Karnak has been promoted to the rank of Commander.
As the gaggle of humans in the command center of the Xenonaut base designated "The Field" watched it on the black and white cctv security monitor, it set about ransacking the research laboratory. There was something almost comical about the way it went about it's task. As if it was entirely oblivious to all else, wholly absorbed in it's mayhem. Smash an evacuation chamber here, shoot at a centrifuge there.. But then it paused. It picked up a microscope and appeared to be examining it. And then, just as abruptly, forcefully threw it on the floor and went back to work wrecking the lab.
"Man those guys are dicks." LT. Plawranc said as he watched the video screen. "Reminds me of the time some lab monkeys got loose at Dietrick.", the director of research said. "How'd you get 'em back in their cages?" Plawranc asked. Deadly serious, the professor looked Plawranc in the eye and replied flatly, "monkey gas". "You made knockout gas that only works on monkeys?" Plawranc asked skeptically. "Yep, doesn't work on apes and people.", the professor replied. "You're BSing me professor", laughed LT Plawranc. "If you yanks can make monkey gas then why can't we make a gas for these little bastards that won't kick our tulips as well?" Major Schen said, joining the exchange. "That's no lie." Major Karnak said joining in, "I still can't feel my little fingers." "It is true.", one of the scientists, a russian, said coming to the professor's defense. "At Bioprepryat we had something like this. Nobody wants to wrestle with monkey when he have deadly virus." With that the soldiers conceeded and returned their attention to the security tv. Suppressing a chuckle, the american and russian scientists smirked at each other knowingly.
On the silent, grainy black and white screen they watched as a human figure crept through the doorway of their violated laboratory. Behind the otherworldly pillager crept the human, ever closer until finally the alien startled. Instantly there was a brilliant flash on the video screen as the earthman discharged his plasma shotgun. The intruder dropped lifeless where it had stood. "That was the last one." a voice came over the base intercom, breaking the silence.
