33 Chapter 33 So many dreams! (1/2)
Dustin was speechless, and not just because he couldn't talk in this form.Had they really thought he had killed someone, an alien, possibly someone sent to spy on him…
The PED gave the option for spies to be everywhere.If the alien had died, and they thought he had done it, then the aliens would want compensation, regardless of the fact that they had been spying.This was so messed up, and thinking about it, made his head hurt.
Keeping pace with the prince, while he thought, was easy.This form was excellent at it. He would have to make sure he kept his PED when he escaped from this planet.
So, what he knew so far, was that he had been someone who reverse engineered alien tech for a company, possibly the government.And he was pretty sure this was true, because he hadn't had any problems upgrading the PED.
Someone had died, probably a roommate, not an ex-girlfriend, and he was charged with murder.Why no one thought it was an accident was still a mystery with him, but everything pointed at him being punished as a murderer.
Now, it looked like an alien had been sent to spy on his progress, possibly a Josagn?If he was working on Josagn technology, it would explain why his tools were always missing in all of his dreams.
It seemed, from the last set of memories, that he was sent here, to this planet, as payback for killing the person.
Also, he probably wasn't rich, and he wasn't sure if his dad had been a military hero.Wondering about going forward again, Dustin started to speed up, when he felt a vibration of something approaching.
This time, it was below ground.Turning his attention to it fully, he realized it was another worm, a much bigger worm, an angry worm!
The fear that spike through him, made him realize these things must have territorial boundaries, and he, being new to the area, was encroaching.What was he supposed to do?
”PED is my bite still deadly, as in my previous form?”
(NEGATIVE, HOST REQUESTED A COMPLETE CHANGE.)
”Shit! Quick! Initiate the venomous bite with all of the same stuff it had prior to this form.”
(INITIATING EVOLUTION)
Bracing himself, he stopped moving, and waited for the worm to get close enough to attack.
It pulled up next to him, breaking into his tunnel, and whipped its tentacles towards him, in a quick attack.
He returned the favor, shooting his tentacles at his opponent, except his tentacles were different from its.
(EVOLUTION COMPLETE)
Spines covered his tongue like tiny needles filled with a toxic venom that dripped with dangerous promises.The moment his tentacles came into contact with the other worm, it seemed to shudder in intense pain, then started to spasm encased in its tunnel.
Dustin moved away quickly, hoping it didn't give him away to whatever sensory devices the Josagn were using to watch the prince.As he rushed away from the worm, and towards the prince, he got too close, and was hit with more memories.
-”Dustin, can you come by today?I have another one of those tiny screwdrivers you like so much.This one's a fourteen, instead of a nine, like the last time.”
