Chaos, pure chaos.

The whole ship was in terror as screams ran rampent on every deck. The Alorian ship, Esta in command was transfering cargo for Zev when it happened. There was an odd organisim found on a passing planet, one that stirred the scientist's curiousity. She hated the seeking of knowledge when it wasn't needed, but they insisted.

Stupid scientists....No pun intended.

They brought aboard three specimens and one woman down. They had been attacked and now the species would not release its captive. They should have just left her for dead. Sad, but nevertheless, true. The body count was just beginning.

Esta remained unaware until the alarms went off. A ship wide search revealed nothing of the species, no, it just revealed that they were short one crew and heavy one Alien. Well....Two Aliens.

More chaotic moments passed, somehow. More eggs were found on three decks with no clue how they had come to be there. One by one the crew was falling to the invaders until only a few were left. They were scatterd, but the strongest prevailed.

Esta was found, however, alone. After the loss of her back up she was left alone to defend herself. The Tiger of Aloria found herself pitted against the foe in mass numbers. The horrific event was becomming too over whelming before he arrived. If he hadn't....She would have surely died.

The alorians were putting up a strong fight, even as the eggs took the first of the fallen. Esta was still hanging on as she growled." Animals! Fricken pricks the lot of you!" Esta narrowed her eyes as one came closer and snap, slash, slice. Before it was even five feet to close to her it's head was severed in two.

The shoulder mounted plasma cannon popped up and moved slowly with each turn of his head in keeping track of the two species. a moment and then his form would decloak several feet behind her. the plasma cannon upon his shoulder firing off several bursts of energy, cutting three of the alien bugs down from their scattering along. a low growl perked from behind his bio mask, gaze lowering from his near seven foot height downwards toward Esta.

She narrowed her eyes and panted roughly. She looked to her blades and tossed them away from her. She gritted her teeth for a moment and pulled out two more plasma pistols. Soon enough she was making her way towards the Preditor, gathering that he was quite possibly the gain she needed. Right as she got to his side she fired a round off, bringing down an alien right behind him.

A glance behind at the fallen creature and then back slowly toward the female with a light clicking sound from behind the bio mask. years of being around humanoids, befriending a few, indeed aided with his speech upon their language, common..," Gooood....warrior..."

Her gaze turned up towards him as she shrugged," Ehhh, comes with the years I've lived." She looked around for another moment before looking towards the corpse." What is that?"

A glance downward at the fallen creature as the shoulder mounted plasma cannon in turn lowered. a nod given at the dead alien as he spoke in her language instead of his own..," Hard...meat. Dead'ly..."

She nodded once more before muttering," Well the meat is on my ship. Let's see to it that they are shown off." She turned towards the coms," Plan Green!" And she then started to move towards the bridge.

Having tracked them onboard, don't ask how he wouldn't tell trade secrets, his tall form of muscle now moved along side her own in follow. while the bio mask worn over his face filtered through several imaging levels. an alert hearing kept on edge.

Flash, flash, hiss. Several shot were fired off in sugcession and she was firing away rapidly. She was gritting her teeth as her frame moved forwards as quickly as she could towards their survival." Do you know which decks are infected with the beasts?"

"Lower.." Came the almost rolled word from behind that of the bio mask. the shoulder mounted plasma cannon perked and several high energy blasts were cast forth. cutting through alien thick skull in the process." Engine...not safe...."

She cursed and spoke to him again," Can they understand us?" She was grinding her teeth, anotehr alien met it's end as she muttered," I'm going to rip apart the one who salvaged those eggs! "

"Eggs?" A low growl perked behind the bio mask with a glance downward aside toward her, ah...that's how it always began wasn't it' some species finding the eggs...and then trying to study them...or tampering with them.." No....listen, hard meat...dangerous...wild...not understanding they are."

Estapaused a bit and frowned softly," Should we just get off the ship and self distruct then?" She was always keeping a wary eye over the ship.

"Possibly...good...idea." A tilt of his head to the side slightly, listening before his gaze swept back and forth along the hall. plasma cannon at the ready.." Save...what left...destroy rest."

