"I left my dynasty for a reason I don't the C'tan taking the galaxy but things happen so... yeah." George said but in the back of his mind he was laughing so hard.
@Uriel1339 "Den letz get to da top, shoot a hole an climb up dat way den, stoopid" of course, the most important of the panzees have to be the ones with no brains in between their pointy ears. They had an idea involving tons of Dakka to get them out, and yet it's being dismissed for other plans that don't involve shooting. How small are Eldar brains anyway. Maybe that superiority complex of theirs is to compensate for actually being daft as squigs. It would make an impeccable amount of sense. "Well let's be gettin sumwherez. Muckin' bout aintz gettin uz outtah 'ere en'nee fastah." @BuriasDempsey He couldn't help but smirk at the little nid. "Yeah, well my pilez biggah." His stomach started growling. He was seriously at this point of all of this times? To be fair, he was on his way to pick up something to eat and wasn't expecting to be dropped in the middle of all of this madness. His Ork side came up with a quick solution to the problem. So he meandered over to one of the more whole mantis bodies and bit into the thing. It didn't taste great, but good food wasn't a luxury they had going for them at this time. He looked over to the gaunt, knowing that hormagaunts were driven by their ravenous hunger, he was thinking that it was probably applying to him too. So he might as well offer Jack a bite if he wanted it. "Wantz sum?" he asked sincerely, holding the mantis corpse with his bite mark toward Jack.
"And when the rock comes collapsing down? I dont see any other food sources down here, the bugs must have a way to get to the surface right Jack?" Jack was the resident bug expert at least.
@Maleth Tyler let out a small whoop of joy when his idea was endorsed by the Phoenix Lord, sticking out his tongue ath the Dark Eldar. "Looks like the guy knows a truly genius plan when he hears one." He said haughtily, trying to get a rise from her. @BuriasDempsey @GobMaw_HellSmasha "Well naturally. They're Eldar after all. Snobbishness is part of their DNA." He laughed at his own little joke as he tried to clean out some of the gore from his chainswords. This laughter quickly faded away when he saw Gerald begin to dig into some raw Mantis meat, and offering a hunk of it to Jack. Seems like he was truly embracing his role. "Gerald man, I can't wait to tell you that you ate giant, raw alien bug." @Uriel1339 Iryllith and William seemed to already have a solid plan of what they'd be doing, so Tyler didn't see any need to build upon it. He did after all have the idea in the first place! "Whatever we're doing, I'll take point. Hack apart whatever gets in our way."
@MetalDog4 Jack gobbled up the offered piece without second thought, just now realizing the hungry underneath the massive amount of energy he constantly felt. Digging into another corpse, he heard Robert ask him a question over the sound of chitin being cracked open. "Thefacttheyareinaswarmisoddformantises, asolitarypredator, butthatshouldmeanthereisawayoutifthisisahive. Aslongasthisisn'tacutallyaundergroundfoodchaininthefirstplace." he explained quickly, reminding they are dealing with an alien environment so the same rules of nature on earth might not apply here as well. Or the fact all life on this planet might be a cave like ecosystem.
"I have not seen their food source yet, well.... You know beyond one of my companions who came down here with me before we got separated. So I would be not surprised if they were forced to become carnivores at some point. Perhaps human terraforming attempts having poisoned the planet too far... Would be not the first time." He shrugged slightly, his shoulders moving less than an inch up and down as the Prism Rifle was ready, glowing in an ominous ice-blue. The group marched on and eventually got into the tunnel system. So far, so good. They were faced with the challenge of going left or right. "I came from there." The Phoenix Lord points left. "So we are going that way." He walked up the right tunnel. Despite being in the middle, he was aware the group came for him and had to stick with him. At least testing their patience would do well and to see how much boundaries he got within the group. "I am quite surprised that while I know not any of you, you all seem to know me. Not surprised of my unique equipment, my name, purpose or anything. Makes me wonder of where you get your intel from? Certainly not a bounty, would it?" The Phoenix Lord questioned as they walked now the tedious path upwards.

