The Gloriont blinked at Sarve, looking ill and a little pale before pointing at the corpse on the floor, "Do those eyes on your head work, or can you truly not see that?   It’s them!  Bugs!  Frelling bugs! I saw it!  This station is overrun!  We need to get out of here before they chew us both into appropriately sized pieces for your little Hezmana spawn to eat!"

"Quick!" he declared, apparently assuming Sarve would do what he said, "We need to get onto that Colony ship!”

[I]“Oh, please don't remind me,[/I]” Sarve thought as the Gloriont looked like he was about to soil himself. He'd already thrown up, thank you very much, and the moth-like alien that had killed the would-be mugger and attempted murderer was already gone like seeds in the soil. Of course, he already had seen some violent films, but the real thing was, well, quite different. And real.

He'd decided to look away, pretending that the corpse behind them didn't exist. He spoke to the Gloriont like it was just another day in a peaceful space station simply to distract himself. It had pretty much worked, as he didn't feel too disgusted anymore.

The Gendari, however, was far more connected to reality than he was. He immediately started ranting about the bugs. The Metacer, right? They weren't aboard the station, weren't they? It's not like Metacer could pilot shuttles. 

Well, unless some idiot brought the things aboard. Like an idiot.

“Bugs? Haha, you're just paranoid, there's no way they're up here! I know what a Metacer looks like, and they don't tend to leave… uh, survivors.” Sarve continued to act like there was no dead body, as if pretending that it wasn't there would make it go away. It's not like the man was a particularly friendly character. The moth-like alien, who was fleeing the scene just as Sarve slithered in, was of a species that Sarve had never seen before. Maybe his readings on the other integrated species of Eden and its colonies weren't complete? But if it isn't in the archives, then it doesn't exist, doesn't it? Ah well.

There's always something new.

“But,” Sarve continued, “A group of armed individuals were talking about having the necessary skills unlocking the docking locks in the bar. I was about to join their conversation when Verminslayer here suddenly ran off. Now, let us proceed to the Colony Ship in an orderly manner. We don't want to cause a crowd to gather, right?”
