So far , we had never taken a brain Bug alive . We had either cleaned out colonies from the surface , as on Sheol , or ( as had too often been the case ) raiders had gone down their holes and not come back . A lot of brave men had been lost this way .
До сих пор мы ни разу не брали мозгового жука живым. Мы либо счистили колонии с поверхности, как на Шеоле, либо (как это часто бывало) рейдеры ушли в свои норы и не вернулись. Так погибло много храбрых людей.
