Broken Silence - by Elobo

I am an Omega Borg, one of the greatest warriors of the invading forces. I was designed only for destruction, to strategize and react with deadly precisions. It's been countless years since I was abandoned on this savaged mountaintop. I was content to wait with stoic complacency, but nature now creeps back up the lonesome peak, strangling it with new life. How strange it is that the trilling of these tiny birds might warm a heart that isn't there. I was built to destroy, but where would the honour be in killing this fragile creature? Perhaps I should rethink my ethos of existence. This simple song has done away with so much of the bleak ennui of this mountain. Perhaps... this is real power?

Elobo	Symbiosis	The cactus wolf is a strange hybrid, built to stalk and guard unfettered and unfatigued in the burning sun of the desert. The waxy cacti keep it hydrated and cool, the canine components keep it well fed. Truly a fearsome beast, it stalks its quarry through the desert - tormenting them until they drop. A memento mori of the bare mortality evident in the desert wastes.	6/2/09
Elobo	Earthborne Exemplar	The Carbon Dog burns withe very heat and intensity of the heart of the earth. Some exceptional Carbon Dogs can tap into the power of the ground to become a deadly mass of nigh indestructible diamond. As it joints rub unnaturally together, the piercing screeches are very much akin to a haunting howl. It becomes so in tune with the earth that its ravenous bite transforms its quarry into the very minerals of the planet - to be used and recycled as it sees fit. The sheer power coursing through its prismatic body can blind and instantly defeat foes from sight alone, and a corona of energy can flare up to deflect assault. The Diamond Dog is one of the ultimate sentries, borne of the intense willpower of the Carbon Dog.	4/18/09
Elobo	From Clay, Through Soil, To Dust	The Farm Zombie's form began to fade and crumble, as its essence leaked from every orifice. "Is this my great reward for my unending toil and torment? Is this the end to my unnatural binding to undeath. How... gracious of the master to steal my life, then steal my freedom. And finally to release me into nothingness. Or am I merely set for a more heinous imprisonment still? Forgive me if I'm not thrilled."	4/20/09
Elobo	Oh, My Hero!	The feminine wiles of this robot series is especially effective against a patriarchal society. Kelly is a more streamlined model than Nancy. She is instead a master of subterfuge. She uses her assets and skills to cloud thoughts and veil the truth. But she delights in reaping the carnage she sows. In this, she is perhaps the cruelest of this "sister series."	5/3/09
Elobo	The Way We Live	The first killing bite sends fibrous feelers through the Slitherhen in a capillary assault. Fungus starts to grow from the small creature as the Muttshroom starts to digest it before it even ingests it. It is not cruelty, it is merely natural efficiency. But its meal may soon be forfeit, as a hungry Dog Fish stalks in the distance. The Muttshroom starts to catch, but his, and everyone's satisfaction tonight is always in motion. Always tumbling, never certain.	6/3/09
