Chapter 11 : In the dark, but not blind Part 3.
Etessa observe Marshack expectantly, she needs hear there is another option from and for him, the young Hûrngöth grab the Attire and Slaidt that the female is carrying and supposed to give him from the start.
—Indeed; His voice stoic and unweavering echoing in the chamber »—You are correct Deriell; Etessa smiles, lighting up her face brightly »—I am not giving up, but my short life has make me learn in a harsh way that you should prepare, even if the probability is inexistent, and on this occasion, there is a small amount of chances to ensure my demise due to evident and unbeknown variables.
—How long can you endure without Food?. Inquire Etessa and his reply doesn't surprise her —Who knows, but i have 97% certainty of withstand above nineteen twentieths of the remaining population.
—And most likely is easier to acquire food for them than for you …
Marshack finishes dressing with the stripes and takes a moment before they turn into a full suit, similar to the one of Etessa, but has an evident difference, there is no pearl colour and a dark burgundy is the most primordial tone.
—Indeed, that is why i need you ready to depart after Gorng and myself return from "That" Planet.
Marshack placed on his nose between his closed eyes the "Slaidt", a device with a shape ")(" similar to opposite parentheses, is completely transparent, but the instant of contact with his skin, turns of a Darkest purple shade of colour as imitating the tone of the user's hair, and the attire gets thicker, occulting his malnourished status.
—Here is the most viable solution; Said Marshack waving his left hand and showing a different information over the displayed screen.
Etessa start reading aloud —Plasma-Enriched Liquid Condensate (PELC), our ancestors really liked acronyms; Etessa comment with a tint of joke and Marshack nods acknowledging, because he has read countless of those in the last hours.
»—Pulp of En'ihg Algae - Entrance at Stream Flow "1 of 3", Juice of Osmidium Cactus - Entrance at Stream Flow "2 of 4", Plasma(s) in order of the consumer, Employ Synthesizer.
Etessa understand the connotation but not the actual content »—Is a recipe for Food, but i don't comprehend the meaning of the Plasmas as ingredient or "Stream Flow".
Marshack nonchalantly reply with his stoic voice —Ingesting Plasmas compatible with each individual, maximize the speed absorption of digestion and increase the Nutritional Total Value (NTV) of the food, other practices provide a similar outcome but i didn't delved in them as the first suggestion was Fornication …
Etessa gives a light laugh considering Marshack is not able of mating because their prospects gets knocked down by his pheromones.
He continues »—The "Stream Flow" allows faster than light travel, as "Over The Flow" does, Gorng and myself are capable of "OTF", and accidentally i access the Stream Flow, after leaving it, i encounter those vanta black creatures.
—Again is too much information … ; Mentioned Etessa apologetically, then she shrug it off and states »—But i understood the situation, what do you need from me aside of being ready?.
—Provide training on the operation of the vehicles that Gorng inspects, be sure the candidates are combat ready, adapt quickly and are workaholics.
Etessa has a nervous laugh —You know the last one is illegal, everyone has to rest and sleep at least 3 hours (6.75 human hours) … ; Marshack retorts instantly —"You" and "I" know that the sensors can be bypass lowering the rate of breathing …
Embarrassed she stutters —Y-You knew?. And him just stay silent »—Of course you knew!; Annoyed Etessa deviate her sight and wants to catch him of guard too —If you are malnourished why your genitals are healthy?.
Marshack is unfazed replying with his usual demeanor —Is the second most resilient part of my body.
Not expecting that answer she asks —So your spine is the strongest thing you have?.
—Is the third one, My tail is the most powerful part of my body.
Concerned and interested Etessa want to reassure his words —Your tail and penis are more dangerous than your claws, horns or fangs?.
—Indeed, one more reason to refrain myself and procure to not incite others. She said with clear defiance —The last, is up to "The Others" to decide.
That sentence can have multiple meanings and Etessa realized a bit late, but say confidently and devoid of any doubt »—Even if the decision is wrong, so focus on what you can do, and make sure everyone remember why you are "The Hûrngöth" …
Marshack signals Etessa to follow him, both leave the Personal Chambers and goes straight to the entrance Facility.
In the outside vicinity, lies a couple tens of millions unconscious Hûrngöth, almost all of them injured severely, aside from Peatell with the audiovisual transmitter already on his shoulder —Why we are here Bverxkka?.
Asked Etessa and Marshack reply —To Seed the future of our Species; He turn towards Peatell »—Start the broadcast Hayon.
The young Hûrngöth nods and does his labor, a transmission across Hûlfhednär with Marshack as the host.
—Inhabitants of our broken Homeworld, we are going through the direst moments of our oblivious history, and the times ahead undoubtedly they will be the most unforgiven in our records.
»—The reserves, supply and production of Food is worthless to our new needs, but there is a solution so maybe every single one of you doesn't die from starvation, and the first step is accept what we are, "Hûrngöth from Hûlfhednär".
With that sentence, Peatell deactivate the security measures of the city they live, the gravity spikes up to normal levels and without atmosphere every Hûrngöth who is not inside of a Facilty Shield is going to be asphyxiated.
Marshack takes off his vacuum mask, a transparent device over his nosetril, then he does a few steps and cross the translucent yellowish Facility Shield accompanied by Etessa.
Marshack's [Active Adarga] metalize the skin and seal his nosetril, the attire gets metallic too, and employing the Slaidt he communicates with Peatell to keep the transmission.
*»—As all of you can see, 27.6 millions of Hûrngöth are behind me, i hope they are capable of developing the [Adarga], because we are going to need it*.
The Hûrngöth acquire the [Adarga] and enter on hibernation, gaining in consequence the [Active Adarga], those who are incapable, are squash under the normal gravity of Hûlfhednär, others are suffocating to death, and the most resilient directly obtain the [Active Adarga].
*»—I want the rest of you perform the same prose "Willingly", you have until i return of gather the first ingredient of the nutriment that it is going to become the base of our sustain*.
Marshack observe Etessa and she approach to him closely, letting the youngling to take away her vacuum mask.
Her breath immediately suffer lack of gases to perform the function, the body tense up and fall to her knees, looking at Marshack resolutely, he transmit only to her *—Don't fight it, let it occur, it is not an invasion, is the unweavering and stedy course of nature, "Evolution".*
The female stop the struggling for breathing even when she is still on her knees and without deviating her sight keeps staring at Marshack.
{No matter the outcome, I don't regret wanting to be by your side}.
Etessa smiles and her skin goes from light burgundy to a dark metallic shade with a tiny hexagonal pattern, difficult to observe even with the [Bicromy].
The attire changes too, turning the pearl colour into metallic burgundy as Marshack has.
Extending his hand, he assist Etessa to stand up, then he looks at the audiovisual transmitter and proclaims *»—Our Future is uncertain, the outside is a pitfall close to become another Kern's City or Unmentionable Brightness, and only understanding ourselves while leaving marginal differences aside, we will be able to maintain and progress, because i already said it, WE ARE HÛRNGÖTH FROM HÛLFHEDNÄR …
