I also changed the title because the last title I had for this didn't really fit the outcome

Enjoy


Chapter 6: You didn't say anything about a test

"Did…did that thing just speak English?" one of the marines asked pointing at Eli

The entire crew were just gobsmacked at the fact that one of the aliens had just spoken English almost fluently which was something no one expected.

"Greetings I am captain Nathanial grey of the USS Quatermaine and I welcome you to the Asclepheus" Captain grey said standing in front of the two large Kamad Elites

"Pleasure to meet you captain" Eli said extending a hand; Grey would have shook it if he hadn't realized the kamads hand was massive compared to his, Nathanial then remembered that this was the first contact and he should be as polite as possible.

Captain Grey shook Eli's hand and felt a little awkward about the fact that the size of Eli's hand made him feel like a child shaking an adult's hand.

Eli then turned to Rezeal and sharply elbowed him in the ribs and giving him a glare; Rezeal sighed and retracted his helm revealing his sharp red reptilian eyes.

"Happy now?"

"Stop being rude and say hello" Eli said sternly to his friend

Rezeal hated being scolded like a child especially by his best friend but Eli was his superior on this mission and let out a groan before replying

"Hello" Rezeal said bluntly waving his hand

Eli simply shook his head at this and decided that it be best not to dwell on it, Rezeal was always like this when meeting new people and it was very improbable that it was going to change anytime soon.

"Forgive my friend he is a little….what's the human word? Hard to work with" Eli said looking down on the humans in front of him trying to be as unimposing as could, he knew for a fact that his height could be a little intimidating to other species.

"Excuse me but would you mind if you come with me so I can…you know…..run some tests?" Norma asked sheepishly to the nine foot tall Kamads who looked to each other

"Uh…..of course" Eli said

The two kamads failed to see the look of worry on Sophie's face as she knew what Norma was like with her tests.

"Well Gentlemen I guess Professor Rockwell can give you a tour of the ship and let you know where everything is" Captain Grey said to the two large aliens

"Brilliant, now gents if you would follow me" Norma said leading the two to the tram system to begin their tour, Sophie followed them and hoped that the dam monkey wouldn't ruin things.


It didn't take long for Norma to show Eli and Rezeal around the ship once they hit the tram system, it was strange seeing the Kamads get inside as their heads where almost scraping the ceiling of the trams themselves. The trams where one of the human parts of the ship as they were obviously meant for humans while the ceilings of the hallways where large enough for the kamads to walk normally in, the beings who made the ship first must have been very tall for the ceilings to be that large.

Norma finally got to her lab where she could properly study the kamads physical attributes, on the way here Sophie did warn her not to piss off the large and possibly very dangerous alien warriors by going too far with her tests.

Norma though knew that if these kamads where indeed that tough then her tests would be nothing to be worried about.

Eli was lying down on a chair like one a dentist wold use, Norma insisted that Eli remove some of his heavier gear so that he wouldn't break the thing by sitting on it. So he removed his sword belt, his coat and his right shoulder guard.

"Alright could you remove your bandana please?" Norma asked looming over Eli

Eli removed his bandana to uncover the lower half of his face, to Norma's surprise he looked more human than she expected, his lower jaw however did seem a little 'off' somehow like there was more to it, she did notice his nose was a different to that of a human as it had these strange slits down the sides probably for enhanced smell.

"I'm guessing your sense of smell is above average?" she said gesturing to his nose slits

"Kamads have the best sense of smell in the galaxy" Eli said with pride in his voice

"Interesting, how do I smell?" she asked

"Uuh alright I guess" Eli said a bit confused at this human's behaviour

Norma noticed that when Eli spoke his teeth where pointed indicating he was a carnivore, thought she did want a closer look.

"Could you open wide please?" Norma asked staring at Eli's mouth

"As wide as I can?" he replied

"Yes please" she said exited

Eli then proceeded to open his mouth revealing his serrated teeth but as his out finished opening his lower lips opened up into two large mandibles with two large tusks on the ends (like the reapers from blade2 only his lower jaw is still there) on the pieces of flesh on the inside of his mandibles Norma saw some more slit like openings like the ones on his nose and pieced all this together.

