I guess I am going to run with the concept of being in on a drop when it becomes appropriate.  Part of a rescue party....could be interesting if the government had a clue about the breeding program and deliberately had a female squad put in harm's way to get captured.  The only way scientist could study a hybrid would be to capture one.  What better way than to bring some impregnated females back?  Well in a sick twisted Aliens sort of logic :P  Being sadistic, this would make me not very much better than the bugs :D  Of course, just because that is the plan, doesn't mean it is going to work and Ian avoids a horrible fate or has to make some fateful choices.  Would a female want to be rescued by a platoon that wants to keep them as incubators?  Would that kind of "rescue" free them, or just bring them in trapped in their cocoon to observe.....the bugs recovering them might be a preferred fate....somebody would be really pissed if they figured out they were set up to have this happen to them....<br/><br/>Anyway, I am just brainstorming here and will work in anyway you all want.  I can be just a dope that gets captured :p
