Arkain chuckles coldly. "Perhaps. But tormenting those know it all Colonels is a lot of fun. I don't know this less then friendly Colonel of yours but to me they are all the same. Tasty." He chuckles again. He looks quickly when he hears the noise above him. His posture tenses up when he sees what looks like a large hawk land on your shoulder. He glares at the hawk not comfortable with it suddenly being here.<br/><br/>Arkain puts his hands up and waves them. "Hey, nor am I. I have nothing to hide."  He relaxes some when he sees where you are going with your questions. He smiles almost with pride when he hears all the trouble they are causing. He laughs. "My My. This new. Someone who is actually thinks for themselves. Actually questioning orders, not just blindly following them. Impressive. Then you deserve to hear the truth. I have to admit that is one obsessed Colonel you got there. They really threw everything at us even birds." He looks at the hawk licking his lips.<br/><br/>"Why? To put it simply, the Chimera Project hates losing their prized possessions. You see, back some time ago they had created a giant naga called Suryia that was able to consume other creatures and turn them into large nagas. Well she turned out to be more then they could handle and she escaped. She met Jaku and eat him and turned him into a naga. The Chimera Project went after her. They caught Jaku but Suryia was too powerful and got away. Eventually Jaku also managed to escape from the facility and met Tamara. A female tigress. He was able to change Tamara into a naga too. That really intrigued the Chimera Project and that's a very bad thing. They hired me to capture the nagas. I was told by their Commander that they were going to build in this area and they needed to move the nagas to a better safer location. They lied to me. But what could I do against all those soldiers. I was well paid so I decided to leave until Jaku told me about the cruel plans they had for them. I didn’t believe him until I snuck into the Commanders tent and read a letter between Chimera and the Commander explaining how they wanted the nagas transported back to the labs.  I was furious. I couldn't let them do that to the nagas. I set them free. When I freed them, they went crazy. They killed everyone in the camp. I admit I did kill my share. Tamara really took her anger out on the Commander and tore him apart.  Ever since then The Chimera Project put me on their most wanted list for releasing the nagas. I wouldn't doubt that your Colonel guy was related to the Commander the way he came after us. Chimera doesn’t care who gets hurt. Just as long as they get what they want and that’s the nagas. They know how powerful the nagas are. That’s why sent out all the equipment. But they still underestimate them, especially now Jaku has changed."<br/>He looks back to where they lived. "You know we had a pretty nice place back there. We had plenty of food thanks to the soldiers the Chimera Project kept sending out after us. The nagas and I are now like family, especially now they have young ones. Young ones I WILL protect like they are my own." Arkain looks back at you his eyes turn icy cold. "The way I look at it. Anyone who works for them deserves the same fate as the other soldiers. Chimera will stop at nothing to get them back.” He looks at your bird. “Prey they don't find your bird of interest." His sharp ears hear the shots from a tranquilizer gun. He can tell the shots were fired from where Jaku was and   heading for us. He doesn't plan to move until he hears the darts are close to him. "Now you know the facts. Leave NOW while you can. Before this gets out of control."
