During the fighting, the Queen Xeno had gotten irritated that her domain was being destroyed somewhat. She wanted it as big as possible, so she sent out a couple Xeno Runners (like the one from Alien 3), who were quadrupedal, fast as cheetahs, and could leap at prey with the force of a sledgehammer. They would also explode into pieces of sharp exoskeleton when superheated, and could release spores which could help the Queen, her Royal Guard, and other Runners track anything infected with them. They snuck out into the surface world and looked around, seeing the huge foot of Bane, who (memories from Xenos are passed down on a genetic level) they recognized as the one who killed the previous Queen. One bolted into the open and slashed Bane across the foot with its spore-infecting tail spines. Bane was so large he barely felt a thing, and the wounds closed in an instant, but it was more than enough time for the spores to get in. They wouldn't do much to Bane, but he would be at a distinct disadvantage when he had to fight the Queen's second in command, the Tyrant Xeno...
