The attack was swift and our losses severe but we survived, maybe out of luck or not but now we needed to re-group and find the rest of our forces before launching an attack and wiping this infestation once and for all. Captain 7690-6789-1-Kreyar was injured and so I should be prepared to take her place and let her end her part in our search for atonement for Krieg by dying in a fight against this Xenos.
" Can you still do your duties." I asked as I walked past the bodies and approached her as she began patching herself up.
She looked up at me seemingly in thought and in silence apart from the occasional sound from her mask. There was blood on her mask…most likely not hers though she seemed to have lost a lot of blood.
" Yes…..my search for atonement has not been reached. How many did we lose and how many did we kill?." She asked although she had most likely already scanned and knew her surroundings along with the current situation.
" We are down to just 6 and managed to take out 2 of them." I replied plainly as the situation did not look good and we must re-group with our other forces if we are to achieve our objective.
" We lost 18 and managed to kill 2 of these Xenos...we would need more to clear this infestation. " she said as now she finished wrapping the wound and was on her feet ready to keep moving.
" Salvage what we can from the dead and then we shall continue on our way to find our larger part." she said aloud before going forward and searching through the dead bodies of our dead kin for things we could use.

( Groan, Groan )
A groan kept re-sounding from my left and based on it's familiar sound which included the sound of breathing to which I had heard thousands of time, I was sure it was one of mine though it looks like 'it's' struggling but for me I just kept silent in thought and began trying to find some sort of way to cause as much damage as possible to these Xeno's. I've got my frag Grenades and photon Flash Grenades, if I am able to deceive them into thinking I died from the blood loss I could surprise them by....no they will detect that before I am able to do enough damage…..maybe a shovel and bayonet in both hands....too slow...or I could try signaling any...take out the leader….buy time.
' Or you could simply bid your time and try to survive.' A voice said suddenly in my head, It sounded frustrated and utterly annoyed.
'…Impossible.. my luck has run out and these are...these are...' I said as the word seemed to escape from my mind….but I knew them.
' They are…...Drukhari….the worst kind of capturers you could ever encounter." I said in reply to her statement.
' Again your luck hasn't run out!!, just wait and be patience. You promised me…..remember?" she said to me with an aggressive voice before softening it as what seemed like hope engulfed it. Again I was reminded once more of a promise that seemed to become dimmer and dimmer by the day, I was young and naïve when I made such a promise, just hardly even began earning my worth back on Krieg.
Silence soon engulfed my mind as I did not bother to think of something that won't last another month much less a Year. The occasionally groaning from my side soon stopped as did the familiar sound of the breathing of my kin. 'It' was dead or simply faking it.
I do not know how far I was dragged but soon it stopped but my back was as original as when it began it's journey on the cold floor mere minuets ago. Soon I heard loud chatter as I arrived on what I would dare call their advanced base, the thing we had been trying to find for weeks if not months though now that I did find it…..I didn't have the number to destroy it neither could I contact main command of such a find.
Soon a figure blocked my view of thw surroundings through my 'face' as what seemed to be my captor looked at me….not with the kind of smile you would expect from her kind but rather a more curious less sadistic look. She kicked me hard at my waist, however I didn't react at all apart from my body moving from the force of the kick.
" isjfu jhurv ejhbvr ejbfe wvt4q." a male voice said aloud as I looked towards where it came from and saw 'it'. The Drukhari stabbed 'it' but it didn't move and so he raised 'it' and checked mostly likely to see if 'it's' dead. 'It' was….and I would suspect the same outcome for all other captured with me apart from me.
Suddenly the female Drukhari looked at me and a huge wide smile plastered itself on her face….she looked at me like no other being had...I was a prize to her. Suddenly she brought out Cuffs which had noticeable protruding spikes from it and then forcibly cuffed me, though instinctively I fought back once our body had come in contact with each though she seemed to enjoy what seemed to be a prey's struggle until I brought out my bayonet and went for a slash to which she dodged swiftly as her legs spun and what seemed to be shoes with sharp heels pierced through my wrist and slammed them to the ground, quickly I threw my body with it to prevent it my arm from being ripped off.
Quickly a knife or better yet a sword pierced into my leg as the Drukhari cuffed my hands and I felt them being pierced but gave no audible affirmation of it. She…stopped smiling as she shortyl after as she removed her foot and looked at me…deeply before removing the blade at my shoulder and yet again any audible confirmation that it pierced a living being did not come out. As she removed her blade from my leg…..she dragged me deeper into their base before dropping me off in a room leaving me in there to my faith I presume…of course there were Guards.
