( You don't know the half of it, Sorrow. But, for the moment, Kate is more concerned with the news of how their opponents work. Not quite like Creatures - both able to shift their consciousness into other forms, but Creatures are still biological entities, with no factory to recreate them.
The idea of locating and destroying those factories flits into her mind quickly - possibly all too obvious a plot not to have been tried before. Kate pauses, braces herself against a pillar behind her, hands splayed on cold stone as silence stretches out.

That wasn't true, so maybe this could be less black and white than it seems. )
Mean, there a chance some of them want summat other than to kill you all?
