Kjon's Audio Diary Log
June 30, 2621
So after our eventful fight with Zell-oah, we took a break for a couple days to give ourselves some time to clean up, heal, and just rest. We still had a job to do cleaning up the remaining bad bloods there were, but most of them had been rounded up and taken to the storage hangar, which Ch'ris and I had hollowed out to serve as our prison. That and Zell-oah was finally in the can with them, so all of the really hard work was finished. Like I said before there were still a few bad bloods on the planet, as well as Zell-oah's army which needed to be addressed, but without their leader I was positive they were all a confused and disorganized unit. I had no doubt it would be dealt with in short order. It was time we sat down for a little and just vegetate; give ourselves a pat on the back over a good couple weeks worth of hard work. I will say it was more rewarding than what Charles and his Task Force did.
I also had some new friends to spend the weekend with, which was a treat I hadn't had in a long time, and I embraced it. Everyone was a little to caring over my injuries, especially Jenny, but I'd be hypocritical to say I wasn't a little worried about them myself, since they had taken more of a beating during the fight with Zell-oah. That's also what made me love them. They were individuals who cared and comforted those they loved. What else are friends for? Yeah, I enjoyed that break. You can also bet I gave God and his merciful son ,Jesus thanks for it as well. After all they'd helped us accomplish, and the peace they gave us, they deserved my praise and way more of it. Jenny also made sure to do the same.
I got to spend a little more time with Jenny and talk about her interests, and get to know her a little more. Sure we had talked some during the time we spent hunting the shadows and during the time I trained her, but I wasn't as open or talkative at the time. I still didn't want to be close to her because I didn't want to lose anyone else I cared about. I also didn't get much time to interact with her like that when I finally did open up. Plus it's always a good thing to know about the people you care about and what their interests are and to share the same about yourself if you want to be friends with them. Jenny knew all of this and so did I, so it wasn't to awkward when I asked her what she liked. It was kind of weird to ask, especially since I never really cared to ask questions like that, and we'd kissed before we even knew that much about ourselves, but we were aware of this and it actually went very well.
Jenny knew most of my interests which were, listening to good music, exercising, reading books (mostly my Bible), weapons training and modifications, and smoking. Embarrassingly I had also forgotten about the pack of ciggies I'd found in the APC before she was abducted, which I did begin to smoke right as I remembered them. She also knew I enjoyed spending time with those I cared about, and although I was an introvert, I wasn't a loner by choice, and I did care about spending time with those I loved.
When it came to my knowledge about her though, that was different. I knew she was book smart, and that she also cared about the well-being of those she cared about as well, but I really didn't know all that much else. Through some interaction I found out she was a botanist, has a Phd in Xenology, was the person that made Agent-X, which I'd already known about, but accepted it as if it were new knowledge at the time just for her. I also discovered she is into math, has A.D.D. which I'd also already known about, and I was also surprised to learn she had an android for a sister ,Bethany. I learned a lot about Jenny those couple few days. It was also pleasing to know that although her success with Agent-X was used to help Weyland Yutani save it's assets, she intended for it to be used to help the Task Force ,who she thought were the good guys at the time, combat the shadows and save lives, which it did. The neurotoxin also helped save a lot of marines too. Jenny was a smart girl, and she did what she could because she wanted to help others, and although her product was misused that wasn't her fault. Fck an A, you can't blame her for trying. The more I got to know about her the more I loved her.
After our time of rest was over, and we all determined we were in proper fighting shape, we landed back on the surface and easily took out the remaining bad bloods. Without Zell-oah to guide them, they were just as dysfunctional as I suspected they were. It took us a bit of time, but with our stronger team of five, including Sa-v'ar, we weeded them all out in pretty short order. Those that Ch'ris and Rachelle didn't skin or fashion trophies out of were locked away with Zell-oah and her team. After they did that, I took that moment to survey the bad bloods equipment. The one bad blood that Ch'ris and I had interrogated had told us they'd stolen some supplies from other honorable clans, and I was curious. I had no doubt in my mind that he was telling the truth, which he was. There must have been well over eight tons of equipment alone in each of their ships, and all of it from more than twenty different clans. I could only imagine how well the rest of Zell-oah's army was supplied given how much we found with just this relatively small army of hunters. Obviously we couldn't just leave all of this stuff lying right here for the taking. That would have been inconsiderate and dishonorable. I especially wasn't about to let Charles get his filthy blood-stained paws on any of this.
