There was no way I could put myself in their hands without knowing what they thought about me, and frankly, I wasn’t sure how to think about myself.
Who are you, Skitter?
How the hell were they supposed to make a call?
“So. You in?” I tried, instead.
I could see him look back at Miss Militia, who shook her head. “Miss Militia runs the local team, so it’s ultimately her call, but… we’ve talked about it, and I agree with her. No.
That’s a shame. 😦
Although I suppose there is one more option – right, Coil?
The risks outweigh the potential benefits.”
My heart sank. “Then one final tip. You should know that Bonesaw’s done some surgery on all of her people. Implanted protection for the more vulnerable parts of their bodies. They’re tougher than they look.“
Good to be aware of that.
“Thank you,” Legend said. “You might not believe me, but I wish you the best of luck.”
I believe him. He may not be willing to take the risks involved in helping out, but he can relate to the desire to get rid of the Nine and rescue a teammate.
I snarled as I shut the laptop and turned away from the scene, calling my swarm back to me.
Looks like Taylor didn’t believe him, though. Or thought it hypocritical.
Also this has to look pretty cool on the other end, with the swarm dissolving from its humanoid form and flying out.
