Resilient Adversary

Though the unclean whale was far from his prime, his ability to resist the aggression of the nearby ace mechs was surprising for a beast that had remained in slumber and captivity for many years.

This was not a pariah that had been drained of strength and phasewater!

Though the phase whales had taken the trouble to isolate the unclean whale in an obscure asteroid prison that was situated far from the center of the dwarf galaxy, for the creature to retain so much health and combat strength was perplexing!