"Are these secondary nostrils?" Norma asked touching the slits on the inside of his mandibles

"Uh huh" Eli grunted with his mouth still wide open

Norma looked closer and began examining the inside of the Kamad's mouth

"This is amazing, I've never seen anything like this before" Norma said fiddling with the insides of Eli's mouth which was seriously beginning to get awkward n his end.

"Are you quite finished?" Rezeal asked as Norma seemed to be enjoying this a bit too much, she came back to her senses and took half of the tools she had in his mouth out.

"Yeah, thanks for that" Norma said with a wide smile

Eli cracked his jaw and retracted his mandibles back into place before putting his bandana back up, the real reason he wore it was because man of the humans on board would probably be threatened by his serrated teeth and nose slits.

"Don't mention it" he said putting his gear back on as the four began walking down the hallway over to the trams

"Now I hope you two won't mind helping me fill out a profile?" Sophie asked

"Profile for what?" Rezeal asked

"Your species, you know like how your lifespan works and your physical capabilities" Norma added

"Of course, I don't see any problems with that" Eli replied

"Ok first of all how does your species lifespan work?" Sophie asked taking out a pen

"Well the best I can explain it is that the more time that passes the slower we age"

"Could you elaborate?"

"Alright, it would only take a few years for a kamad to reach a child stage, about 10 or 20 of your human years and with every stage it takes longer to reach from 100's of years to thousands"

"So how old are you two?"

"I'm 1430 and Rezeal is 1428" Eli said nonchalantly

"…..wow….you look good for being 14 centuries old" Sophie said surprised, the two kamads did look remarkably young for being that old, Norma on the other hand was on cloud nine for she was in the presence of two beings that belonged to an alien race that could reach over a thousand years old, this was shaping out to be an exciting day indeed.

"So in human terms what stage would you be in?" Norma asked

"If we were humans we would be around our mid-20's" Rezeal said

"That young?!" Sophie asked as she wrote it down

"Yeah"

"How old can Kamads get?" Norma asked as they reached the trams

"Well the oldest of our species are around 20,000 years old" Eli said as he stepped into the tram

"20,000 years old?" Sophie and Norma asked simultaneously

"I think its best that you wait for that to sink in before asking more questions" Eli said as the tram doors closed

The two kamads then realized a lot of crew members on the tram were eyeing them awkwardly, some crew even staring at their tails or eyes.

"We are certainly popular today" Rezeal said to his friend

"Really? I never noticed" Eli replied as the tram sped off.


Dr Blair had rushed back to where he had stashed the Xenomorph hosts in order to check up on them, he was wearing the cryo suit again so the cooling systems wouldn't freeze him to death.

He came up to the door and activated the camera he had on the other side, the camera showed the three hosts two of which with holes visible in their chests, the two males had looks of terror frozen on their faces and the holes looked very violently torn apart as if feasted on while the female was unconscious and breathing steadily.

"Must take queens longer to gestate" Blair said to himself

Two large warriors were present in the room looming over the female host as if sniffing her and checking her 'they must be able to sense the queen…fascinating' Blair thought with admiration.

"Is anyone there?" came a female voice from the way Blair came from, Blair quickly put his screen away and got to his feet.

"Over here" he called to the voice

"Oh hey what are you doing here?" said a woman in a cryo suit, Blair looked the woman up and down and saw that she was obviously a mechanic and had come down probably to do some maintenance.

"Just doing a little maintenance on the cooling units, what about you?" Blair asked making up the best lie he could muster

"I just noticed one of the cryo suits was missing and thought to come down and check if anyone was here" she said, this girl was at least 20 and Blair could see through her visor that she was very pretty.

"Oh ok, sorry for worrying you…does anyone know you're down here? I just don't want to get the shaft from the boss" Blair asked

"I get you, nope no one knows, I thought it best to take initiative" the girl said as she and Blair began walking side by side back the way they came

"What's your name?" Blair asked

"Claire, I'm new around" Claire said with a smile, she was indeed a very pretty girl

"Pleasure to meet you Claire" Blair said before he quickly got behind her and wrapped his arms around her neck and put her in a chokehold.

"GAH ghhhnggg" Claire tried to scream but her air got cut off by Blair's strong arms

"I'm sorry about this Claire, I truly am but I can't risk you or anyone else discovering this" Blair whispered to her as he squeezed harder.

