Paradise Violated
"An Elojin eh? Kill him. Anything he's going to say is going to be bullshit anyway. I don't have time to decipher what's the truth and what isn't."
"You could turn him over to the Indoctrinator sir. He is very efficient at that sort of thing." Alyssa points out.
"Salo? Yeah, I could, but I don't feel like doing him a favor. Just shoot the Elojin. We're heading out, I'm sick of this village."
"Yes sir."
Alyssa leaves and you shortly hear a gun blast and a body fall. She certainly doesn't waste time. Speaking of wasting time, that's what this mission feels like to you. If you're stuck here for months, you'd at least like to be able to find something worthwhile.
As you leave and march through more jungle, you eventually come across some dead Lizards.
"Sir, we got some dead Lizards here." Alyssa tells you.
"Damn, I do so like putting the righteous fury to these reptile heathens." Salo says.
You examine the bodies, they're pretty sliced up. Could be another tribe, but usually there's more signs of arrow and spear wounds, these are more like cuts with a sword like weapon. Might be some sort of predator you haven't encountered yet, but then you find something embedded in one of the Lizard's heads: A black piece of chitineous material.
"Great, there are Krik nearby." You say. "Everyone on extra alert, and start watching and listening carefully."
"KÂ kkrik?" LaFleur asks in a scared voice.
"Ah ha! The most demonic of the Empire's enemies! I shall take great delight in slaying them!" Salo says in anticipation.
Alyssa doesn't say anything, you know out of everyone she came the closest to being killed by them, when they attempted to take over her home world. Her usual emotionless demeanor changes, as you see her eyes narrow displaying her hatred for them.
The rest of your team stands ready, it's not like you haven't fought them many times before, it's just that you know they never come in small groups. They're going to have numerical superiority over you and they are excellent warriors.
You continue on your way and soon you come across another village. And that's it. The Krik are here in full force. They've effectively taken it over, You see piles of Lizard bones, and some other Lizards being lead to a nearby cave by a few Krik Taskmasters. It looks like they're using them for some sort of labor, but you can't tell what, you don't see anyone carrying out of the cave yet, but if it's the Krik in has to be important.
Well this would qualify as something "worthwhile."
