Why Humans Make Bad Pets!

I'm killing them V

"What that f**k is going on- [unintelligible clicking]?!" Mama burst into the room. I think she'd heard me talking. d**k had turned off his precious little two way translator though, and I was back to hearing nothing but clicking as Mama moved her mouth in anger. I would have punched d**k in the face if he hadn't been right in what he had been saying right before Mama interrupted us. It would take too long if we had to explain everything to her. Sorry Mama, I hope d**k explains to you why I did what I'm about to do.

I grabbed the purple syringe from Shifty's limp hand and leapt at Mama. My weight bore her to the ground, and I hated myself as I inserted the needle into her arm and I injected the smallest amount of sedative that I could. It worked. She fainted mid-click, but continued breathing.

"Thank you. I would not have been able to do that myself and we are pressed for time." Screw him. I threw the syringe at him, hitting him in the face.

"Mature. Follow me to the shuttle, and bring Dr. UtMot with you."

"Wait." I said. I grabbed the empty syringe from Shifty and found a vein. Heck I was better than d**k here. I drew a full syringe of my blood and placed it next to Mama. "So she knows I didn't just abandon her."

"How chivalrous of you." d**k sneered. "Now come, we must hurry." I picked up Shifty and followed d**k through the station. After a quick jog we entered a cavernous room with several small ships in them. d**k opened up the nearest one and started punching orders into the console. "I'm setting the ships course to the correct location. Once I open the shuttle bay doors, hit that red button to lock the course and the ship will do the rest. Once you land, you won't have long before they realize something's amiss, so I'd advise attacking them sooner rather than later. You have the pill?" I showed it too him. "Whatever you do, do not allow yourself to be captured, or else we gave them everything they needed. This is our only chance to destroy any hope they have of ever succeeding. If we mess it up, they'll still have the research UtMot was able to already conduct."

"I know, you've already said all of this". He smiled.

"Just don't want your nerve failing you and forgetting what's at stake."

"Believe me, I know exactly what's at stake," I said, thinking of Mama, Dink, heck, even Severus; bastard.

"Excellent. Don't let me die," d**k said with a greasy smile. f**k him. Too bad I couldn't save everyone but him. The shuttle door closed and he walked into a room and closed the door. I could see him at a console through the large window that composed nearly an entire wall of the room he'd just entered. He pushed a couple buttons and the cargo bay door began to open. He stopped it when it was open enough and then pointed at me, which I took for a signal. I pressed the red button, and the shuttle lifted from the ground. I hope Mama would know why I left. Really I wasn't abandoning them. They were safe, right? Why do I still feel guilty?
