Dead Bang chapter 7

[Glidergun]

On an unrelated note, it's something only other players of Magic: the Gathering can really understand, but I briefly misread "Silver Yoshida" as "%7C%7Ctype=+[Sliver]%7C%7Csubtype=+[Sliver]%7C%7Ctext=+[Sliver]Sliver Yoshida" and feared for the safety of the multiverse.

The one with the "snake-like head"? Yeah, that could be a problem. Fortunately, there's just the one, and slivers aren't really a big deal until there's a bunch running around.
On the other hand, when there are a bunch running around, they are probably one of the scariest things around. There is very little I would trust to reliably deal with a full-blown infestation of slivers.

The really frightening thing is that slivers, even at their most cunning, have an animal's psyche. One is a pest; if enough of them get together they become kaiju-class, but they're kaiju-class pests: you can still distract them with food or something shiny. Sliver Yoshida would introduce true tool-using intelligence to the Hive, elevating their threat level considerably.

Well, giving slivers intelligence would raise their threat level in the short term, but it would make them less dangerous in the long run. An intelligent being can be negotiated with. The Rathi slivers weren't a big deal, because the Sliver Queen was keeping them in check. The slivers only became civilization-ending threats on Otaria and Time Spiral-era Dominaria, where they didn't have anything more than the instinct to survive and expand guiding them.
