Dr. Lilith Falkner-Ruiz kept her finger over the button.  It would only be right.  One light push and her parasitic wasps would fly free on six continents.  Without natural predators, modified and bred for resistance to pesticides and pathogens, nothing would stop them.  They would mate and the females would lay their eggs in humans.  The next generation would grow in their human hosts, eating them before escaping the carcasses.  She called them Lilith wasps, both for herself and because they would torment Mankind.

Fitting.  A plague to end a plague.

Humanity deserved it.  After they had raped the earth, they had no right to it any longer.  Mass extinctions.  The ozone layer.  Global climate change.  Deforestation.  Strip mining.  The only species that hunted for sport.  Their sins were myriad.

So why then did she hold back?

Dr. Lilith Falkner-Ruiz kept her finger over the button and stayed her hand.
