Basic idea

• Desert Locusts (Schistocerca gregaria) were created by sarkics as a weapon against the daevites in sieges. Destroyed morale and crops.
• Problem is that the locusts are here still and are impossible to eradicate because they spontaneously generate (primary anomaly)
• Story will follow the containment saga, which will include stops in
  • some battle in Asia, Sarkic v Daevite
    • revealed in retrospect
  • Egypt for the biblical plague
    • in retrospect and in passing
  • Ethiopia famine from 1634-35
    • in retrospect and in passing
  • Swarm of 1915 in Ottoman Palestine
    • initial containment by Ottomans
  • 1926-34 swarm
    • mentioned in passing
  • 1940-63 swarm
    • primary containment plot will happen here
  • 1987-89 swarm
    • Further containment