"Hey Ch'ris, what are we gonna do with all of this?" I asked bringing it to his attention.
"We do not know." Ch'ris answered unsure once he saw the massive load. He turned to look at Rachelle who was also undecided on the subject. They hadn't thought this far ahead. Obviously they weren't about to leave it here either, but they couldn't just take it. I mean they could have, but they were still working on restoring honor to their clan. Taking all of this for themselves would only continue to stain them with dishonor. But they didn't seem sure that taking it back was the right decision either. They were still outcasts from society, and they knew that the honorable clans would not be happy to see their faces on sacred ground, even if they were doing a good deed.
I saw the nervous look in Ch'ris' eye as I gave my suggestion. "Why don't you take it back?" I queried. He and Rachelle looked at each other once again more nervous this time than before.
"We can not do that. We are still outcast from our home world. They will not accept us, even if we do this." He explained.
"Sounds to me like you guys are fighting for something you can't even get your hands on." I replied. Why were they bothering to try and restore the clan to it's honorable status when he just said that it wasn't possible? To be fair, I think he meant to say that they wouldn't be welcome, but that's just how I interpreted Ch'ris' explanation.
"Why are you doing everything that you are now to restore your clan if you know they won't accept you?" Jenny simplified. Ch'ris and Rachelle stood there nervously with their heads downcast. They were afraid. Sure they were brave enough to risk their lives to uphold their honorable principles, but when it came to asking for forgiveness, they were like timid little children. To be fair though, Yatja Prime and all of the clans inhabiting it are very high on their code of honor, which they uphold with strict reverence, so I really couldn't blame them for being shy.
"We aren't trying to make you guys feel uncomfortable. We're just curious. Why?" I told them. They still didn't reply. "I know you and Rachelle are worried, but look around you. This is your guys' chance to prove yourselves, and redeem your clan. I'm just saying-" I told my friend as I stood up and rested my hand on his shoulder. I was about to finish my statement before something caught my attention. One of the bio-masks seemed familiar to me. I couldn't put my finger on it, but I got this strange feeling of deja vu as I saw it. I picked up the bio-mask, and starred at it.
"What's the matter ,Jon?" Jenny asked stepping towards me with mild concern in her voice. I didn't answer her and took my bio-mask off to examine the one in my hand with better vision. As I looked at the item with confused intent, I felt something that had been etched on the side of the mask. I growled curiously as I turned it over to see what it was. My perplexed look suddenly widen in recognition. It was the mark of my clan. I could tell since my armor had the same markings on them including my bio-mask and my uncle's smart disc. I looked at some of the other containers, and began tearing them off the shelves. "Jon. What is it? What's wrong?" Jenny continued to ask growing more concerned each time she asked. Once I finally found more of my clan's technology and weapons I stopped tearing through the containers and knelt down to take in what I'd just discovered.
"Some of this stuff belongs to my clan." I said as a reply, before bringing my bio-mask up to the other one and examined their symbols side-by-side. They matched perfectly. I looked over my shoulder at my friends, who were somewhat surprised, although in retrospect it couldn't have been that big of a coincidence to them. I on the other hand, was stoked. They could tell by the look I gave that this had become personal. I returned my focused look to the masks as my friends stood over me to examine the evidence themselves.
"Jon. Are you alright?" Jenny asked me once more, this time with less concern.
