(Scar POV)

I awoke with a jolt, instantly recognizing the med bay stasis tube I was in. I look out to see my uncle Elder Marr standing in front of me. I don't how I got here but Uncle will fill me in and I will find out what happened after I was impaled by the Queen's tail. I don't remember much just bits and pieces and what must have been hallucinations caused by my injury. Uncle must have used the control because the decompression cycle has started and the bio gel is starting to drain.

I only have a few more minutes to wait and I will have answers. Lex… Her name floats though my mind. I wonder what happened to her? Did she survive, and surprisingly, I want to know where she is right now.

I don't know why but it agitates me that I don't know anything especially concerning her and her safety.

My thoughts were brought to a halt by the soft hiss of the stasis tube opening.

"Scar, it is good you are healed and awake. There is much I must tell you, but first let me start the process to bring your little ooman out of stasis." Said Uncle Marr

At the words "your little ooman" my attention shot to what uncle was doing, and then I could see the hibernation shield on the 2nd stasis tube release. there she was floating in the stillness of bio gel still in stasis. The weight of concern that was on my chest lifted. I stood in front of her tube and placed my hand on it. She looked like this wild fierce creature, worthy of worship, and my blood wants to claim her as mine.

"Scar, there are things we should discuss while the computer brings her out of stasis. It will have to be done slowly so she is not damaged. This will take several hours. We will check on her once stasis has ended." Stated uncle

"I understand, Uncle" I responded.

(time jump- 4hours later.)

"That was the final stage and she will be awake within the hour." Uncle responded while checking Lex's tube.

I couldn't help but stare at her floating in the now warm and moving bio gel. I was a little mesmerized watching her breathe the bio gel. This mesmerizing creature is my mate. Uncle has explained how the mark can work on other species and even though she is still a soft meat ooman. I remember the strength and courage she displayed in the pyramid. For a ooman I guess she is good looking, but it is remembering her fierceness that makes me want her.

Had I have known the mark would work that way with her, would I still have marked her? And I can't help but think I would. She proved her worthiness in that pyramid. Also, there is the story uncle has told me of her attacking the other Yautja warriors that tried to move me. Uncle has let me see the playback and she was impressive. I think Uncle took a little too much pleasure and humor telling me that.

"Scar! Whelp, have you not heard me speaking to you?" Uncle yelled getting my attention.

"I was distracted, you were saying? I asked.

Uncle trilled a laugh that irritated me as he said "I sure you were distracted. You can see your mate more when she wakes, but you need to assimilate more knowledge modules about her and her species before you can complete the bond. In the meantime, lets finish going over those modules in the front compartment."

Annoyed, I followed uncle to the front compartment.

It took 30 minutes to assimilated all the data and I was trying to decide on the best course to claim her. I wondered how she would react to find out that she was now my mate. Would she be submissive or would she fight it? Would she allow the bond to be completed or would I have to force her? I do not want to force her she is a blooded warrior with a hunt to her credit. What I want is her willingly to bond and be my partner for all hunts. I was pondering this and about to ask uncles' advice, when a muffled thump sounded from the rear compartment.

I look at my uncle as another thump was heard and several more that got progressively louder.

Uncle let out another one of those annoying trill laughs and said, "it sounds as if your mate is going to be quite feisty. How about we go let her out. "

All the while he is walking to the rear compartment he is trilling and laughing and for some reason that damn annoying laugh makes my mandibles twitch.
