Re: Fools! There will be a King!

[Albert Wesker]

Aside from a few short minutes of activity, most of which involved looking blankly out over the hellish wastes, Colonel had been silent and still. Had it not been for his eyes remaining wide open and full of the look of attentiveness that hadn't left them since his arrival to the Omniverse, it might have seemed like he'd fallen asleep himself. Or died. He didn't exactly exhibit the typical rise and fall of his chest to mark whether he was breathing or not, and the air that blew by effectively masked an auditory indication as to whether or not he was still breathing. The blade of energy that served to replace his right hand might have gone out if he had actually died....maybe....but that was neither here nor there.

Behind his unblinking stare he was focused intently on running over possibilities and plans of action in his mind. He was still mostly unaware of the specifics of what exactly was going on here, beyond that they were hunting down bandits. Having plans in mind for any eventuality he could think up was all he could really do. It wasn't very entertaining to have such thoughts be the only ones to occupy his mind, but...

He wasn't built to be an entertainment Navi.

When they finally ground to a halt at the fortress, Colonel merely craned his neck around the side of the truck, looking toward the imposing structure in the distance. "It's definitely a fortress," he said simply. As always, his tone was flat and devoid of humor. He cast a glance at Drake as he clambered back into the bed of the truck. "I take it we're driving the rest of the way?" The smuggler just shrugged, pulling out what Colonel could only guess to be some kind of Dataverse device. For his part, the soldier navi merely returned his attention to staring out at the scenic hellscape on display around them, keeping his ears alert for anything out of place.

At least until Drake spoke up, showing something on his phone. A quick glance had Colonel's attention solidly caught, and his eyes narrowed ever so slightly. "Doesn't look like Nealaphh is all that popular." If there was a bounty out on him -- not only that, but apparently multiple bounties out on him -- it was only safe to assume one of two things. One, he was extremely unlikable in person and had made some people with weight to throw around angry. Or two, he was as dangerous as he seemed to be intelligent, and had done something to warrant said bounties.

It would be something to look into later. But for now...

"That makes things more difficult..." He simply shook his head, turning his attention back out to nowhere in particular.