"I-I'm fine. I'm-." I stuttered an answer truthfully, before looking up to ponder for a moment. I had just stumbled upon something important, not just to myself, but to Mom. We were just as dishonorable, if not even more dishonorable than Ch'ris and Rachelle were. I was trying to restore Mom's honor just as Ch'ris and Rachelle were doing for their clan. My clan probably didn't even know that Mom had survived or that I even existed, but I still felt a feeling of personal responsibility wash over me as I thought about it. I'd had to live for so long bearing the pain Mom had for dishonoring the clan, and the agonizing thought that she was never able to find relief from it, or be able to clear her name. The clan would have exiled or executed her without question had they found out, about her disgraceful actions. Her capture, her allowing our technology to fall into the hands of Weyland Yutani, and raising me, an Abomination. But this would be able to change all of that. This was not just Ch'ris' and Rachelle's opportunity, by also my chance. My chance to restore Mom's name. My chance to find closure and give her soul peace. I had thought about accompanying Ch'ris and Rachelle for this to offer them support and aid just as they had done for me, but now I was definitely coming with them. "Mom." I whispered as the thought of her entered my head.
"Kjon?" Rachelle called my name.
"This is from my clan. I have to return it." I said before looking at Ch'ris and his wife. They were the only ones I could turn to. After a moment of awkward starring, Ch'ris looked at his wife and thought about the situation as it was.
"Look at it this way, if they refuse you then at least you can't say you didn't try to do something honorable for them. And if so what do you have to lose?" Jenny remarked. She had a very interesting point, which worked with amazing affect. Their faces stiffened and they gave each other a unshaken nod. This was a once in a lifetime opportunity knocking right at their front door, and they were going to take it. They looked at me with their unwavering faces and gave me the same nod.
"Thank-you." I replied to them with a grateful smile.
"No, thank you ,friend. You do not know how much this means to me or my father." He told me resting his hands on mine.
"You don't know how much this will mean to my mother ,Hunter Brother." I pronounced with an honorable bow to him. Ch'ris accepted my gesture and we gave each other a gracious man-hug, as we accepted each other as brothers.
"It is an honor ,Hunter Brother." He repeated with a smile, before bowing to me respectfully.
I turned my attention back over to Jenny as she watched us pronounce each other as Hunter Siblings before giving a sighed growl in realization. "Crap. I forgot."
"Forgot about what?" Jenny questioned as she stepped up to me.
"I forgot that I still need to take you home." I said in a dispirited frown. Even though this was only a short waste of time, I didn't want to inconvenience Ch'ris, but more importantly I didn't want to say good-bye to Jenny. But I still made a promise, and like I've mentioned before, whenever I make a promise I keep that promise.
"It's okay Jon. I want to come with you." She said which surprised me. "I'm honestly pretty curious, and I'd like to see your world. Besides I would like to spend a little more time with you guys." Jenny answered the puzzled look I gave.
"Are you sure? I mean I promised you I would-?" I asked her before she held her fingers over my mandibles.
"And I know you will. But I want to come with." Jenny said, giving me a sweet flirtatious smile, that was made her look even more adorable. You can pretty much tell how effectively that worked. I didn't ask any questions and responded with a smile and a soft growl of approval. What could I say? She wanted to come with and I didn't want to let her go. Besides, how could I say no to those beautiful violet eyes?
"Are you ready Hunter Brother?" Ch'ris asked.
"What do we need to do?" I asked him with a ready smirk.
Once we loaded all of the bad blood's necessary provisions into our ship like food, water, and medicine, which we were going to need given how many captives we had, Ch'ris remotely hooked up the bad bloods ships to his. He was able to accomplish this task by typing in a sequence of launch codes he found inside the ships. After typing them down on his wristbracer, he then placed it inside of a compartment in the pilot's deck of his ship. The compartment read the codes on the wristbracer, which then sent a link to the other ships. This essentially allowed them to lift off once we did and follow us to Yatja Prime. This made our task a heck of a lot simpler.
As Ch'ris took control of the ship and lifted us off, Jenny zestfully beckoned me to watch the lift off with her. I joined my energetic girlfriend, and watched as we ,and the other ships that were remotely tethered to ours, left the atmosphere. I will admit I did not expect the lift off to take such a short amount of time, which made it a little uncomfortable for me to watch. Thankfully though I'd been on more troublesome lift offs, and combat drops, inside of a dropship. I wrapped my arm around Jenny's shoulder and brought her close to me, right as she wrapped her arm around my waist, and curled her tail around my leg. That was the best part of the whole launch. We continued to watch our world grow smaller and smaller until it vanished into the endless sea of stars that gave light to the surrounding void of darkness. Watching as we floated effortlessly past the endless sea of lights was a breathtaking experience, that also added to the beauty of the scene. I'd never seen anything like it before really. Yes, I'd gone off world before, but I never had the chance to see it like this, nor was I able to do it with the most beautiful girl I knew standing next to me.
