I haven't finished the chapter as I write this, but it occured to me a few pages in that those orbs might be orbees.
If you don't know, orbees are little pellets which absorb water like crazy and swell massively...
They're a bit big to be orbees, but if they are, That bitch's stomach is going to rupture, or she'll puke, probably both.
IT IS ORBEES! (in effect) HOLY SHIT SHE DEAD
