"English Human speech"
"Alien/Prawn Speech"Kagiso woke early the next morning to knocking on the door. She jerked upwards, ignoring the pounding in her skull. She was unsure of why she had a headache, but she knew that she couldn't be found here. She moved over to Dingane quietly, not really wanting to wake the sleeping prawn. She knew that he had just as rough a night as she did. She reluctantly reached out and placed a hand on his spiny shoulder. The touch was enough to wake him fully, and he looked form her to the door as the knocking echoed through the small shack.
"Door." He said, and he pointed to the floor, where the edge of a handle was just barely outlined in the dirt. She walked over to it, lifting it with ease. She looked to the dark hole back to Dingane, pausing at the entrance. He walked quickly towards the flimsy door as another bout of knocking rocked it firmly on its hinges.
"Walden! We need to talk!" said a deep prawn voice, and Kagiso glanced form the door to Dingane. He had lied about his name! He looked from her to the door, opening it slightly to catch sight of the blue prawn before him. He shook his head, trying to get him to go away.
"Can't talk now." He said, and the prawn just laughed, shifting his weight onto the other leg. He lifted his arm, showing a prawn gun that was twice the size of the arm holding it.
"I need to ask you about that human you found earlier. I promise that is all." He said, and Dingane looked at him through narrowed eyes as he opened the door a little further. Kagiso cringed, ducking out of sight behind the bed.
"If I let you in, do you promise to tell no one what you see, hear or talk about, and to not harm her?" Dingane asked, knowing that he was pushing his luck. He knew this prawn from his…first…year as a prawn, and he knew he was not to be messed with. He also knew his secret; he hated taking lives. He was trying to play on that weakness now.
"I promise, on my daughters life. Now will you let me in? The MNU are swarming this place." He said, and Dingane opened the door, shutting it swiftly behind the other prawn. The blue shelled prawn looked around the shack, noting the open trapdoor. Dingane sighed, walking forward and shutting it.
"Where is she, Walden?" the other prawn asked, and Dingane shuffled his feet, his eyes roaming over his shack. He glanced at the bed, aware that was the most suitable place to hide. He sat down on the crate, closing his eyes.
"Have they searched you yet, Jack?" he asked the blue prawn. Jack shook his head, setting the gun down on the bed as he glanced at the shelves.
"A little under stocked, are we?" he asked, and Dingane glanced at his shelves before looking at the taller prawn before him.
"Why would you care, Jack? Don't you have your own family to take care of?" he asked, and Jack glared at him, moving forward aggressively.
"Ill ask you one more time. Where is the human girl?" he asked, and a shuffling from behind the bed made both the prawns turn towards it. Kagiso stood up, her blue eyes glaring at the blue prawn. He moved forward, curiosity spiking as she stayed where she was.
"Are you positive that she isn't only a human?" he asked, and Dingane nodded, once. He looked at Kagiso, and he saw her eyes change from blue to amber, then back to blue. It was the only sign of how stressed she was.
" Is she infected?" Jack asked, and Dingane shook his head, moving closer to her. She moved around the bed, standing beside the prawn as the beeping from the heart monitor fell.
"Show him." Dingane said, and Kagiso looked at the prawn beside her before nodding. She glared at the blue prawn as scales flowed over her skin, her eyes changing color and her height changing. She stood before Jack, half prawn and half human, before she changed back to fully human. Her control wouldn't allow her to stay fully prawn for a long period of time yet, but she was working on it.
"Satisfied?" she asked Jack, and he nodded, shocked. He had never heard of anything like this. She was clearly not infected, for he had seen someone infected before, and they didn't have any control over what happened to them. MNU was branching out in their research, and he didn't like it.
"Can I talk to you alone, Walden?" he asked, and Dingane looked from the prawn before him toe ht girl beside him, his antennae twitching with anxiety. He nodded, moving towards the door. Jack reached for his gun, but a click from Dingane warned him not to bring it with him. Dingane allowed the other prawn outside first, and he waited to talk to the human still in his shack.
"Ill be back. Don't wander off, this shouldn't talk to long." He said, and with that, he was gone, the door thudding shut behind him. Kagiso slumped onto the bed, her confidence shaken. A single tear fell down her cheek as she thought over the events of the morning. She sat there, in the now empty shack, alone and afraid. She didn't know what Jack wanted, but that blue prawn seemed like the kind that "Shoot to kill first, then ask later." She closed her eyes, struggling with her slipping control. She tensed, trying to fight the prawn back inside her, but slowly it won, and she fully changed into her prawn form in a matter of a few seconds. She sat there, surrounded by new smells and sounds, and she was able to hear the conversation that was being held outside.