"It's beautiful isn't it?" Jenny thought the same. She later explained that she went on several journeys to other planets. The stories she told me of the other worlds and all of the details she exposited about them were enthralling to hear. From the mountainous plains of MH529, to the volcanic tropical zones of TS924, and even the reconstituted multi-biomes of Earth that Weyland Yutani was able to fix up after the Oomans took it back from the shadows. I must admit that for as much as I hated the company and it's fascination with the shadows, I cannot deny that they have done some good before.
"Yes, it is." I answered her with an agreeing smile. That smile only intensified as I starred down at her. Even though the view of the black void around us with it's many luminous stars and galaxies were beautiful to see, Jenny was what made that whole experience so delightful. To me, she was even more wonderful and captivating than what was outside. She had given me happiness that I hadn't felt in a long time, which was something I'd missed so much that I almost forgot what it felt like. She picked me up when I was struggling. She saved me from myself. To me her selflessness, caring nature, and innocence was what made her so attractive to me, although if I must be completely honest, she is very very cute. She noticed me smiling down at her, and returned with a affectionate smirk of her own. I lifted her up to my head holding one arm under her for her to sit on, and my other around her back, which extended to her head. She was a little off-put by my quick movement, but she understood I was just showing her affection, and she graciously accepted it. I spent that moment starring at her enchanting purple eyes that I couldn't help but fall in love with as they sparkled, reflecting the starlight's gleam.
"What is it Jon?" Jenny asked wondering why I was starring at her. She wasn't upset, or uncomfortable, just a little curious.
"It's your eyes. They're so beautiful, I just can't take my eyes off of them." I answered with a sheepish laugh.
"So are yours ,Jon." She told me. She'd told me this before, although I couldn't really see the appeal since they were just my eyes.
Our intimate moment continued in uninterrupted silence for a moment before I spoke again. "You know Jenny, you are the most beautiful girl I've ever laid eyes on." She exhaled a soft chuckle as I said that. "I mean it. I have never met a woman that is like you before, ever. You are just the most gorgeous girl I have ever seen. And I'm not saying that just because I think you look hot, and I will admit you do, but I also think that you are beautiful for who you are. You are so selfless, thoughtful, kind, loving, and considerate, and it's just baffling to understand how God could make anything more beautiful than what I see when I look into those eyes of yours." I told her truthfully, with that stupid smile still wrapped around my mandibles. My words had a pleasing affect on her. I could see her cheeks blush with pleasant embarrassment after I told her that.
"Jon. That's so sweet of you." She told me not knowing how else to respond to my compliment. I felt my body temperature rise as we softly pulled each other closer together for a warm kiss. I felt her arms and tail tighten as she clutched me. I tightened my hold on her as well with protective softness, just to make sure nothing took her from me.
"I love you R'ka Gkei'moun Bhu'ja (Fire Angel)." She told me before we kissed. She'd taken to calling me that since she first came up with it after our fight with Zell-oah.
"I love you too Pyode Tarei'hsan." I told her with a soft loving growl after we kissed. After our cuddle session ended I gently sat Jenny down. "Come on, let's go back so Ch'ris and Rachelle don't catch us." I said in a sarcastic blush, that made Jenny laugh.
And that (at the time) is when I considered the happiest days of my life began.
Now even though our break had extended, kind of, we still had responsibilities that needed to be taken care of around the ship like cooking, cleaning, and watching over the prisoners. I was especially high on the cleaning part. Even when it wasn't my task to do so, which it never really was. I always made sure I cleaned up whatever mess I found even if Jenny and I didn't make it. Just because we were guests, that didn't mean that Ch'ris and Rachelle were hotel staff. I'm just not that type of person. Everyone took turns with those types of chores.
