Stalker lets out another series of clicking noises and snarls from under his mask. "[i]...Challenging. Mighty. Horrendous. The ultimate hunt[/i].."
-
"Maybe it would be better if you two found a way to work together, the best honor is in working with who were once your enemies."
-
He scoffed and laughed at the idea. His laugh was strangely close to that of a human. "[i]...Impossible![/i]"
-
"I'm friends with the king of hell and one of my crew mates is a geth, a sapient machine race that drove my kind from our home world. I know what I'm talking about."
-
He finished laughing, but did not consider what she said. To him the idea of mortal enemies working together was still an impossible one to understand.
-
"Are you so blinded by what you know that you won't consider anything that you don't know?"
-
He stands up and walks over to her. Regardless of how he slightly slouched down because of his knee, he still towered over her. "[i]It...cannot be..[/i]"
-
"Then show me why it can't. He's killing for survival and you're killing for honor, try to reason why you two can't find a way to co exist."
-
He snarled in her face. "[i]Survival....no. It...is mindless. Killing is..all it knows.[/i]"
-
"I saw its mind, this isn't some normal thing you hunt. It's smarter then you think."
-
He turned to look at the Xenomorph. Indeed it was much more than an average serpent. Stalker refused to admit to it however.
-
"You're scared that if it's smarter then you think, it has a soul. That killing it means you've killed a one of a kind creature."
-
He shook his head and placed both hands on the side of his head, still denying it.
-
"Just accept it, you'll feel better....."
-
He looked at the Xenomorph, then his knee, and then back at her. Maybe she was right. Maybe she was wrong. It troubled him.

-
"[i]....Disgraceful.[/i]"
-
"And why's that?"
-
He avoided the question and looked down.
-
"So, are you going to make peace with him?"
-
Stalker spoke ominously. "[i]...Why.[/i]" His statement was very general but strong as well. It was practically everything he had to say on the matter condensed into one simple word.
-
"Because I believe you two could be very powerful if you worked together...."
-
"[i]...Powerful for...what reason.[/i]" To Stalker, there was no reason to become more powerful. If he were to fail in a hunt, it was because he deserved to die.
-
"To hunt stronger things. To you, failure means you can't try again. To me, failure means I learned what not to do."
-
You hear the Xenomorphs mangled voice in your head again. It was behind you, staring. [i]YOU THINK WE CAN FORGET YEARS OF RIVALRY BETWEEN OUR SPECIES AND WORK TOGETHER?![/i]
