Sebastian :
I think this is a manhood
ritual of some kind. The humanoid ones, they've been sent here to prove that
they are worthy to become adults.
Alexa :
You're saying they're what -- teenagers ?
Sebastian :
Who knows how long these
creatures live. Perhaps for thousands of years. However old they are, this is
their rite of passage. That's why they didn't
carry those guns with them to begin with. They had to earn them. Like a knight
earning his spurs. The
hieroglyphics are a little difficult to make out but the
story's all here.
Thousands of years ago
these hunters found a backwater planet.
They taught humans how to
build and were worshiped as Gods... Every hundred years the
Gods would return ... And when they did, they would expect a sacrifice .... Humans were used to breed
the ultimate prey.
The Hunters would battle
these Great Serpents ... To prove themselves
worthy to carry the mark. But if the Hunters lost
... They made sure that nothing survived. Total genocide. An entire civilization
wiped out overnight.
Alexa : So the humanoids, the
hunters, they brought those creatures here to hunt ?
Sebastian : And they use us like
cattle. We're hosts for them to breed in.
Alexa : So we didn't discover them.
Sebastian : No. The heat bloom was
designed to lure us down here. This whole thing was a trap. Without us there
could be no hunt.
