A drop of the liqiud formed on the tip of the eyedropper, balling up like a black bead. It hung there for a second, collecting itself, growiong larger. Then, as if some invisible force pushed the liquid, it dropped onto its subject. The crystal snake shook in its cage, but did nothing else out of the ordinary. I grimaced, and shook my head in frustration.
This stuff has to do something...
Without warning, the snake let out a strange howl, like the wind trying to break through a semi-opened window. I glanced back just in time to see the snake's final death throw and then watched it fall to the woodchip covered floor of the cage. Its skin began to dissolve, leaving nothing behind, save for a slightly burned skeleton of a crystal snake.
I stared at the bones for a moment, and then immediately washed my hands with great force. Wiping them dry on a towel, I walked back into the living quarters, my mind racing.
What the hell would the Ruling Bothan Clans need a biological weapon? Especially one that was that powerful. It doesn't make any sense.
I paced the room trying to figure out how I was going to tell Kamon and Kenshin about this. Then it hit me...
Maybe we won;t have to do as much as we thought in order to take over the planet. If the populace realizes what its leaders are doing and creating, and we offer to give our assistance...maybe we can win them over...
