Transcript of interview with Private Mick Langham, ex-1/234th royal
marine
"Unlike the rest of you clowns, I have been there, looked a slimly broken
tusked Kra Vak in the eyes as I drove my bayonet through its multiple
hearts!!!
We're gone man, we have zip chance against the Ks. They are fast and invisible
in space, on the ground, EVERYWHERE. Freaking bastards! Just point me at their
home, I'd get whats left of Bravo Company and turn their homesteads bright
pink, yeah big N the lot of em, F#$k the UN and
peaceful co-existence!
But ya can't fry em, can ya. Cause they lurk in space in their huge fleets,
praying and chanting, serving the all freak'n mighty freak'n Matriarch.
Freak'n Sl*t.
Listen, they know everything about Earth, this is their back yard!!! Ya know
the Maya and Aztec civilizations, yeah...they are the result of the last time
they visited Earth. Remember Chariots of the Gods.
Ya got to listen to me, see their nomadic, stopping for a few years here and
there, then moving on. Earth is in the center of the Va'Ksha territory!! The
Va'Ksha are the local clan and they are coming our way! How do I know? See I
got smart when the sh*t hit the fan on Ross 145. I wanted to know what was
really going down, so I put a syringe into our company spook, and held a
pistol to his head and advised him to cough. Ya kinda get like that when 800
of ya buddies become mince between dusk and dawn.
He told me heaps. The Corporation thinks each clan has a traditional
territory. Each meta-clan might have a run around 30 or 40 light years
in radius. They have no environmental or terra-forming gear like us,
thank freak'n God. Other wise they would go sick with nukes, on our colonies.
We have only been able to sneak up on them because they spend most of their
time patrolling borders preventing trespassers from other
clans. The spook said their might be up to 200 meta-clans, we're f*&ked.
Humans have popped up as a threat in the center of a weak clans territory over
a the last hundred years. Maybe that's why we didn't get wiped out or enslaved
like other species. They think the local Matriarch was having a other
problems. Now the clans nomadic path takes it back to worlds near earth and
they are trying to clean out the unwelcome infestation. Maybe the other clans
don't help as they are happy to see humans bring down a weak clan, maybe they
have problems of their own. Any way who gives a f&*k we're all going to
DIE!!!"
