with that, really. With a few brief moments of peace, she dropped the empty clip from her pistol and reloaded.