"If it were a bounty, wouldn't we have just left you to die then finished off the bugs and taken your body up there? Seems a bit convoluted for this to be an assassination attempt." He talked as he walked, keeping his rifle trained in front of him as he tried not to point it at the back of the Ork, whose hulking form was blocking a decent chunk of his line of fire.
"And besides if we were why did we let you keep your weapons?" Rico chimed in as he flapped his wings to propel himself to catch up with everyone else. He had lagged behind the group earlier while he was looking at his wound close and partially heal. He still wasn't exactly sure what these so called soul incubator did to him for all he knew it turned him into an actual daemon and if he died he would be banished to the warp or just like a normal creature find nothing. Both possibilities terrified him to some extent but for now they were babysitting an eldar that was just as arrogant as he would have expected.
@Uriel1339 "If we wanted you'z dead panzee. You wuld be." Gerald said looking back toward the pointy ear'd git and looking him in the face, "konsidah yurself luk'ee we dontz." The Eldar started going on about and asking questions he didn't need to ask. Though all Gerald was able to hear was: "blah blah I'z a git blah blah krump me." The unenthused Ork rolled his red eyes and glanced back at the pointy ear'd git. "It'z kuz we dontz kare who you iz. Surprize surprize panzee, but da galax'ee doznt revolve 'round you'z. So yur name, or yur stoopid face reel'lee doznt matter at all ta uz. As far as you'z koncerned, we aintz evin ere r'oight now'z." Gerald was being unnecessarily hostile to their 'VIP' he wasn't exactly sure where this feeling was coming from. He was probably getting anxious about not being in a fight right now, his Ork side was practically screaming at him to punch the Eldar in the face whenever he heard the Phoenix lord speak. @BuriasDempsey Gerald pulled out a bit of left over mantis carcass he pocketed to save for a snack later. And snapped a piece of it off. The boundless bundle of energy that was the gaunt had to be fueled by something after all. He held the piece over Jack's head. "You still hung'ree dere gribblie? Gotz sum mor bug bitz fer ya if you'." Though he wasn't going to just give Jack the piece of mantis so easily. No Jack was going to have to jump for it if he wanted it. If anything it'd keep him mildly entertained until they got out of here. @Keidivh "Dis time, wiff da nex fight, you won't 'ave a 'ead start on yur kill count." he chuckled, trying to amuse himself with the situation they had going for him. If he was thinking fully as himself, he might have been horrified at the prospect of actually enjoying himself throughout all of this. But whatever the soul incubator thing did to him, it started to make him think differently on about almost everything. Such a though would have been frightening if it wasn't for his mind convincing him that he was enjoying himself. That and how he should punch the panzee in the face whenever the git opened his mouth. The later of which he still hasn't allowed himself to go through with. "And dis time, we'z gunnah keep track, so we'z kan no fer certain who did bettah."
He looked up at the meat Gerald was offering, holding it up in the air as he did so, and crouched himself against the floor like a spring being pushed against the ground. Then the tyranid spring launched up and wrapped his secondary limbs around the green forearm without digging the talons in and devoured the piece greedily before letting go and dropping back down onto the floor. When the group started to move, Jack tried to take as much of the corpses as he could, shiskabobing them on his scything talons so he could eat on the go with them. With most of them talking to their new eldar 'friend', he could only shrug at the Phoenix Lord's question. He understood the weirdness of the whole situation from his point of view, even though he was thinking more how an eldar might taste than anything else. "Maybewe'rejustexploringthegalaxyandhavingfun, sawyouhavingtroubleandhelped, butnoletsquestionoursaviours, asifanyonewouldactuallypaythisgrouptofindaphoenixlord." he said, just mostly saying out loud between bites of his mantis kabobs. "OhlookatmeI'manEldarPhoenixLordlookhowimporatantIamtohavearagtaggroupofassholestocometakeabountyonmeforsomereason." Jack said, parodying the eldar's accent with his high pitched gaunt voice while waving his arms in a silly fashion. He wasn't sure if his antics would show how paranoid the Eldar was being, but he doubt it and really just wanted to get a few licks in.
