"Which end do you want it in, boy? Top or bottom?" He growls.
"Wha... what?!"
You feel like you're about to be exposed to something horrific, but thankfully it's interrupted before it can proceed any further by a light coming down the tunnel, followed by an ungodly noise...
It gets both louder and brighter until you almost want to cover your ears, but then your helmet starts to dampen the noise automatically.
It's a really nice helmet...
"Shit, y'all been busy!" One of the human instructors, the Red-man says, leaning his torso out of possibly the strangest vehicle you've ever seen in your life.
"Busy fuckin' off." David replies, dropping the nozzle, which you hastily pick back up. "You're early, something happen?"
"Naw, i'm just lookin' around. Shit, this place looks like a commie block, don't it?"
"Yeah a little bit. You gonna help us load this shit up?"
"I was just gonna supervise, but you got a lot, huh?"
"Yeah it's a shitton of 'em out here, and they're a little aggressive. We got a few live samples though, that pile over there..."
"...Damn, Gunny. I don't think we can fit but one of them big'uns on the trailer."
"S'alright, we can toss the rest in the bed. I don't think it'll kill 'em."
Your translator can hardly keep up with what they're saying as they chat with eachother. It even throws a few errors, something you've only seen once or twice...
But the Red-man does help with loading up the insects, while "Gunny" shoves Malix into the cab of the truck and straps him into the seat, telling him not to go anywhere.
It takes all four of you, not including Malix, to drag the insect up and onto the large metal trailer attached to the back of this strange vehicle.
Shortly after that's done, it occurs to you that there's only room in the vehicle's cabin for two people... and a child, maybe.
Are you going to stay here with the bugs, or walk home?
You're done, right? You can leave?
"Alright, Ronnie. It's just you, me and SHODAN now." David announces with a big grin.
"...Huh? Are we not done?"
"No, Ronnie. We're not done. Red's gonna have to make at least a couple trips to get these bugs outta here, you know? And besides, i want to check out that nutrient paste dispenser."
"It would serve us well on the carrier if it's still in good condition." SHODAN tells you.
What carrier? You didn't see any carrier when you came here.
"Alright, just follow us for now, and put away that sprayer. No sense contaminating the greenhouses." David orders.
Shit...
David and SHODAN waltz into the greenhouse that Malix broke into without an ounce of fear, although you can clearly see they're checking every corner as they walk.
However, the inside of the building is mostly open, with a large portion of it dedicated to hydroponic basins.
