Paradise Violated
Yes of course! These creatures can sense the greatness in you, that's why they wish to join you! This is just the first step, after you gain the power of the Xont, you'll be able to unite this entire planet under your command! These Lizard creatures are not unintelligent and would make excellent servants.
"Where's our best Lizard translator?" you ask.
"Um, that would be me sir." Corporal Higgins steps up and says.
"Good, you're still alive, tell these Lizards that they'll be coming with us. They can also have the honor of carrying some of our equipment."
While corporal Higgins follows your orders, Indoctrinator Salo stops you from going back to your tent protesting severely and very vocally.
"Captain! These creatures need to be exterminated! They attacked us! The will of the Emperor demands no less!"
"The Emperor isn't here."
This callus remark doesn't endear you to Salo.
"You would DARE say such a thing? You are walking the line of heresy Captain! Perhaps you have allowed yourself to be contaminated too much by alien influences!"
"Out of my way Salo, I don't want to hear this shit right now."
"Oh what would you rather do? Fornicate with your blue alien whore? Don't think I didn't notice you going into Sergeant Alyssa's tent earlier! I am the eyes of the Empire!"
"Last chance Salo, to get out my way "
Salo, is right in your face at this point. "No Captain, this is YOUR last chance! You need to "
Before Salo can go on another tirade, you push him back, pull out your pistol and blast him in the face! The rest of your team watches in silence as you stand over his body ranting.
"YOU WILL NOT GET IN THE WAY OF MY DESTINY! NOT YOU, NOT THE EMPIRE, NOTHING!"
The next morning work begins on the rafts; they're built relatively quickly with the extra help of the Lizards and the fact that nobody seems to want to piss you off after what happened to Salo. Soon the two large rafts are shoved into the river. Success, they float, but you never really had any doubt. You make sure Alyssa and Higgins are on your raft. You assign Lieutenant LaFleur to the other, and continue on your journey. You have some canopies set up during the trip, so you can at least take shade from the infernal sun beating down on you during the trip. It seems like it got even hotter, how you long for the cool touch of Alyssa's skin again.
As you think about this, you notice a strange rodent like creature running past your feet making squeaking noises.
"What the hell is that?!" you ask you team.
"Oh, that's a Slink Slink. Or at least that's what the Lizards call them. I believe they eat them sir." Corporal Higgins replies.
"Well how the hell did it get on here?"
"I dunno they live in this area I guess and one snuck on board, they're harmless sir, one of the Lizards will probably eat it later, nothing to worry about."
You don't have time to worry about such trivial matters, you wonder if you should reassure your team that this IS the right path. You've noticed that ever since the incident with Salo, your team has been edgy and looking a little less confident in you.
