Hey everybody! I'm back from the dead. Sorry I haven't updated for a while, I've just been having life hit me pretty hard, as well as losing interests in what I enjoy. But anyways, I'm back!
Rodney's face stayed in the same confused position. "What the hell are you getting at? I'm here to..." He suddenly stopped as he remembered what his purpose was at the facility. He opened his mouth to speak but was stopped by Lorna.
"Exactly. Your not here for normal reasons are you? Something else on your agenda?" Lorna asked sarcastic like.
"You don't have room to talk! Your walking up and about, all free and suspicious while questioning my intentions. Why aren't you hived either?" Lorna grinned slightly but looked away. She walked a pace and stopped to look towards Rodney. Shadow watched intently as to see what Lorna was going to say.
"Let's be realistic. I have seen Colonial Marines before. You and your squad were outfitted very different from USCM standards. Not to mention the cages you brought along AND the Synths." Rodney's face bloomed like a mayflower.
"You...know about that...but how...we didn't even see anyone...?" He stuttered as his mind couldn't even fathom how she could be all the way in the hive after all the hell the squad had.
"Lets just say I'm 'informed'." Lorna responded bleakly. "Now, I will ask one more time, why are you here?" She waited for an answer. What she got wasn't quite one.
The ground shuttered and rumbled, as if an earthquake had hit the colony. Lorna glanced around and then back to Rodney. He grinned devilishly.
"What was that?" Lorna inquired.
"Y'all and your little bug friends are boned...Those are my 'friends' here to finish what we started." He gave a small giggle.
"What? What did you start?" Silence answered her. "Tell me Goddammit!" She slumped a little realizing the bastard was trying to toy with her. "Shadow?" She looked back to her black lover.
"Yesss?" He answered.
"Use him as a host. He's not gonna help." With that being said, Valerie walked in with an egg in her claws. Rodney looked towards the new silhouette in fear.
"Who the hell are you talking to? Hello?" Lorna looked to Valerie and nodded. She the waited for Shadow to get off the ceiling and stand next to her.
"Mother has called for us. I'll see to her and find out what that was. Until then I need you to stay safe." Lorna nodded and strode off to her sleeping Quarters. She ignored the soldiers pleas for Death's Mercy, but instead thought to herself.
"Hope the guy is lying."
Sorry for the filler. It was just to get me into the process again. I know I'm a little rusty, and don't worry. More will come soon, but I can't say when. Hopefully in a week or two.
On another note: I would like to say thank you and sorry to all the people who read this and patiently waited for an update, as well as all our newies who just joined the ride. Thank you all soooooo much! You guys are a constant reminder that people are awesome. See you soon!
