She saw his ship arrive and knew another thief was on the prowl. She sensed his intentions as he drew near and struck without warning. Leaping from her comfortable shadows, she paralyzed him with a psychic blast and stared long into his soul, searching for his deepest lustful wish. Through his training, the attack only lasted a mere 4 seconds before he was able to shake it off and adapt, absorbing any further attacks with his impeccable psionic abilities. Little known to her however, she leapt high in the air and again, attempted to stifle his movement but the attack was deflected back toward her and she remained suspended in the air. Approaching her, he peered long and deep, and saw the anguish of lonliness and reaped her soul, setting the Chericleps free from the endless pain she endured. Merciful and victorious, he calmly walked to her nest, grabbed an egg, and departed from the planet.
