The Dalki were known for having almost impenetrable bodies. Even shells shot from tanks wouldn't necessarily harm them, yet the young man's hand managed to pierce through it as if it was nothing.
'What is this? Why is my body moving away on its own? This has never happened before.'
The other Dalki in the dark canteen had instinctively distanced itself from Quinn. Dalki were battle hungry beings, carelessly diving into a fight at the first best opportunity not caring for the risk of getting hurt, as that would only further their growth.
However, for this reason Dalki were often unaware that they also had a human side in them. After seeing its companion getting killed with such ease, for the first time it experienced the feeling of fear.
Alas, it was far too late for it to flee. It didn't take long for Quinn to move on to the confused creature and before it could react, its chest had been pierced in the same manner.
