Notes[]

ENOUGH!! You've made your point. I'm the only one who can mindlock the Malev Emperor -- so I guess I'm stuck with the job!

-- Rai

I won't even ask how you know so much about the blood. Your answers are always riddles-- a web of half-truths that I'm tired of trying to figure out.

-- Rai

Leeja, I don't have to tell you that I've always loved Magnus. You probably knew it before I did. But Magnus feels as if I couldn't possibly give him the love he needs. As if my love were somehow less real than a human's. Leeja, if you ever see Magnus again, tell him I cared enough to save you--his one true love. --- SQUEEEE!!!

-- Tekla

Hoy, Leeja, you wanna tell Slagger what happened to Tekla?

-- Slagger

Slagger, I --ungh-- think she died of a broken heart.

-- Leeja Clane

Dammit, Rai-- you weren't supposed to return so soon! Well, you've finally seen what I am. What now?

-- Spylocke

But...if you are a Spider Alien, why fight alongside humans?

-- Rai

Earth's plant life-- it's sacred to my people. Look, he was dead anyway, and I had to feed--

-- Spylocke

No! You ghoul. I should kill you! But I desperately need your help, and you've stood by me so far. I trust your motivation in fighting the Malevs, but can I trust you? If I spare you, you'll owe me a debt. Swear allegiance to me, and that you'll not feed on allies and innocents.

-- Rai

Very well, I swear it. I've lived among humans for longer than you know. You're the only man I've ever met who could earn the respect of a Spider Alien warrior.

-- Spylocke
