chapter 34

when he heard me and notices who I am he seems like he woke up a little, while we talk I got more details on him, as while he is chubby he does have some muscle though more recent so he may be from one of the earlier groups that came to the surface, he has dirty red hair

" why are you doing this about the roof, isn't this the most dangerous building job so far?"

as passed with hard breaths

" just, some, friends, you know?"

as they lean against the column a bit to make sure if they ever fall, it wouldn't be over the railing as I continue

" Huh, I couldn't say I don't understand, but this mission? maybe one of your friends was one of the first few that started this thing. "

" Not, necessarily"

as they begin to shorten there words as I can also see that we are nearing the roof again to let down the stuff as he goes down again and I continue on to working on whatever I could help help, and while the guy only said a little I'm sure I'll recognize them when they appear as while I'm working I feel something that I expected

eyes of some people working started to look over at me as I continue and while their not intense enough since this is the first day of me wearing it as well as the divide hasn't been made yet, thankfully, it still made me a tiny bit nervous, though I still smile all the same as I continue on

also staying on the roof gets me time to converse with Cody again, and while not much is said it is still a nice time while I handle the "glass" and the the prices of metal that hold the stuff as I look over the entire being built roof, I'll say it halfway, as Cody will say 52 percent, though I've no idea how they did that

so we continue on until the day passes, and we start to head down for the day as I already have a meeting with Jerry and the research duo to have

_

when Wolf said something about a small emergency, I decided it was a good time for me to come with as well as me and him went over to see what the issue was, and it was clear what

"seems like Cook just needed us to deal with the overgrown spider, all human targets seem to be long dead, and clearly it's not an actual danger from the spider, more an annoyance, well, for them of course"

"Ah should be fine then, I'll just"

" Oh, wait a second, will you? I have something to ask, if you don't mind, that is"

" Really, huh? OK then, what Is it, while Cook is good? They should be getting tired right now. "

" Ah, it's nothing, I just had an interesting conversation, if your curious as to what, just kill the thing without wrecking it's carapace"

" ok then, I can work with that. Now you just get them away so they could have a break and avoid the grime from"

" You know full well they wouldn't care."

" Correct, I was thinking about you,"

wolf says with a small chuckle from my annoyed look as they go over and seem to form a box and walk towards the spider as I pull Cook out of the area

" Ah, hello you two, this was an entertaining trip, sadly however it could not be completed,"

" Of course, also when did the hunters get a metal spider of all things?, they generally tame the smaller ones? would love to cut the source by the roots"

" no clue, I did however get a map to leads to more bases in further areas however, from a cadaver, it ain't gonna be too accurate as time passes but it is something for the trouble"

" Don't lie. You clearly enjoyed it,"

" Either way, I worry the amount of paperwork because of the thing"

" I guess that is something to worry about."

as wolf presses a button on the box as a gas starts to engulf the spider as if it realizes what is happening, it begins to try to get away from the gas only to be pulled back by wolf causing it to swing violently trying to get away, as me and Cook watch as it will soon slow, and then stop as wolf walks up to its head and makes a blade that goes through its eyes to the Brain killing then putting something inside it i couldnt see as he walks over to me

" So what is the reason for the ask? I'm curious now. "

" Ah, with some conversations from a particular human, we can use this carapace to replace metals well, metal for a small while, there is plenty of it, so why not, though question? couldn't you have just given Cook a gas mask?"

as they speak up

" Indeed, there is little grime to be seen. The thing is just dead, other than the eyes,"

" Oh, just wait a little."

as the corpse seems to be, inflating a little, as I sigh and go into the shadows to avoid what's coming

as the tiny spaces between every solid piece of carapace, as it suddenly begins to bubble up and then practically dissolve as the " stuff" from within the course starts pushing out through the new openings as the carapace gets displaced then coverd in the stuff start leaking out and covering them until the spider becomes unrecognizable with pops from the pressure sometimes shooting out as I couldnt help feeling sick even without a stomach

" What, the hell wolf!?"

