Jason and the xenomorphs reach the building of the transport company. It was a large building with doors for airships and wheeled vehicles, painted white with yellow stripes, and a large logo on which was a cartoon cardboard box.
There they found modules for transport, they were oblong and very capacious. About 75 or 80 xenomorphs could fit in one. They weren't all the same height.
The modules had small computers and motors, Jason programmed them to fly to the base. The modules took off when they managed to open the gate.
- You said three would be enough... Weronika asked, Jason nodded... So why did five of them fly?
- As you've probably noticed, humans don't live in nests. From what I've heard, there's an unfinished colony there. I will live in it, but for that I need equipment, food, everything I need. She nodded understandingly.
They left the building and headed further towards the space equipment exhibition, the service point was unfortunately empty.
Veronica sensed that Jason was tense.
- Is something bothering you? she asked.
- In this direction, we are getting closer to the nest.
- Relax, we may not be normal, but we'll smell them before they smell you.
- Why?
- There are four of us. Our scent overwhelms yours.
- I see.
- Although now that you mention it... She said... We haven't encountered any scouts.
- Should we be worried? Jason asked
- Maybe not... But it's suspicious.
They crossed the alley and came out onto a smaller street.
- What happened here? Jason thought.
The whole street looked like a battelfield, everywhere bodies of xenomorphs, ordinary and some strange, everywhere acid holes and a strange yellow ointment resembling earwax.
- Anyone have an idea what happened here? Veronica asked.
- Normal ones could have been killed by Raven... Blue started... But what the hell happened to the other one? Because for sure they also fought with the normal ones.
- Let's go... Jason said... They stand here, we won't know anything. Just watch out for that yellow shit. I have bad feelings.
They cautiously move on, they were more vigilant now, something strange was going on here.
Raven entered the underground complex, it was here that he accidentally found this substance that made him stronger and he could turn any xenomorph into his servant.
He hated the queen for banishing him after all he had done for the hive. But only a little more time and he will regain his place in the hive, he will be king.
The room he entered was full of his puppets, the whole room was covered in a yellow-black version of their secretion, there were huge blisters on the walls and inside were a new life form. When the substance entered his body, it spoke to him, and he was able to do all this.
The beings inside the bubbles were created from his blood, substances and alien bodies that did not survive the transformation.
The creatures had their facial skin removed, but their bones were strong enough that they did not need chitin. Their tails were shorter but more muscular and sharp throughout, able to break the tail of a normal alien like a matchstick. They could shoot acid, which was able to bypass the alien slime protection and injure them. Instead of dorsal tubes, it had spikes on its back.
There were a lot of bubbles, they were not only aliens but also people and animals.
Raven's face curved into a smile, just a little longer.
The space hardware exhibit was a one-story building, it was white with the logos of the space companies, from the oldest to the newest. They went inside, there was a lot of equipment inside, they saw models of the first spaceships, models of Soviet satellites, first colony ships.
- Interesting. Green said, examining a model of a Soviet satellite.
- Yes. Jason agreed.
Despite how primitive this technology was compared to today's technology, it managed to fly into space. It deserves at least some respect.
They managed to find the engine in the back room, Jason scanned it with a special device and saw that it matched their ship.
- How to transport it? Red asked.
Jason looked around and saw the lift. It was an orange-yellow bipedal exoskeleton. The only downside was that these things are noisy. But it's not like they had some praetorian to carry it.
Jason climbed into the machine, jacked up the engine, and they set off for the return journey.
When they returned, they saw a crowd of disabled xenomorphs.
- Looks like the little one did the job. Jason said.
- Call me Yellow... said little one, jumping off the wall... I have something to tell you.
Half hour later.
- If it wasn't for what we saw along the way, I wouldn't have believed it. Blue said
- Do you know what it could be? Veronica asked.
- Back when humans were the dominant species here... Jason said... There were rumors of bioweapons being created in some lab. But I never took it seriously.
- I also found something interesting in the back of the warehouse. Yellow said as he led Jason to the back of the warehouse.
After entering, in the farthest corner there was a capsule with an inhuman-looking android inside. Jason smiled and patted the yellow one on the head.
- Perfectly...
- What is this? Yellow asked.
- Service android. I'll install this engine in two days.
After booting up Android went to work.
Jason has gathered some of the most skilled xenomorphs. These few were missing fingers and toes and bits of tails.
- First of all, I want you to know that you don't have to do this... He started... But I want to ask you to help me gather the things I need.
Veronica, always at his side, answered on their behalf.
- They agree to help. They say that is the least they can do to repay the help.
- All right. A few of you will go with that one... He pointed to Red next to some makeshift sleds with chest... You'll go to my house and he'll show you what to bring here... A few approached Red... And you'll go with Blue to nearby hardware stores. Take all or as much as you can.
The rest went to blue.
Jason went to the air traffic control tower where he already had a bed ready, brought by two xenomorphs as a token of gratitude, it was a bit ridiculous but he going to use it, the bed in the bunker was as hard as a piece of board. It had a new mattress.
Jason felt comfortable enough to sleep in his underwear for the first time in a long time. He wasn't ashamed in front of Weronika, she didn't wear clothes herself so it was fair. He could smell that sweet smell all the time.
- Does that sweet smell come from you? he asked.
- Yes. We make it so others know that we're craving... you know. she shook her hips..
- Then why don't you go downstairs and find another volunteer?
Quicker than he could react, she jumped up and sat on his goods. When, the hell, did him get hard?
- Or maybe I'm in the mood for someone not of my kind?
- Are you sure? Jason started, he didn't want her to say it was a mistake later.
- Absolutely. She said and kissed him passionately on the lips.
Xenomorphs that were sleeping around the air traffic control tower didn't sleep well due to the loud hisses from above.
