[Naked Crook]

Delta: I have not gone by that name for some time now... Urrsa: A pity...I liked that name... Delta: You did... There was silence between the two. Urrsa turned away and walked into the dwelling. Delta followed. Delta: How have you been? Urrsa: Well enough... Urrsa turned back to look at Delta. Urrsa: You look bigger... Delta: It is the armor... Urrsa looked at him and grunted. Urrsa: For once...I think you are right... Urrsa paused. Urrsa: What did those humans do to you? Delta: A better question is what my own kind did to me... Urrsa: I know what happened on Earth...I know what Fornicus did... Delta: The Human's saved my life... Delta paused. Delta: Try to ignore the eyes... Urrsa: That is pretty tough...they...are different... Delta: They are...machines... Urrsa: Clearly they are. Why? Delta: I was in pretty rough shape when I was found. Fornicus decided that it was best to send every Brute in the sound of his voice to deal with me when he found out I was a heretic... Urrsa: Bah...heretic. You have always been a heretic Barrabus... Delta: That is not my name. Urrsa: YES! Yes it is... Delta was speechless. He had never seen Urrsa this mad. Urrsa: Don't tell me what your name is and isn't! Delta: Why does it matter? Urrsa: Because...you have been living with a name that doesn't belong to you! To think my only son had his identity taken from him... Delta: It was not taken from me. Urrsa: Is that so? So...why do you use that human name? Delta: It was an alias. When I defected...my name was withheld...I was known to the humans...I was considered dangerous. Had some of the human's known who I was...they would not of trusted me... Urrsa: And you accepted that? Delta: Would you not? Urrsa grunted. Urrsa: Whatever the reason was...it no longer applies! There is no further reason to hide you name! Delta: I have grown accustom to this name. Urrsa: Perhaps...but it is not your name...and it never will be! I don't like your current name... Delta grunted. Urrsa: You have nothing to hide here. You are the Chieftain of the Brutes...you are the leader that put us on the home world of the Elites...you have made us strong again...you should be seen as a child of this world...not some product of a human lab! Delta grunted. Urrsa: You had a great name! Use it! Delta grunted again. He sighed. Urrsa: You have so many names...so many titles...so many identities... Delta looked confused. Urrsa: I know my my own son when I see him...and when I first saw the Heretic Stalker Serpent...I knew it was you! Don't be surprised! Like I said...you have been a heretic your entire life. Delta laughed. Barrabus: I see your point. Very well... if it makes you feel better...I will shed that alias like dead fur.
