The Foreman's Plans (OPR Writing Jam 8)

When trapped on an uncharted world surrounded by swarming alien bugs, with angry orc spaceships closing in from the stars, what is the best solution? To focus on the orcs closing in for the kill and risk the teeth of the bugs, or to wipe out the swarming hordes first and risk being finished off by orbital bombardments? 
If you're Dwarven Foreman Giltentooth, when given two equally lethal choices you try to find a third option. 
A third option however, isn't always a better option...
