29 Chapter 29 The Dreams Breaking (1/2)
Dustin closed his eyes for a moment.
”Of course, you do,” he finally said with a sigh.
Time to revise his plan of action.Teach the stick people how to fight, then sneak into the shuttle port, get off the damn planet, find his genetic material to become human again, grab the hot chick, and leave this nightmare in his dust.
”I would recommend your first course of action, to be finding a way to hide from the drones.If you can successfully hide from them for a period of seven days, they will assume you are dead.” The prince looked thoughtful as he said this.
”Then how do those things work?”
”The first thing the drones look for, is movement.The second is color differences in the normal spectrum.The third is heat, and I think the fourth thing they look for is electromagnetic signatures.”
”Shit!How the hell am I supposed to hide from all of that? I might be better off heading back into that cave and hiding out there for a week.”
”That would be an option, though I hesitate to return to that place,” he said with a shudder.
”That would not be good for us.We must have the sun to survive.”
”But, you're underground right now,” pointed out Dustin, annoyed.
”Short periods out of the sun will not harm us.”
Dustin stared at the twig girl for a moment, as an idea started to form in his head.Looking around at the cave he was in, he decided to give it a try.
”What about this place.It's plenty big enough for me to sleep in, and you could go out, kill things for me, and bring them back.”
She did not like that, and he could tell right away.
”Look,” he said, before she could object, ”We'll start you off small.You can get used to killing things slowly, over the next week or so, then once I've gotten enough genetic material to hide from those drones, I'll start teaching you how to kill bigger things.”
He had no idea if this would work, or not, but he had to try something.I was sick of fighting harder and harder things.If he had to lay low for a week to get them off his tail, he'd do it.Let the whole fucking system reboot, or whatever.
”Alright,” she grudgingly agreed.”We shall see if this works.We are not happy with this plan as we do not like to kill things.”
”You can't go to war without knowing how to kill things!That's the whole point of war, to kill your opponent!” exclaimed the prince.
”Actually,” Dustin started, then stopped himself.There could be a way to do this without killing the damn birds, but he wasn't willing to put in that much effort.The whole fucking race could die for all he cared!
