Erika raised up her wrist and touched a spot on it. What came up in holographic form was a globe with a white dot in the center. Around it were four other dots. These represented those in the jeep. As she messed around with the display and widened her range and set it to detect movement. What she found were no Xenos. She looked outside just to make sure if the device was accurate. She did see shadows but not of Xenos. She sighed and patted Hotaru's head. "Don't worry those are just people." She said. There was too many of them. If Xenos where not focused on this location yet they soon will be. They needed to get farther ahead. She continued to use her display to find them such a place. What she found was a police station. She rose a brow and looked to Miles and pointed at it. He nodded his head and made a quick right turn.

   Meanwhile in the deep far dark tunnels underground there was a cocoon. A rather large one to be exact. It had been growing for a while now until finally the creature within had grown and evolved into something new. The cocoon begs to crack and tear as the creature had reached its final stage. From it Nine emerged, she was not the tiny warrior she once was. She was now a praetorian. A much larger creature then the simple warriors. Yet not as large as a Queen. Nine looked around to return to it it's barring. Once it had done so it sent a message telepathically to the Queen letting her know it was done. The Praetorian then began to take its journey back to the surface. As she did she already took note of the job the drones were doing transforming the terrain into more suitable for the hive. She found one such exit. It was a drain for the streets when it rained. She quickly used her head and strength to Break through and emerge. She wasn't the only Praetorian but seeing as one was lost during the assault on the pink skinned creatures. Three or four of them escaped from what she had gathered, but oh well. They meant nothing for now. Eventually they will be used as hosts to further increase the size of the hive.
