Subject 10

The clicking sound of 10’s talons echoed through the hall, her tail waving in the air. She held something in a clawed hand a round object trailed by a thick form leaving a trail of red ichor. Turning her head she sensed another nearby, a praetorian, specifically the ones the humans had designated 9 and the one mother had put in charge when she could not communicate commands to the rest of the hive. Dropping the marine on the ground with a wet thud she twisted and leaped onto a wall running down a hall filled with the gore of dead humans and several other Xenomorphs that had been killed. She knew they would be replaced though and the hive would only prosper with the hosts they had taken.

She crashed through a window and then moved through a door stopping several feet away from the praetorian and hissed loudly towards her as she stood up to her full height which would not match that of 9, but she would show her resilience and strength regardless simply so that the Praetorian was aware that she was still a useful asset to the hive, and not a hinderance. She stepped towards her clicking slightly as she did wondering what the Queen’s next step was and simply awaited the commands she would obey from the Praetorian when they came. A clawed foot stepped onto a human’s head the weight of the Xeno crushing it into a pulp that spattered out across the floor. She tilted her head slightly jaws dripping with thick clear liquid that puddled upon the ground mixing with the blood and gore.

Subject 4 “Blink”

The tunnels of the sewer gave the perfect environment of the expansion of the hive. She ran on four legs over the concrete darting back and forth from the wall to the walkways built around around the waste water that the humans has so disgustingly poured down here. She stopped as she heard a noise from above and slowly climbed up a ladder to a manhole. Using her strength she pushed open the manhole and crawled out into a parking lot full of vehicles, one of them had a open door with music blaring loudly. She crouched and walked on all fours between the cars looking for any possible signs of life that might be a proper excursion for the hive to retrieve more hosts and food. She stopped though as she heard the sounds of a vehicle off in the distance and darted away to slide underneath a large swat truck and hissed slightly as sshe waited tos ee what would arrive.
