721 Lobby

Max led the way forward from the front hangars to the lobby area containing the elevators that the attack had come from.

"They think we're stupid, don't they?" Nico stage whispered while Max tried to count the number of Klem hybrids hiding in the small offices around the space.

"Or they think that they can take us if they can surround us." Max agreed, loud enough that a human waiting in the offices could hear him.

That was enough to draw them out, and twenty more of the humanoid hybrids came out with rifles, while two of the large six-armed Klem Warriors climbed down from the ceiling.

"Lay down your weapons and join us. The purity of the collective will welcome you, despite your sins." The humanoids spoke in eerie unison.

Klem didn't usually have a collective mind. If they did, they would be even more dangerous. But either because of the hybridization or because they had a Klem Queen here, these ones did.
