[i]"Damn humans..."[/i]
[b]Lucien dashes back the way he came, his metal boots slamming against the hallway floor.[/b]

The marine shook his head and detonated his charge as they left. It destroyed what little there was left of the room. He followed the giant, little did the two know the darkness left the room when they did. It would grow elsewhere.
-
[b]Lucien finally stops at the intersecting point and catches his 'breath'.[/b] [i]"No kill like overkill..."[/i] [b]He looks behind him for his military companion, the eye pieces on his helmet narrowing slightly.[/b]
-
The marine catches up and looks at the giant then behind himself to see what he's looking at. "What?"
-
[i]"You sure we weren't followed? That stuff looked... 'Followy'."[/i] [b]He mumbles, keeping his gaze turned to their previous location.[/b]
-
"I was, until you asked just then. Ah shit, I've seen enough movies to know where this is going."
-
[i]"I'm just gonna go... Down here..."[/i] [b]And with that, Lucien rounds a corner and takes cover behind a metal panel, motioning for the soldier to follow.[/b]
-
The Maine did so and placed a charge down behind him. "Maybe we should get some more distance."
-
[i]"Agreed, but where...? I don't want to run into some more assholes."[/i]
-
"I've heard about some kind of settlement near the center of the ship. I was working my way there when I made this detour and met you and your female friend."
-
[i]"Damn... Is it controlled under the Imperium...?"[/i] [b]He asks, looking around for his companion.[/b]
-
"I think both sides live there." He said shrugging. "Or atleast no one kills you for being different there."

-
"What's wrong?" The marine said raising an eyebrow.
-
[i]"Malform is obnoxious and loud. That's what's wrong."[/i] [i]"Yeah... But he knows a place we might be able to stay at."[/i] [b]She shrugs and leans against a wall.[/b]
-
"Near the center of the ship there's some sort of safe area, an uneasy peace but no ones dead yet."
-
[i]"We'll take it. I over rule her vote."[/i] [b]Lucien remarks, humor turning into cold authority as he glares at Lea.[/b] [i]"Yeah... What he said..."[/i]
-
"Well, it's settled then, I'll lead the way, you two keep up and watch for ambushes." With that the marine began to lead them on a course towards the main lodging area.
-
[b]The two follow mostly silently, though sometimes they bicker about something pointless... Lucien more importantly being the one to start it. He enjoyed teasing and just generally being a smartass. His sarcasm was mostly unchallenged.[/b] [i]"Hey, Boss, where have you stayed prior?"[/i] [b]He suddenly asks.[/b]
-
"When, on the ship? Where I could, alcoves, hallways, empty rooms. Any place I could fortify I did. Why?" Blackburn had largely tuned the two out, they were either going to love each other or hate each other by the end of this and he didn't know which was worse.
-
[i]"I'm just... Surprised. It may sound weird but this isn't actually my body. Hint, hint right? Well, I used to be a weapons manufacturer before the collapse of earth and actually had a time machine or two... What I'm trying to say is: I just haven't seen a normal functioning human in a long time."[/i] [b]He says, thoughtfully.[/b]
-
"I'm not."
-
[i]"Which part? Functioning or human? I count Robots and Augs as humans too. I don't judge."[/i] [i]"Unless they are not of earth, right?"[/i] [i]"I don't judge aliens and the xeno populations."[/i]
-
"Biologically I am human, my DNA is the same. But I was breed for one purpose, war. I was manufactured, one of a number. Although we all look different, speak different, and fight different, we think the same."
-
[i]"So, clone or test tube?"[/i] [i]Lucien asks, extremely curious.[/i]
-
"Test tube."
