As the gunships steadily became an increasing problem the Impures began to display even stranger behaviors. Hoards of the creatures would seemingly choose one of their fellow monstrosities before surging it all at once just like they would a Terran. Tearing it apart and ripping off its spiked limbs as the creature's last cries echoed through the city.
While any Special Security Personnel that witnessed this strange behavior might of momentarily wished there was hope the creatures would destroy themselves, this hope would soon be dashed with fear. With deadly precision the monstrosities worked together to hurl the still twitching, spiked limbs of their fallen comrade up sailing through the air towards the gunships that thought themselves so safe. Sometimes resulting in entire volleys storming towards the ships raining death upon the cities below.
This behavior, however, would not last long as a disturbance was clear elsewhere.
Just as those that took cover behind rubble or turned over cars soon learned that trying to stand their ground against the creatures wasn't always the best of ideas. Those Impure that managed to cross the gap in distance were capable of crawling over the fallen vehicles or running up over the sides of rubble to get to those unsuspecting souls hidden behind.

A charred, mutilated set of remains was all that was left inside the flaming wreckage of a drop ship that had been torn apart by their own people. The darkness coiled to life once again as it stared down at what was once meant to be a messenger of peace. With the body being unworthy of saving the orange aura that had been gifted to this specific individual slowly was drained back by the being.

As the five security officers that had seen the horrors of the infection since the very beginning made their unscheduled escape off the planet something more than peculiar would of happened. The feeling of a presence that seemed to take the air out of their lungs. It might of been nothing if not for the fact that one of the lowly ranked officers began to freak out. He could see the shadowy figure standing in the middle of the drop ship staring directly into his very being.
As hundreds of voices filled the Terran's head his eyes began to bleed. Then in a matter of seconds his eyes turned entirely black as all struggling seemed to stop.
"Captain Kan," the Officer's voice clearly was not his. It was something far more ancient. "You and your people have suffered from the very beginning of the ascension. Yet, I sent a messenger of peace to your Commander and he was desolated."
For a moment the Officer's eyes returned to normal as he was clearly scared beyond belief. "W-What's... happen-," his eyes were engulfed in darkness yet again before he could finish his sentence.
"You wish to save your planet from ascending. I wish to find the Awakened One. Bring him to the source or in three days time from when it all began all life in this galaxy will transcend."
An image of a Terran was suddenly at the forefront of each Officer's head.
Then just like that the Officer's eyes returned to normal and the presence was clearly gone. There was seemingly no permanent damage even though the entire experience clearly terrified the poor Terran.

Alferd Shaw continued to watch the countdown as the pulses of energies were growing larger and starting to reach further. The whispers in the back of his head assured him that who he was waiting for would come. It was only a matter of time.