She nodded and turned to a panel," This will take a moment from here, cover me." Then she went on plugging in numbers and codes.

A glance downward at the panel and then turned as the energy cannon mounted to his shoulder let off two volleys of plasma toward a pair of aliens down the corridor. effectively dropping them from the walls they were climbing with their razor sharp claws. A shuriken snatched up from one of the many pouches at his belt, the blades extended before he gave a throw of it down the left hall way. the quick spinning blades would slice the head of another alien clean off, before the device boomer-ranged back at him and he caught it from the air.

Her brow perked and the Alorian took note of him. She finally pushed a few buttons before she called out over the coms," Plan red. If you're followed you know what to do!" She gritted her teeth and looked up to the Preditor," Looks like you're gonna be in a pod with me for a while. Think you can live with that?"

A tilt of his head downward at her, the shuriken star suddenly shrunk down in his hand as the blades drew back and the throwing device was tucked into his belt for safe keeping for now while the plasma cannon upon his shoulder lowwered some." Yezz...do' able."

She nodded and moved towards a Hall. There was a scream from her lips as a tail lashed out and scraped at her cheek while she jerked clear of a deathly blow. Her blade shot out and there was a loud crack as her blade was lodged in the beasts head." The pod is this way!"

A growl at the impaled alien as he passed it, clicking sound from behind the bio mask with a few rhythmic ticks. following the female as the double wrist blades extended from the gauntlet upon his arm, just in case.

She got to the pod and checked to see if the thing was clear. She drew in a deep breath and narrowed her eyes just a bit before looking to him," Let's get the hell out of here!"

Making sure the pod was empty of extra passengers, before the double wrist blades retracted back into the gauntlet upon his arm, a grunt with a few clicks as he nodded downward at her from his height and then he moved into the pod.

She snapped the door shut and the pod was released. She sighed as she set the signal beacon on and moved to sit down on a bunk, her hands moving to hold her head.

Standing for the moment, a hand set to a wall structure for support as he listened first, then his gaze from behind the bio mask would turn about the pod. the shoulder mounted plasma cannon finally lowering down and then back to it's resting position for now as the coast was clear.

Her fingers were rubbing at her temples while she lowered her head slowly. There was a light sigh at her lips and she shook her head weakly." So many people lost."

The bio mask turned downward at her comment made, a tilt of his head, thick dreds spilling over a shoulder in turn," Always...with hard meat. Cost of life...high. Dangerous...they are."

Another nod from her before she frowned," I can see how some people make that a living." A light chuckle fell from her lips.

A tilt of his head down at her curiously, a light nod then given slowly in turn," Tough they are...many have fought. Mercy...they will not, show."

She nodded," Thank you for all your help. I think I would have been destroyed long ago if you hadn't come around."

"Many...kill..." A grunt, partly and one part growl perked from behind the bio mask covering his face as he spoke in a a low tone," Many kill...before come...planet Rhydin."

Esta pursed her lips a bit and lowered her head slowly. Her breath pushed out and her eyes turned on him again," There are some in Rhy'din?"

"Few....mostly other creatures...Kept from less advanced...I try to do." Up against a simple town of horse and wagon, no doubt they'd do quite a mess then against a town on Rhydin more advanced with projectile weapons more common...guns, energy weapons of some sort....a nod of his head at her. shift in his stance as thick dreds moved against his shoulders in turn," You are...alive. Another day...you can fight."

She nods as she stands and moves to him, offering her hand out to him," Esta Nayru of Alorianack."

A curious glance down at the offered hand, lucky for Esta, he'd befriended a few humans years ago...so such customs weren't so odd to him with the help of being taught from those friends of old...a large reptilian hand lowered and took of her hand for a brief grip and release, his hand though briefly felt, was quite warm to the touch," Thwei Cetanu..."

And at the end of her night....An alliance was made along with a mateship. To each there own, Esta had nothing to loose and Thwei had made his interests quite known. The Alorian Warrior and the Preditor created a strong bond and formed a strange union.
