Anexus screamed as two of the Sharquoi nearby unceremoniously grabbed each of his arms and pulled. The limbs tore free like petals from a flower, his flesh ripping and joints popping free as the Sharquoi casually flung the torn appendages aside. Anexus dropped to his knees in front of Hekabe.
	“Mercy!” he frothed, blood pouring from his destroyed shoulders.
	“There is no more mercy,” Hekabe said as the Sharquoi standing directly behind Anexus picked him up. “If the Sangheili vessels fail me, then there will be human ships that arrive here soon. I will take what is due to me, one way or another.”
	The Sharquoi simply crumpled Anexus in its giant fists, like balling up a piece of trash. Hekabe could feel ribs shatter and poke at his palms.
