Christian stood there and listened to the words spoken by the strange blue alien, about the gift and about how humanity would be changed to suit them and to become part of this strange blue alien species and how it would likely be that a war would come of their attempt to take over and convert humanity. He looked once again to the alien and his mouth opened as he was about to try and form a response to the strange alien girl "No wa....." but his sentence was broken before he could form it fully by the trio of gun shots from the newcomer soldier's gun, impacting the alien's head. He watched as the alien girl dropped down dead on the floor. Not even stopping to look what colour the blue alien bled, he whipped his head around to look at the source of the gunfire. As he looks at the solider as the glove is removed, Christian finds himself shocked at the changes overcoming him, just like they were overcoming the other soldier, Razor. A thought formed in the back of his mind, What if the alien was right...what if they had accepted this aliens gift, but didn't know it yet.
He looked at his hand for a moment, scruntinizing it for any signs of it changing into the colour blue. He was relived to see that he was safe for the moment. As he looked up from examining his hand, he noticed that Hawkins was now confronting Bendack about what he had just done. He raised an eyebrow slightly at the mention of levelling the colony but did not say another word as Bendack began to speak, shaking his head slightly as he listened to the man essientally proposing a suicide mission for himself. This was interrupted then by the other soldier, Paula, who seeming to let her temper get the better of her, proceeded to shout and beat Bendack. Christian took a step backwards and shook his head, not being able to believe that this sort of infighting was going on right here and now. Watching as the man recovered from being beaten and after a few more words he left. Christian then looked to Hawkins "You aren't going to let him go off half cocked like that? What if he gets captured or that strange transformation takes hold and he becomes one of them and gives away information?" he shook his head again, looking over to the dead alien girl again, noticing that the young looking member of the marines, Claudia seemed to be checking out to see if the alien was still alive.
Christian sighed for a moment then pinching the bridge of his nose with his eyes closed, then opening them again and looking at Hawkins "I'll agree to let your sergeant be in charge of the team that goes to the base camp, but only on the proviso that when we're in the tunnels they do as I say. The only reason more of the colonists aren't like your blue friend there "motioning to Razor with one hand "Is because we've been damned careful and we can't let that be comprimised for any reason. Other than that." he shrugged his shoulders, indicating that anything else was fine by him. He checked the cover on his pistol holster, it was open. He must have done that without realizing when Bendack had shot the alien.
