Interspecies Persuasiveness.

Afton slides his roots into the gap between the anti-air gun and the ship, slowly wrenching the opening wider so that he could fit inside... Unfortunately, he may have put a tad too much strength in one of his tugs...

*CLAK!*

*CREEEEEEeeeEEEEK!*

*CRAASH!*

The platform the anti-air gun was on abruptly torn away from the mothership, getting ejected as the vacuum of space start sucking in all the air from the other side.

Afton has to move aside as a bunch of aliens are pulled out of the mothership, each giving soundless screams as their heads bulge, and their large black eyes explode out of their heads...

Alongside the aliens were many mechanical components, meaning the breached room was likely some sort of engineering bay... Probably a compartment for resupplying the anti-air gun's ammo.

Afton shakes his head and ignores it, pulling himself inside just as a blast door slams closed behind him. Preventing any more air from being lost to the blackness of space... Afton breathes a sigh of relief, not having breathed for the time after he'd jumped outta his ship.

Once he'd composed himself, he takes a cautionary glance around the room, finding it looking similar in aesthetics to the exterior... White metal with many turquoise lights and fixtures... He wondered if the aliens had trouble with their eyes, as, it was so bright that extended stays might actually harm a regular person's vision.

There wasn't really anything left in his current room due to it all being sucked out into space, but that didn't really matter... Now he was onboard, he doubted the aliens could do anything to stop him...

The first thing he needed to do was try and find some sort of obviously conspicuous self-destruct switch... If that didn't exist, he'd just have to butcher every alien cunt on this ship... Afterwards using the mothership to blow up the other two large ships that seemed intent on destroying the human race.

He nods with the fire of determination burning in his eyes... Just as a few aliens walk inside with a bunch of tools, presumably to repair the breach...

Afton looks up and can't help but give them a vicious grin, the aliens slowly backing up with a look of terror written on their faces.

He chuckles, taking a step towards them as his plant arms releases many roots that cover the room. blocking the exit. "Oh no, you aren't going anywhere... Not until you tell me where the bridge, or command center of the ship is." he growls menacingly...

The short green creatures immediately try to split, all turning towards the door and trying to tear at the roots so they could get away.

As soon as their stick-like arms touch the material though, the roots envelop them like a cocoon, only leaving their faces exposed.

Afton walks over and grips one of the alien's cheeks, making it look at him as he leans over to match its height. "You will talk, one way or another... The only difference is how long I'll have to torture you for." he says, quietly using his roots to check their bodies over for any devices... He was not letting another sacrificial suicide attempt happen again.

The alien in response just gathers fluids in its mouth and tries spitting a green globule of saliva at Afton's face... Afton just captures it with cup shaped root, afterwards splattering the spit back onto the aliens face. "Not smart." he states, making the root-cocoon drill a hole into one of the alien's fingers.

"EEEEAAARKKKKKK!" It screeches as Afton accidentally severs its finger.

"TALK!" he commands again, allowing the cocoon to slowly compress the alien's head to increase the pressure further.

"*AHK!*... "Never... We... Talk! BEFORE... BETRAY... DIE!" it slowly annunciates as it feels its head slowly getting crushed.

Afton nods, "Ah? Really? Alright then I guess." he jokingly states, glancing at the two other aliens he has captured... He looks each of them in the eyes before dramatically increasing the pressure on his original target.

The alien screeches in agony as roots pierce its body all over... The compression of its head progresses further, causing green blood to stream down its nose. Not long after, one of its eyes *POP* disgustingly out of its socket.

The eye signals the beginning of the end however, as a *Crrrraaack!* sounds out just as the aliens head gets squashed in a disgusting fashion.

Afton turns around with a smile, his green-blood splattered face looking as if he'd descended from hell in the alien's eyes.

"Well, that's one down, I got two more tries to get this right... Oh, I should warn you... You don't want to be the last one left... Because then, I'll have to pull out all the stops to get what I want..." he walks towards them and squats down, "Think about it, I'll keep hunting others of your species until I get what I want... Why not tell me and live past this moment?"

...

Upon not getting an answer from the unsure-looking aliens, he slowly nods and shows his palms, "Hm, alright. I'll give one last offer. Whoever gives me information first gets to live. The one who doesn't? I'll tear you apart, limb from limb, cell by cell... Then, I'll clone you from what's left, and use you to design a virus, similar to the one you used against my people." he explains, glaring at both of the aliens.

...

The creatures look at one another as if communicating with their eyes... After two minutes of waiting, and still not getting a response, Afton just cracks his knuckles and grins, "Fine, the hard way it is."