As for me I didn't really have any of those duties since I was assigned warden duty. After having watched over the prisoners, Ch'ris found out that the only one they were scared of was me. So as per Ch'ris' orders-as it was his ship after all-I was given the task of watching over our prisoners. I didn't argue with the nomination and took the task with a gracious attitude. It also gave me the chance to do my exercises.
When it came to the inmates, however, I was anything but gracious. Whenever they fought, which they did fairly often, mostly over food, since we didn't feed them as often as we ate, I would go in and stop that sht. And whenever they tried to bribe me, that's when things got interesting. When they tried this, I would always report it to Ch'ris and ask for a suggestion on a punishment, and whatever he recommended I did. It always varied from relinquishing their food, to giving them worse beatings, sometimes I'd even use blunt objects to do it. It helped that Ch'ris and I had the bad bloods in several cages rather than just let them roam together in one cell. That allowed me to punish them without having to worry about being ganged up on, not that they would've done that anyway. They were terrified of me, and they knew better than to try and pick a fight with me. Zell-oah I kept a special close eye on during the trip. I knew she was a smart and dangerous individual, so I made sure to keep tabs on her often just to make sure she wasn't pulling some sht. Even though she never tried, I still didn't let her off like that. I was paranoid like that.
When Ch'ris, Rachelle, and Jenny were finished with their duties and I had time to spend with them, I spent it with them. We created moments for ourselves that we all look back on fondly just for how much we enjoyed spending time with each other, which was the whole idea. Just to spend time with each other and have a good time, plane and simple. We exercised together (sometimes it was just me and Jenny), played board games (and yes, Yatja do have those too), polished trophies (one of which was the Predalien I'd stabbed in the brain that Ch'ris saved for me), we'd listen to some music on my iPhone, and I even had some movies recorded on my bio-mask that we'd watch.
The footage was in this orangish black and white tint, and it was very shaky since this was of me watching the movies as they played, but the footage was legible, and the audio was easy to listen to. Ch'ris and Rachelle didn't even have a problem with it since they are colorblind as most other Yatja are, except for me given my modifications allow me to see colors like Oomans can. We watched Dirty Harry, Heartbreak Ridge, Kelly's Heroes, the Die Hard series, like I said I'm a fan of Clint Eastwood and Bruce Willis. we even watched plenty of horror films. Ch'ris and Rachelle especially enjoyed the Halloween and Scream movies. But the franchise I most enjoyed rewatching were all the Friday the 13th films, except for Freddy vs Jason and the remake since I didn't have those. I also excluded movies eight through ten since I would just like to forget those movies never even happened, especially movie nine. (I mean come on, Jason Voorhees is not a deadite demon, he's a revenant serial killer who haunts Crystal Lake, PERIOD!) My criticism aside, we had fun. Jenny was not a big fan of them though, which I kind of expected, but she did enjoy alot of the action movies and she at least had fun with some of the horror stuff, mostly for my sake I believe. When we went through the Nightmare on Elm Street series however, her tone changed drastically. She actually enjoyed those movies. I liked them myself, although for as cool as the dream world was, and how intense some of the scenes were, I am not a fan of Freddy Krueger. I just don't like child murderers. Jenny had a blast with the series though, for it's ingenious world building, the enduring characters, and especially Robert Englund's energetic portrayal as Freddy Krueger. She herself was a little energetic herself during the trip so I could see how she could enjoy the movies.
I would be hypocritical if I didn't mention I liked the Friday movies for similar reasons. I love the world building, and the characters despite how simple they are, but I mostly enjoy them because of Jason Voorhees, who I relate to. We both got royally screwed when we were kids, we are both very ugly, we both arguably lost our mothers at a young age, and we are very good at killing, although I don't kill Oomans. It's just something I noticed while watching the movies. They are basically nothing more than needless time wasting entertainment though. What more can I say, we all have stuff we like to geek out over.
