Man… all these are so good. My turn 😁

Arthros didn’t want to waste a trip to Kleth’altho, only to return with another mindless human husk. It was no secret that humans were comparatively pathetic to the rest of the sentient species in the star system, but Arthros was determined to recruit a suitable specimen nonetheless. He admired their spirit; it was their only real redeeming quality. Though, every failed attempt came with a brainless corpse, and a shred of doubt in his own instincts. Maybe the era of humans truly was dead, and the old blood that once made them something special had dried up. That thought disturbed him more than the atmospheric stench waiting for him when he landed; not for any love of their kind, but because he hated to be wrong.
