Ericsson sighed as he thought of his kind. "Humans are a virus, that breeds beyond their means and only when all the natural resources are depleted, will it die off. Humans have lived outside of nature to long. Because if we lived in nature, there is an order and a balance. Humans see themselves outside that order. Because we feel can control it. If it's rare, we love it. Look at the bald eagle for instance. Humans were the cause of it's almost extinction. But because human saved it. It's special. But yet we run over hundreds, of thousands of animals with our cars every year. Because they are plentiful and got in their way. Our priorities are way off. But enough of my soapbox. I don't really know where that all came from. I'll just say, I have no pride in my culture. Markus taught me that. You are everything that is good in my life, Rosie." He finished quietly.

I know we burned through quite a lot." He then looked over at Ra and Anubis and continued, "Then we must factor in, Markus has had nothing but time to stack his deck. If this is his frontal attack, what other nasties are there waiting for us? Apparently, he's been breeding custom mutts." He shook his head and asked, " What are you orders, sir?"

Markus watched the group stone faced. He waited to see what they did. He already had his walkie in hand.

Ashton looked around at the kitchen. Maybe if we made her some more, she'll forgive us." She suggested.
