| → | Quickly, in here. |
| I guess we're doing this |
|
We can't-- we can't go in the vents!!
They're only rated to carry air! We're not air!!
These weren't designed to hold people! |
| |
|
| * You say that, but given what Nix told me about this world I reckon they probably literally were. |
| |
|
* Yeah, nah, don't worry about it.
* Change of subject: I am bloody curious as to why you're risking your shit for us here -- not that I don't appreciate it -- cause that's a level of common fuckin' courtesy we've not really been getting from the rest of these arseholes. |
| Your world, Sunny, your Earth-- I've been there. I've seen it. |
My squad and I were on a routine mission when our hyperspace node malfunctioned. We went hurtling off course, until our ship crash landed on your planet.
My squad... we were slaughtered. Cliff Mason found us there, somehow. He gunned them down one after another...
I was the sole survivor, all thanks to the charity of your friend, Corala Jasper, who stood between Cliff Mason and myself to ensure I would live on!
|
It wasn't just Corala, either... my survival was the will of Helix! It must have been!
Helix showed me a vision of another world, where all species could stand together, hand in hand, as allies and equals.
I just... didn't understand what I was meant to do with it.
How could it be me? I thought. I couldn't-- I wasn't the worthiest. The others were stronger, or smarter, or braver, and I was just-- just a Grunt! A coward Grunt who ran and hid! What could Helix possibly see in me!?
But now... I see it too. Another vision-- you, Sunny! You risked everything to save this human from his shackles -- now it makes SENSE!
|
There IS better way! Helix has shown me the light!
All we have to do is have the courage to reach out our claws and make it so!!! |
| |
|
* YEAH! YEAH, CUNT!!!
* I'm likin' the mass of that nutsack!!
* So what's the plan from here, huh? |
| The plan... the plan is... |
I didn't think I'd get this far!!
OH HELIX I'M PLUCKED I'M GOING TO DIE!!! |
| |
|
| * Jesus Christ, mate, calm your farm--! |
My farm is in SHAMBLES!!
I'VE MADE ONE MOVE AND I'M ALREADY A FAILURE!!! |
| |
|
...
| You and me both |
| → | You're not a failure, that's stupid. If it weren't for you, I'd be locked up back in the labs and Sunny would be facing a military tribunal. |
| Better than me, everyone would be in a better place if I were never even born. |
| Sunny would probably be dead right now if I hadn't been there to help her in Hellfuck. |
| Oh shut up |
|
| Of course!! We've made it this far... anything is possible! |
| |
|
...
| → | Okay let's not get ahead of ourselves |
| You just switch that bravery on and off, huh. Like a horse. |
|
| |
|
* Let's not get behind our own arses either.
* We breathe the stale fuckin' air of this ventilation system too long, our lungs'll prolly start growing yet undiscovered species of fungus.
* Or. Y'know. We'll get caught again.
* So if you don't got a way out, that means it's time to invent one.

| You're never leaving me behind, are you |
| Fine, I won't stop you. You can drag me along all you want, even if it's just drawing out the pain. |
| Thank you |
| The last plan actually got pretty far, for what it's worth. There was something to it. |