" What we don't have to do dissasembly, and you just said the carapace"

as they chuckle a little at me as I growl in annoyance and sigh

" You don't happen to have the ability to make a giant pressure washer, do you?"

" Yep, but not the water needed."

" Of course, let's just get this carapace to give metal a break, I'd rather her not becoming a masochist too,"

" I'll get going then to report to -"

" Don't you dare Cook. There are still small pieces in all that gunk,"

" making me want paperwork, a new low"

I couldn't help but sigh as I see wolf already getting some pieces as I soon joined in with some disgust as Cook joins last with a sigh. At least we are all suffering, except wolf

Jerry was over looking at a built box home 2.0 as I managed to stop him midway from going inside

" Did you get the two ? also sorry for interrupting your entering of your new home?"

" Ah, we decided to do it later at night,"

" Huh? why at night? it gets pretty dark. "

" Not if we find each other outside the base."

" Ah, fair point then, so, enjoy your moment?"

" we could just stick with each other till the sun comes down so there would be no confusion."

" That is a fair point."

as we both enter the home, I can see the excitement in Jerry's eyes. As he looks over all around at the new place as he starts taking out the multitude of signs out, and from out of his backpack placing them in a pile, in wich I should have figured he wouldn't leave behind those notes, reminds me of the weird mask I left there, though I'll get it later atleast my dreams before it didn't have me dying myself, as I get myself up to help Jerry place the signs aswell, as afterword I had Jerry take a seat on his new bed and staying up as I begin my discussion

" You see, the sticky balls right small yet work as a charm to delay a spider as you have already discovered."

" Indeed, while it will stop a light spider enough to catch something I plan to do, for the larger ones unless you hit the eyes, it will be a small distraction."

" Indeed, however, what if we have the sticky balls stick together, and with their combined strength of 3 to make it from an annoyance to a great stopping point?"

as Jerry raises his hand with a clear question in mind as I nod to say ok to it

" But, aren't acid spiders worth just 20 points? as a sticky ball is 5 each, that is the main forces for the patrols that pass by, also I think a better use is having them on the armor to climb, which, we know was already done, and I personally whill just use them to catch the much smaller light spiders"

after he finished his question, I took down the plan and just sighed

" ok, plan b-"

" Plan b?"

as that is how the time passed inside Jerry's new home as i go from plan to plan as him alone while trying to be soft about completely nullifies them, showing I'm nowhere near a genius in plans, and I ended up with two out of ten left leaving a bit hurt by the end of it

_

when me and the others took what's left to metal as they start their scanners to notice us shambling over to her especially myself slowly going up to her like a zombie they couldn't help but have a concerned look on their face no eyes needed

" The hell happen to you all? was the emergency level too low? i could -"

" Nope, just, gross."

curious as they walk over to us and have their hand spread out to sensors touching the carapace and the grime. Lucky she couldn't really feel it as she smiles over to wolf

" Ah, well, it looks like you used the spider disassembly weapon. How effective was it? Was zims expertise good enough?"

wolf shrugs with the chuckle, ignoring the Zim comment

"dead by the time I actually used it since shadow had a small idea."

" What is it then, something to test the new carapace that has just arrived!"

she said, smiling over in my direction with a sharp and crazed smile, her sensors still looking over the carapace I was holding like usual

" Ah, something about it being used to replace you,"

" Aw, you know full well that's a lie even zim would tell, what could, it, actua- . . . oh"

her smile shakes as little as it becomes more genuine and her stare more clear as she seems more saddened

" Ah, you two, I guess, I'll say, thanks, certainly beats disassembling myself. Sadly, I'm sure this wouldn't last very long, but really, thanks,"

as the smile returns to its sharp, crazed form. Yet again, as if the earlier clarity hasn't happened

" But oh, I definitely love that you kept the gore for me to test the weapons effectiveness! even if bug will disapprove!"

as I couldn't help but sigh seeing her go back to the usual as we place the stuff and leave her to it. It's painful when she goes back and forth, and as I look over to Cook, who is also leaving, I could see they think the same
