"So the Predators are here as well?" TDN said after hearing Reverand told of his experience "Well that's just great! Well, here's more enemies for us to deal with". He had known the Predators, but mostly from his training. He had fought some of them before, out in the wild, on Sigma Prime. But those were pretty young and inexperienced. He had killed them with ease. Hopefully, he would find a much better battle versus the Predators on this Colony. But now, they had two enemies to contend with, and he had already lost alot of his men in this battle.
He turned to Hicks and spoke "And what was it you wanted to tell me?". Hicks replied "I'm found out about something disturbing sir. It seems that the much heard of Dr.Church that had seems to cause all of our problems here, isn't the only Doctor after all. It's really hard to explain this to you sir, but I've found out about someone else, someone who was also doing the research with Dr.Church". "And is he still alive?" TDN asked. "From what I gathered, I'm guessing he still is. I don't know much about him, but he seems to still be alive and watching us. It all sounds like a conspiracy, but you've got to believe me, it's all true. His name is Dr.Deathwood from what I've heard".
TDN paused for a moment. The goddamn Corporates and their pets. They've caused the deaths of many. And now, just what are they planning? What does this Dr.Deathwood want? Just then, Revrand came up to and and spoke "Sir, hate to interrupt, but there's something..."
His speech was cut short by something approaching them. At first, TDN couldn't make out what it was, but then he could now clearly see it by the dim light that had illuminated it. It was a Xenomorph. But this one seemed strange. Usually, these thing would have leaped at them at first sight, but this one was waiting, as if it wanted them to give it something. One of the marines spoke up "Sir that's it! That's the strange Xenomorph we told you about! It's the one that seemed to follow us!".
"So you're the famous Xeno my men had spoke of" TDN thought. On it's hand, it clutched something. It was some sort of a needle, the ones used to inject medicine, except inside of it wasn't any type of medication. TDN had recognized the drug in it right away. "I know what this is. It is the same drug that had been used by the Company for their soldiers to remain loyal to them. Only by remaining loyal, shall they give them their daily drug intake" he thought. So this was what it wanted. It must not be able to inject the drug by itself, that's why it needed them.
TDN was reluctant at helping one of these creatures that he had despised for so long. But then he remembered how he had wanted for one of them to be their ally. If he could get this creature on his side, it would only be to their advantage. He hated how much he sounded like the Corporate freaks at this moment, but this is something that will give them an advantage.
TDN slowly moved towards it, taking the needle from it's arm, and it obeyed. "You wanted this? Well here it is" he said, as he plunged the needle down it's mouth, pulling it away in time before the acid eats it away. The Xenomorph purred, as if it seemed satisfied. But it knew it needed more, it needs to take the drug daily to satisfy its craving. It knew that it had to follow them and help them, for them to give it what it wants.
TDN slowly began to walk, calling to his men "It's okay guys! Come on, we've got work to do. Some of those marines I've sent to investigate haven't come back yet. Let's move!". This day, they had gained a new ally.
Just as they were moving, Reverand came up to him and said "Sir, there was something else I wanted to talk to you about..."
