Dreamer turned his gaze to Lanner slowly, for effect, trying to conceal the rage as mere anger.  He'd come this far... there was no way he was going to back down now.  Maeve still might recover, and using one of his two HemoClotters would at least stop any external bleeding.  He couldn't use his last Serum for four hours now... he had to make sure she survived that long.<br/><br/>He'd hoped to just take her and go... but it didn't look to be an option anymore.  In fact, he seemed to be -out- of options... Lanner aiming his gun at Maeve was more effective than any threat he could have made to Dreamer himself... and Kitten was at risk now, also.  But he'd planned his story beforehand... he'd just have to use it.<br/><br/>Without looking at them, Dreamer spoke to the two harmless men holding knives near his throat.  "You boys have maybe two minutes to get those things away from me," he warned.  "Time enough for me to explain things to your brainless leader, here.  If they're still near me when I'm through talking, you're through -breathing.-  Think about it."<br/><br/>He re-focused his glare on Lanner. "You really -are- an idiot, aren't you?  You're so -brave- with a gun and all your friends to save you, and you think you're so smart.  But you're just another moron."  He shook his head.  "I fooled you as completely as everyone else.  Do you know what I am?"<br/><br/>He held up his right arm and squeezed it in front of his face.  "I'm a member of the Human Resistance's Shadow Ops.  I've been trained to infiltrate the furries, gain their trust, -use- them to acquire information, and once done with them, to eliminate them."  He sneered.  "Did you think it was a fluke that the cow found me in the hospital that day?  I -knew- she had to be there on -that- day.  I arranged for her to find me and the stupid cow took me in.  I gained her trust by looking so 'mysterious' and 'helpless.'  Saving her niece----" he sneered down at Maeve, not trying t be nice now, "----was another part of the plan."<br/><br/>He tilted his head.  "I'll admit, I was supposed to just get her away from the machine, though.  Getting caught in it wasn't part of the plan.  Neither was dying, though, so I couldn't let it happen."  He shrugged.  "Gave away some things about myself that weren't supposed to be known... but the stupid cow still didn't realize what I really was."<br/><br/>He glared at Lanner again.  "All those nights she spent with me, those nights you're so jealous of?  I gained her trust and she talked.  And talked and talked.  I passed all kinds of information on to Shark."  He smirked down at Meave, staring her right in the eyes.  "And then the stupid cow sent me to Kree herself.  Straight to Shark for the uprising."<br/><br/>"I was nearby, in the shadows as always, when he blew apart the sandcastle they called a fort.  I was with him when they stormed the tower room the Blotars had hidden themselves away in.  I watched him swallow Deral, and when we discovered Larosha had gotten her youngest daughter out the window, I went and fetched the little brat for him."  He glared at Lanner again.  "He decided he wanted the entire herd for lunch the next little while.  That's why he sent -me- to fetch this one, here."  He gestured vaguely at Maeve and her heaving, four-nippled breasts.  "He knew you wouldn't like it... and would try to kill anyone else."<br/><br/>He stared at Lanner for a few seconds and said, "I'm just about done talking, boys..."
