What started as a simple little short quickly mutated into something much bigger and messier. Much like the characters in this story.<br /><br />This story sees the return of Kwillit, my own little addition to the sci-fi universe that <a target="_self" href="https://jack07.deviantart.com/" ><img class="avatar" src="https://a.deviantart.net/avatars/j/a/jack07.png?9" alt=":iconjack07:" title="jack07" /></a> cooked up. This is mostly a character piece, dealing with Kwillit's history, his life and info about his race. But it was built on an idea for a TF, so if you're willing to plumb the depths, that's definitely in there.<br /><br />This story was rather directly inspired by similar works by <a target="_self" href="https://barrel-o-tf.deviantart.com/" ><img class="avatar" src="https://a.deviantart.net/avatars/b/a/barrel-o-tf.jpg?1" alt=":iconbarrel-o-tf:" title="Barrel-o-TF" /></a> complete with a title provided by a song the pertains to Kwillit's character, namely&nbsp;<a class="external" href="https://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MwzMuuGOsVI">www.youtube.com/watch?v=MwzMuu&hellip;</a> I've also tied the story to a character of his. Hope he doesn't mind. Reading&nbsp;<a href="https://barrel-o-tf.deviantart.com/art/Up-to-Specs-190307513">barrel-o-tf.deviantart.com/art&hellip;</a> will help if you want to know what's up with those grenades.<br /><br />Enjoy.<br /><br />Edit: Thanks to a recent short by <a target="_self" href="https://barrel-o-tf.deviantart.com/" ><img class="avatar" src="https://a.deviantart.net/avatars/b/a/barrel-o-tf.jpg?1" alt=":iconbarrel-o-tf:" title="Barrel-o-TF" /></a> in which he fleshed out the differences in gender of his own race, the proteans, I've had to swap a few gender pronouns to avoid explaining why a few of these characters are running around without terran limbs. The fun of sci-fi.&nbsp;