"Are you sure? There's never been anyone like this." Jack asked Dingane, and he nodded, moving restlessly outside of his shack. He didn't like to leave her alone. He was afraid something bad would happen. Jacks antennae were waving furiously, giving away his confusion.
"I can't talk long. She needs us, Jack. They will hunt her down and cut her open." Dingane said, and he was pushed aside roughly. Jack moved forward, looking around the shack as the morning quieted suddenly.
"Maybe that's what she needs." He said. Inside the shack, Kagiso scrambled backwards, looking around the walls for any other way out. She found a small part of the wall that had been carved away, then placed overtop of the hole. She gently moved aside the cardboard, squeezing out of the shack in her new form. She looked around, her antennae telling her that the two prawn she should be most worried about were still outside. She looked around with fearful eyes, thinking quickly of a way to save Dingane and herself from Jack. Something caught her eye as she was restlessly pacing behind the shack; there was a slight hill in front of her, and the shack that sat onto of it would give her a good view of Johannesburg. As well as the MNU building. She ran quickly towards the shack, her longer limbs giving her better ground coverage as she neared her destination.
"Walden! She's gone. Care to explain how?" Jack asked, pulling the other prawn towards him. He pushed Dingane inside the shack, and he looked around the space with fearful eyes. Jack was pissed now.
"Dunno." He said, and he started to back away from Jack as the blue prawn picked up his weapon. It whirred to life, humming quietly in the prawns grasp. Dingane shook his head. He had cheated death once; seems like now he was going to be punished for it.
Kagiso clambered quickly on top of the shack, her keen eyesight showing her what she wanted to see, She glanced at the tall building, clicking quietly to herself. She had not changed back into her normal form yet, for which she was grateful. She closed her eyes, thinking of the room she had been held in for most of her torture. She felt her body tensing with anger as she thought over the prawn and humans she had seen die.
"No more death." She muttered to herself, and she hummed in her mind, trying ot activate a certain alien machine from a long distance. She only had one chance to get this right. And, she was pressed for time; she could hear Jacks weapon charging up in the shack she had left.
At the MNU lab, a low hum rocked through the building. Certain pieces of alien technology whirled as it was charged with an energy that hadn't been there before. Slowly, the pieces dragged themselves towards the lone shadow that was hidden in the corner of the lab. The low hum intensified, building up energy as the pieces fixed themselves on the shadow. Slowly, ever so slowly, the shadow started to move, low grinding noises emitting from it as the hydraulics ground against the scarred and pitted metal that was the frame. It stood upright, unsteady and wavering slightly as the low hum rose in pitch, and the shadow turned towards the nearest wall to where the signal was. It raised an arm, and the wall crashed apart, the shadow flitting out with a squeak of protesting metal. Inside the lab, the workers flooded towards the gaping hole as the alarms were triggered.
Across the town, there was a lot of screaming and fleeing as the shadow moved quickly towards its destination. It let nothing stop it as it neared District 10.
"You're dead, Walden." Jack said, but he never had the chance to finish the job as something huge and metallic smashed through the door. The wooden object went spinning towards the other wall, knocking the bed to the other side of the shack as Jack was cleanly pulled from the shack, and he dropped the gun. The shadow liked towards the other prawn, then it offered him its metallic hand. The gun was lying in it, and he took it, feeling the power radiating from it as it came in contact with his skin. He was staring in wonder at the shadow before him as it pulled away fro the shack, heading towards the small hill behind his shack. He followed it, at a safe distance, and he was surprised to see it stop in front of a small prawn that was on top of the other shack.
"Do you think I deserve to die now?" the prawn asked, and Dingane almost dropped the weapon. Kagiso was the one controlling the shadow! In the hand, the prawn shook his head frantically, trying to wiggle out of the shadows grasp. Dingane walked closer, his eyes locked onto Kagiso's form. She looked like every other prawn, except her shell. It was a shade of metallic blue he had never seen before. Sure, the other prawns could paint themselves whatever color they want, but Kagiso's color was all in her shell.
"Kagiso!" he called to her, and she looked at him, distracted. The shadow turned, and Jack was dropped to the ground. He scrambled away, forgetting about his gun as he made his escape. The shadow held out an arm to her, and she stepped onto it, crouching down so she had better balance. She hopped off, landing lightly on the ground as she struggled to stay in her prawn form. Her eyes flicked blue, then back to their prawn amber. The shadow regarded the other prawn, but it left Dingane alone. She looked up, smiling despite the circumstances. She patted the dinged and scratched leg, looking from it ot him.
"This is Big Papa."
