Colonel Burns was brought on board at Angaros' request as well as eight other men from his old unit. The team that stormed the building would consist of sixteen, himself, Burns, eight of his men and six men and two women from the defenders, the name by which the secret organization called itself. Although Burns outranked him, Angaros was in charge of the operation and given a six star insignia on his new uniform. Another twenty would guard the exterior and prevent any snorpians from escaping. True to his word, Jason, the number two man in the defenders, gave him everything he asked for and more. The entire team was fitted with CNT (carbon nanotube) armor coated with a special reflective compound designed as a defense against snorpian lasers, …show more content…
“NO! He's got to die, let me go!”
One of the men holding him said, “Shut up knight and stop squirming.”
The snorpian was on his feet and running, two creatures with six limbs, four of which were legs ran by Angaros in the dark, he didn't get a good look at them, but the impression they left him with was that they were insect-like. They quickly overhauled the fleeing snorpian and knocked him roughly to the ground. Then they picked him up by the arms and dragged him back.
The impossibly huge man said, “Where do you think you're going Red? No one leaves without my permission, try it again and you're dead. Now tell me what you are, I've never seen one of you're kind before.”

“The snorpians are smart enough, but I don't think they're any more intelligent than the rest of us. The snorpians are a brutal manipulative race, they forcibly rape and impregnate females not of their own kind. They're invading my home world and obviously, since they had a portal coming here, they have designs on yours as well. They have a venom in their fangs that takes away the will of their victims and makes them their willing slaves.”
Franno said, “Okay Red, tell me about the Captain.”
“His race is the brutal one, if left to their own devices they would destroy themselves. They need the intervention of my race in order to survive. In exchange for our benevolent intervention, we require their service to us, some of that service involves their females acting as hosts for our offspring. A fair trade-off for both sides. As far as the Captain as an individual, I can only assume he's typical of his race, kill first and ask questions