"Shh shh shh calm down and go to sleep" Blair whispered

He kept his arms wrapped firmly around her neck as she flailed her arms behind her trying to get free from his grip, Blair kept his hold until her body went limp and her arms fell to her sides.

Blair let go and checked to see whether she was dead or still alive by checking her wrist, on the wrist of the cryo suit was a screen that showed the wearer's vital signs and on Claire's wrist the heart monitor was still going indicating that she was just barely alive.

"Quite the little fighter aren't you?" Blair said with a bit of glee in his voice, he then directed his attention back to the door with the Xeno's inside and smiled.

"I think I have a better use for you pretty" Blair said as he dragged her limp body over to the door.


Claire's eyes fluttered open and she realized she wasn't in her cryo suit anymore, she felt like she couldn't move and her eyes weren't in focus, she blinked a few times to clear them and when she did…..she wished she didn't.

She was suspended on the wall encased in a strange cocoon binding her arms and legs to the wall, she could see the contents of the room in front of her, two Xenomorph warriors had their sights fixed on her every movement and behind them was the corpse of a very beautiful woman with a gaping hole in her chest, but the thing that stood out the most was the creature cleaning itself up beside the corpse was the body of a Xenomorph with a large head crest with a few extra arms suspended in the air with a very large egg sac attached to its abdomen.

'Oh god please no' Claire thought with dread as the queen squeezed an egg out of its sack which one of the warriors quickly retrieved and set down right in front of Claire who was struggling to get free with no avail, as the egg began to open Claire was paralyzed with fear and couldn't look away from the horrible sight as something emerged from the egg covered in goo.

Claire was about to scream her lungs out but the creature leapt out and latched onto her face wrapping its tail around her throat and its digits around her face tightly, her screams went down to whimpers which in turn went down to silence as her body went limp and the face hugger began laying its embryo.


Blair had just hooked up both Cryo suits back where they belonged and logged both users back in, he shut the locker and turned to put his lab coat back on, he smiled and left the room greeting passers-by.


"Now try and pick it up"

"Are you being serious?"

"Yeah go ahead"

"Ok then"

Norma had just told Sophie to try and pick up one of the land jeeps in the hanger bay, Sophie grabbed the underside of the jeep and strained to lift it.

"Ngh…no I can't do it" Sophie panted as she let go

"Ok then" Norma smiled

"So what did that accomplish?" Sophie asked

"Eli if you would give it a try please?" Norma asked the white haired Kamad

"As you wish" Eli said as he strolled over to the jeep and crouched down to grab the underside, he then lifted it right above his head with little trouble in fact he reckoned he could have one armed it though he didn't want to make Sophie feel weaker.

"Am I fucking dreaming?" Sophie asked as she saw the kamad holding a jeep above his head with ease like it was nothing.

"You aren't dreaming Sophie, it's just like I suspected"

"What did you expect exactly?" Sophie asked with her arms crossed

"Well these two looked pretty big built plus their bone structures are at least ten times sturdier and denser than that of a human, I am willing to bet that is because their planet is way larger than ours and hence their gravity is much greater than the gravity on earth, this explains their bone structures and how Eli can pick up a jeep like that" Norma explained

"Well…if their gravity is so much greater then why aren't they leaping around the place when they are walking around?" Sophie asked

"I believe I can answer that" Rezeal said stepping in

"You see our boots? Well they are specially designed to generate an artificial field of gravity to stop us from leaping around the place, though for battle purposes we can turn them off to gain an advantage over our enemies, the rest of our armour also has this function to stop us from tearing the interior of other species ships apart" Rezeal explained while motioning to different parts of his armour while Eli put the jeep down.

"For example I turned the function on my arms and feet off just now in order to pick up the jeep" Eli said joining in the conversation.

"Your species is that advanced?" Sophie asked amazed at how advanced these Kamads were

"Not only that but our armour shares certain physical attributes with us such as our regeneration ability" Eli said

"You're shitting me" Sophie said in disbelief

"We could prove it to you" Rezeal said

"No time for that, we have other tests to attend to" Norma said

"Alright like what?" Rezeal asked

"What do you gentlemen know about gynaecology?" Norma asked

Eli and Rezeal's eyes widened and Dexter gave a little screech like laugh while flapping his wings.


Ok everyone let me know what you thought such as
