[03] Elite: Docking Is Difficult - Plot & Excerpts
‘In you, and you alone, we truly met our match. But now that my hive-mind legion of Thargoid drones has finally bested you in battle, we cannot let you return to your people, so we are keeping you here in this luxurious zoo enclosure, which has all the mod-cons.’ ‘Damn you to hell, you insect monsters,’ Misha shouted, rattling the bars of his cage. ‘Damn you to hell.’ The Thargoid Queen laughed a terrible Thargoid laugh, which was the same as a human laugh but with more mucus.

She blinked her dozen eyes, which were black and dead, like the eyes of a games journalist or a shark. ‘Whilst here in the zoo, you and the female police human will mate vigorously, so that we may better understand your strange, disgusting mammalian biology,’ said the Queen.
