“Shut your damn mouth brat, or else I’m gonna make you!” Maru growled out at the crying Cragmite girl in her cage, which he carried over his shoulder and had covered with a blanket, as he made his way into the alley by the Time company’s building, stopping by a door leading into it as if waiting for it to open up for him.
He was late with his job but, it wasn’t his fault the Cragmite girl got help from some stranger to travel to Thram where she lived with some old Lombax lady. A scribe from what he could see, not that he cared really.
His ears perked up when he heard the door’s lock unlock then open up, revealing the cyborg Lombax in all his grace.
“Took you long time, almost though you wouldn’t come.” Hector told the Hayan with a small chuckle after he opened the door fully, earning a small growl from the Hayan who looked anything but happy with what he said.
“Stumbled upon some troubles yesterday when I found the girl on Thram, some old scrawny Lombax lady had been looking after her and I had to get rid of her to get this brat.” Maru huffed out in annoyance after handing over the small cage containing the cloned Cragmite to Hector, expression turning sour at the thought of what happened. He still got the scribe’s blood on his claws since he forgot to wash them after the encounter, caught a few peoples attention when he was making his way through town but, with his intimidating appearance no one dared to ask him why they were like that.
But Hector barely listened to any of the things the Hayan said when he got the girl, pulling away the blanket from the cage so he could see the terrified girl in it with his own eyes, organic and cybernetic. “Finally I will be able to find out how Mr. Ickabar succeeded on cloning this girl, and be able to do even more clones from it.”
“Yeah, yeah. All happy ending for you, and all that shit. Now how about those bolts you promised me?” Maru was quick to ask the cyborg-lombax after hearing his little speech, tapping his foot impatiently and flickering his tail.
“Already transferred them over to your account before you arrived, you should be able to do much with those bolts Mr. Whariz.”
“Before you go, I want to ask you something.” Maru started of which caused the cyborg-lomax to look up at him, a curious look in his eyes. “Who’s the father to that girl? I mean, there weren’t many Cragmites to take DNA samples from after the stuff that happened on Fastoon - and when you started your company, Time.”
“I know and that’s why it should be really simple for you to figure out who her father is, I mean... he did cause a lot of troubles while he was around.”
“You’re not telling me that-”
“Yes I am, whether you like it or not. This girl’s father is Tachyon, the Cragmite who forced my kind to flee into another dimension with help from my device.” He looked down at the girl in her cage, a devilish smile coming to his lips as he then said, “So by getting her back I’m doing the universe a favor, and as soon as I find her mother... I’ll kill them both.”
