CHAPTER .
Gene was surprised, when a lone hunter sat at their table. He couldn't help but wonder where this guy's brother was.
The guy, well not really a guy, being a colony of worms and all, in a bipedal battle suit... Probably to make other races more comfortable... Gene would have given himself extra arms.
The point was... the worms were alone... that just didn't happen. Bond Brothers stayed by each other's side until they split off into another colony. That's just how they were. They always came in pairs. No more, no less... but this one was all alone.
"Where's your brood mate thingy?" Gene carelessly asked. To which Hilda smacked him upside his head.
Gene yelped, then demanded, "What the Hell!!!" while not really asking.
The Hunter eyed him a moment. Then spoke. Gene really did feel the words more then heard them... and not just because of the vibrations in the air. "Dead," That word cut at Gene... he knew what it was like to lose family.
"Pirates?" Was all Hilda asked.
The Hunter nodded, before stating, "I hear you're one of the few Captain's willing to take the fight to them."
Hilda eyed him, "Why not just join Starfleet? One of their major purposes is to take on pirates. You'd even get to explore the galaxy. Likely get better pay, to. Or, at least, more reliable pay."
The worm colony just looked at her. "I don't plan to leave any alive," He calmly informed.
Hilda smiled, "I can respect that kind of ambition."
"What's your name?" Gene asked.
He could feel the worms smile, rather then see, "Just call me, End."