Despite all of this our trip didn't go without a few problems. I was still having episodes of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and as a safety precaution I was locked away in one of the rooms of the ship, whenever I had to sleep, or whenever something triggered an episode. Once it was over, Jenny would step inside and give me some comforting attention, which I always appreciated. The attention wasn't just for me but for her as well since I'd always worry her whenever I was like this, so our comfort cuddling helped to relieve the both of us. And that was how we handled it. I should also mention that Jenny did sneak into my room through the vents, and would cuddle me on occasion. I didn't like it since I could've had a nightmare which would've triggered an episode, but she was adamant. I begrudgingly agreed to let her stay under the condition that if I was having an episode she would retreat into the vents. There was no way I could make her leave so that was the least I could do. She agreed and that's how it went. Fortunately I never had any nightmares when she crept in with me.
Now although this doesn't have any relevance, I just want to bring it up for memory sake. We were all in the living room of the ship when it happened. I was nonchalantly listening to music on my iPhone with everyone else when Jenny asked me something unexpected.
"Hey Jon do you have any slow songs on that?"
"Yeah why?" I answered her with a curiously raised eyebrow.
"I was wondering if you'd like to dance?" She said as she raised her tail up in anticipation. That took me by surprise. I felt my mandibles blush and my eyes widen with embarrassment as she asked me this. Ch'ris and Rachelle's presence only added to my discomfort. I made a nervous laugh to try and hide my shy look, which only exposed it more.
"What's the matter ,Jon?" Jenny asked noticing my unease.
"What is the matter ,Hunter Brother? Your Ooman asked you if you may dance with her? What is wrong with that?" Ch'ris asked noticing my nervousness as well. A little more amazingly he knew why I was embarrassed. This was just to humiliating. Here I was a seven and a half foot tall humanoid alien, who could take on several shadows at once and kill all of them with only a machete and my bear hands, (and I wasn't even an adult Yatja yet) yet here I was cowering away because I was afraid to dance with my girlfriend.
"If you don't want to that's fine ,Jon. I was just wondering if you'd like to." Jenny answered.
"No, no, no. I-it's not you ,Jenny. I-it's just... No one has actually ever asked me that before. I once went to a social function, it was an anniversary of the Colonial Marine Corp you know, and it had a whole bunch of guys and gals there. They had dances and stuff, and I wanted to dance with some of the pretty girls that were there, but... Yeah, who knew that having mandibles would make you look so handsome." I explained with painful sarcasm. "It's also not that I don't want to dance... especially with you, which I'd like to... I just... I don't know how to ,either." I stuttered stupidly.
"That's okay ,babe. Here I'll teach you." She said before abruptly taking me by the hand and pulled me off my seat, which took me by complete surprise. I didn't dare try to struggle with her, and I just let her lead me along. "Alright so what you want to do is take my hand like this, and you wrap your other arm around my waist. I put my other hand on your shoulder, and we just sway back and forth to the music. Like this." We began to move gently back and forth as she instructed me. "Yes, like that." She told me.
My embarrassment met no end, as Ch'ris and Rachelle prepared to dance themselves. "Come ,my Gkei'moun R'ka (Easy Fire). Let us also teach this suckling how it is done." Ch'ris jokingly mocked me. Rachelle accepted his proposal and they starred at me in visible amusement as they began to give a similar demonstration. I leered at them trying to hold back a laugh and failed miserably, which in turn just caused all three of them to laugh.
Once the lesson finished, Jenny scrolled through my iPhone before landing on "Here With Me" by Marshmello. Apparently my irony knew no limitations either. I clicked a blushed growl before taking hold of Jenny with a soft smirk. My feelings of embarrassment quickly fell out of my ears as they were replaced with the musical beat of the song. My smirk also deepened into a gentle grin as Jenny starred back at me with a sweet smile of her own. I also noticed Ch'ris and Rachelle who were finished laughing at my expense, and were now transfixed on themselves, clicking their mandibles affectionately as they starred at each other. The scene caused my heart to soften and pound with a warm and rhythmic beat as it also seemed to dance to the rhythm of the music. As I continued to listen, and focus down on Jenny's gorgeous violet eyes, I suddenly felt like I entered a state of hypnosis. I was so softened and distracted that I paid no attention to Sa-v'ar, who I normally scared into the vents whenever I saw her out. It knew that if I was able to withstand being lit on fire without getting harmed it would be a good idea for it to stay clear of me. But at that moment I didn't care to scare her off. All I was focused on was Jenny. After "Here With Me" finished I put on couple other slow songs I had downloaded on my iPhone and went right back to dancing with Jenny.
