Thanks for the replies to the last part I love reading what all you have to say!
Part 21
Liz POV
"Well if it isn't our old friend Deck." Alec said sarcastically.
"Hello 494. I am not here as the head of Manticore I am here as a person who does not want their kids to get killed." Lydecker said. I could tell that Alec wanted to roll his eyes at the comment but he refrained from doing so.
"Yeah and why do I not want to believe that?" Max said sarcastically her arms folded across her chest in defiance.
"It's not me you have to worry about 452. I am just one man and Manticore is no longer your enemy. It's the Familiars you have to worry about. They are coming and will not stop until all transgenic, Antrians and Skins are out of their way." Donald Lydecker said exactly what he said in my vision.
"Who are the familiars?" I asked.
"I am glad to see that your passion for knowledge has not changed 513." Lydecker said causing me to cringe on the inside…I know better then to show weakness.
"Just answer the question Lydecker." Logan said the old military man just rolled his eyes at Logan.
"They are the first. They are a group of advanced humans who bread to form a superior race they have been around since the begging of time, we can trace them back all the way to ancient Egypt, they were the first genetically superior beings." Lydecker said.
"Wait so there is more like us out there?" Max asked.
"No they were not crossed with animals they were born like this and bread so that more of their kind will come about. They are very different from a transgenic they are not fond of humans, in fact they bread so that they can one day wipe out all humans with a disease and all that will be left is their race." Lydecker said.
"Wait but I thought transgenics were immune to diseases and pathogens?" Logan asked.
"Yes and so are the Antrians and Skins, which is why the familiars want them gone." Lydecker said.
"Okay so why do they not like humans?" Maria asked.
"Well they think humans are weak and a nuisance. You see they did not know about transgenics until about a year ago. When they found out they went and started to cook up something to get
ride of all of you. The interesting part is that the creator of transgenics is in fact a familiar." Lydecker said.
"So why would a familiar create a race that could do the same things as his race?" Isabel asked.
"Because he did not like what the cult was up to." I said causing everyone to look at me.
"What?' Michael asked.
"Think about why else would this guy go against his people?" I asked making Lydecker smirk.
"Yeah I mean if your entire race hates humans why would you create something that protects them?" Alec asked.
"Listen I know that none of you are fond of me, but I need your help…the world needs your help. The familiars are a very nasty race they look human, but they are not. They have powers that can exceed that of any alien, you all are the only ones who stand a chance." Lydecker said.
"So let me catch up here. You want us to help you get rid of these familiars thus saving the world?" Zack asked.
"Yes." Lydecker said.
"Let us think about it." I said not wanting to make this decision with out thinking it through.
"All right. If you want to get in contact with me you can find me at eagle rock military base. Leave the guards with your barcode and they will let you in." Lydecker said motioning for the soldiers to follow.
"Eagle Rock?" Isabel asked quietly a look of fear on her face after Lydecker's departure.
"Oh no." Maria said.
"Well it looks like on way or another all of us are going back to the one place we never wanted to see again." I said dread washing over me.
"And where is that?" Logan asked.
"The white room." Michael said in a whisper.
