Thread: Alien Hive ((Closed))

RE Risk of the StarsKorax and littleiveta Not aware they were being watched until now, Rukkus and Eurbath followed the stares of the humans to a near by tree. Bah! Fliers always think they are invisible on the high-ground. The sing-song voice of Rukkus was followed by a gurgling chuckle from his larger partner No point in hiding now. Come down young one, the Zirus are not spies and we do not wish to frighten the humans. this sound advice of course came from Eurbath. At being found out, Scott nearly fell off his perch on the tree, partly because he was trying to divide his attention between the others and the little flying insects under his command, one of was sending extremely distracting images back. Sheepishly Scott fired up his wings, they made a loud rumbling sound, akin to the motor on old Earth vehicles as he flew over and landed beside Jeffry. His friend seemed a bit annoyed that Scott had followed them, the man had been insanely curious and hyper-active before the change, but after gaining his wings he only became worse. With that settled all four Zirus turned to their human counterparts, though Scott still seemed a bit twitchy and nervous, he did his best to loom somewhat dignified. Rukkus seemed determined to lead this small group, moving his arms together he made a soft thrilling sound, not unlike that made by a violin, he strummed out a few cords before giving a very elegant bow to the females. I am Rukkus, music lover, song writer, lesser noble and humble servant of the queens. Shifting his clicking mandibles around into a rather broken imitation of a human smile, the Zirus seemed to be quite the showman as he then gestured to the others This brute is Eurbath. He's a farmer by trade and a dear friend, please heed his words of wisdom. then finally he set his eyes on the two former humans. These two have not fully embraced their new lives and still cling to their old names, you know Scott it seems, but this one here is Jeffry. I forget their second names, why you people need more than one name is beyond me. In any case these young Zirus- Breaking the speech Jeffry spoke up We aren't young, I am in my late twenties and Scott isn't that far behind me. this got an annoyed glance from Rukkus You two don't have a year between the two of you. You will be considered grubs until you grow more accustomed to your bodies and devote your strands of genetics to the hive. Rukkus then turned back to the humans, annoyed that they were seen fighting in front of them. Now, Jeffry has been elected to debate terms with you, Eurbath and I are just here to set him straight on the finner points of Zirus desires and the demands of the queens. Taking a few steps back he shot a glance over to Jeffry who seemed to be trying to point his eyes away from the women. Young one, it is rude to not meet the eyes of your allies. Eubath stated, forcing Jeffry to look straight ahead at the women, twitching just a little as an inhuman chittering sound left his mouth. Embarrassed, Jeffry stepped forwards, making sure to keep his stinger armed tail low to the ground so he didn't get himself shot I understand what my ship was looking for, but what do you want to get out of this? Whatever you want, the Zirus will want what they consider a fair trade... he was hesitant to say just what the Zirus would want, knowing that the contacts would have trouble giving human lives for resources.