Yeah, I can safely say that those were the happiest days of my life.
About a week and a half after we left KJ147 we arrived at Yatja Prime. We quickly received a transmission from some enforcer ships asking us what we were doing here. Their tone of voice was not a happy one. The enforcers knew who we were and were not happy to see us.
Enforcers are Yatja who have the task of pursuing, capturing, and mostly killing bad bloods, and Ch'ris had just walked right up to their front door. Thankfully they were curious why we would willingly come to their home, and decided to ask a few questions first. Ch'ris immediately identified himself and the rest of us to the enforcers, before stating that we were here to return some stolen technology to them, and to beg their forgiveness. After a couple of nerve racking moments the enforcers responded. We were allowed to enter Yatja Prime, although they would be on our tails the whole time we were there. We made no arguments with them and thanked them for giving us this chance.
We'd passed the point of no return. Ch'ris and Rachelle knew this and gave me a mildly worried look, that asked if I was ready. I was a little nervous myself, although I was optimistic about our chances. The enforcers hadn't shot us down yet, and all we were here to do was give back something that belonged to them. What was wrong about that?
"We're going to be fine ,Hunter Brother. Let's say a prayer and do what we came here to do." I suggested in a reassuring manner, as I put my hand on Ch'ris' shoulder. He and Rachelle gave me affirmative nod and each of us took a moment of silence to pray. I asked God that he would allow the clan leaders and the ruling council to be understanding and merciful to us, and that they see our honorable intentions. I also prayed that he would keep us safe and that he would allow Ch'ris and the rest of his clan to be reinstated with the honorable clans, and that I would get the chance to see my clan and recover Mom's honor for her. I said this all the while I held onto Taylor's cross that still dangled around my throat. After ending my prayer with a respectful Amen, I looked down at Jenny who was still in the middle of her prayer. I wrapped a comforting arm around her shoulder and pulled her close to me. I was mostly concerned for her sake. She was just an Ooman surrounded by a group of beings that could easily tear her head off without any effort. I couldn't stand to even think about that. I'd lost her once, I wasn't going to lose her again. In that moment of uncertainty I made a promise. No matter what happened, I would do everything I could to keep Jenny safe. And you know how I am with my promises.
The enforcers had us dock onto a richly colored tropical planet, which I was sure was not as welcoming as it's appearance made it out to be. As I expected, it wasn't.
Alright! Merciful Master Jesus, I never thought that I'd actually make it to this point of the series. So yeah I am finally at the half way point of the whole series. Well kind of. I still have a bit left to do, but I am basically at the half way point. As you can already see the characters are now on Yautja Prime and I have a lot in store for this segment of the series. I'm not going to spoil to much, but I will say that I do intend to add more characters to the series. I will also be keeping the true villain of this part a secret, which will be revealed later on in the story. I also want to mention that I never planned on having this story to be fixed on one plot, but many, which makes things more interesting and brings new challenges to the characters. Also I am including this as part two of part two, since part one had the backstory interviews and the hunt for the xenomorphs, so yeah two plots in one part are my rules for the series. I am also sorry if most of the content is just needless filler, but that's what I was kind of going for in this entry. I felt like I'd put the characters through so much and I felt it would be good if they had a moment of peace, and let them interact with each other and have some fun. Have them do something kind of normal. I do intend to bring some complication between the characters and Yautja Prime, but that is for another time. Again thank-you NeverNeverGirl for the encouraging comments, and I'm glad you're enjoying the series. Also I am curious about what your guys' thoughts of the series are and what your favorite moments are. Anyway thank you guys, please enjoy, and I'll get to the next entry as soon as I can.
