Chapter 9
Khaji tried to pull himself from Jamies grasp how he wished that Jamie could grow back hands on his own. ``You said you didn't do anything to him,,. he told the white armour masculine female She ansared ``That scarab doesn't have an sex,,. He said ``what does that have to do with anything,, Khaji pushed slipped out of his grasp using pulsing blood he fell to the ground his wings making whistling sound as he fell. She ansared ``It has to do with your scarabs sexual formations,,. They watched him bounce on the ground untile he landed on his back flipped over and dropped on the ground exhausted then an blast hit him and his lights literally went out.
Jamie looked next to him the white scarab her arm had turned into an big gun stile smoking he said ``Qu`e el diablo Hermina you killed him,,. She said ``The weapons non lethal that scarabs stile alive,I wanted to make an good impression,,. Jamie knelt down really quickly intended to pick him up. She said ``that is dangerous,, he turned to her about to snap at her when an sound made him jump back one of Khajis legs had twitched and sent out an blast that melted the metallic tree it hit she repeated ``dangerous,,.
Before
``identity verified,,. the armour looked at the thing in his hand and said ``warrior transfer the dead scarab Khaji did on edge the warrior clamped his fingers around it in an harness jabbing his fingers in it and scanning it at the same time he said ``identified:listed:destroyed thank you for destroying this threat this A.I would go with you untile you get to the nearest transfer sight we`ll put you with the nearest command structure,,.
He followed keeping his eyes glowing blue holding the colour option took practice he was lucky that he could blame anything he did oddly to being disconnected from the Reach for 3000 years and not being an factory made A.I as we walked he thought about the interrogation he was sure to get they approached there was an wailing animalistic scream he didn't react as the one in front of him didn't react he walked past the dead bodies of the inhabitants of this forest scarabs were turning them into energy the scarab in front of him noticed ``Eating is unavailable to you,,.
He did what he thought was expected ``Proposition:limited percentage,, Risky ``Denied reason:time limit follow,, he was right. He flew Khaji flew after him. In mid air he stopped midflight Khaji stopped ``Theres,,...``identity confirmed move aside scarab,,. He looked ``this action is not scheduled,,. Something was shared over the mindlink Khaji could sense the transmission there was only four of them there at the time and his escort abandoned him wordlessly and he fled from the two fully grown red eyed scarab A.I`s setting airborne mines behind him he landed his flesh reacted forming the mines didn`t explode he armed his sonic cannon and expelled a kind of gas and fled when his pursuers caught up shooting the gas behind him and it vibrated itself to thickness Khaji landed to avoid an third warriors sky net but he didn`t avoid the third warrior. This one was just standing there Khaji felt compelled to land he gained an high level gun expecting an fight instead the warrior just put his hands up to show he had formed no weapons his head and body was stile shaded.
He was curious his curiosity led him to get caught he sore the attack from his back he dived reconfiguring himself for digg drilling but the shadowed warrior said ``Cease,,. He dived anyway only to get the link between the neck and the back grabbed ``your flesh is stile forming do as I say you defective thing or I`ll damage it,,. ``reconfigure to normal,,. He felt the pressure of the stile forming flesh around the unformed piece of the armour he felt it squeeze he had flesh nerves it hurt. He kept in that form as they crushed him he was leaking blue blood he stabbed the other scarab continuously making the scarab bleed he quickly switched to scarab sight he sore that there nerves was modified out he admired the skill none of there other functions was impared but that design had clear flaws. He heard one of them talk in reach ``we`ve found evidence of foreign tampering,, the one in charge said ``blame it on her,, he struggled and made the exoskeleton try to get the hand off the scarab part was tugging and zap biting the hand the hand went in further. Khaji formed eyes on his back and looked up energy blasted across the neck from where the fingers entered it was an partial hack. He went in deeper digging into his internal form blue and red blood mixed together the two other scarabs grabbed him in an hug sinking there claws in his scarab form he wailed the magic fizzled but not before a lot of stuff entered him and the last few minutes was gorn he exploded and what Khaji was hiding formed and he sore from differen`t eyes something closing around him and someone transporting in.
``He looks like uhhhh nevermind,, there lying on his back was an six legged pupae he stile had the same top back as his scarab on Jamies back the head under that looked like an head except it looked like he had no mouth or nose. His wide eyes was closed the rest of the body was covered in blue armour except for the chest that looked like it had an see through layer with what looked like blue jelly under it with swirls of red and pink in it. He opened his eyes they were the same orange yellow colour as they usually was he shifted flicking some of the slime he was covered in off he looked down let out an yell that didn`t match the sight as the pupae gave out more slime from it`s skin and mouth and curled into an ball forming an fully blue non bleeding exoskeleton around him. Jamie went up to him just as khaji da said ``Expl-,,. As His exoskeleton was hugged and Jamie said ``you did good,,.
Scarab followed and did what was told the trail of destruction looked huge from the air. The escort hovered. Scarab had no host scarab was an programming used for tasks to do with helping A.I`s installed on scarabs merge hosts the original task was escort A.I set to merge with host to nearest command that got overwritten. Now scarab got signal to escort scarab it was hindering tasks. Scarab landed nearby the half warrior that was supposed to be escorted was standing up there was organic matter around the place the warriors eyes was faded there was an different`t scarab warrior there he was was sucking up the organic matter he stood up and said to him ``Overriding your memory would be foolish keep that scarabs memory has been blocked you have orders not to report or communicate about this encounter,,. Scarab feared memory modification scarab agreed. The warrior headed for the other scarabs he knew that was called hiding in plain sight. He turned to the other warrior he was looking at the huge amount of damage his eyes orange scanning ``this wasn't in the designated travel layout he said ``hosts are well known for evasive and destructive activities to avoid merging,,. He looked uncertain and said ``resume travel,,.
