"Too many people to move, they'll notice us."580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7DKNFJSm4
"Never shtopped ush before." A pause as the old man spat to the side. "What about fighting then, too little of ush?"580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfImjEQ7YC
Gob shook his head, 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBZQhJXKrS
tired. David could understand that, and he was annoyed he could 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0UlusZmTP
empathize with Gob. As per Gob's decision every time it was David's turn580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgY9EyuexJl
to go patrolling Gob accompanied him. At first David found this 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RFHo8HpQN
insulting, he was the paragon of trust after all, but after a few of 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hdGOcaY1z
such patrols he just found it annoying. Ever patrol was usually 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAsrtbCWAr
conducted with 3 or 4 people, usually with different people. There were a580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrdEBl7j8U
few constants in those groups though, the first was that David and Gob 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6P6EBOOai
were in them and the second was that someone always asked when they 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZbAmHd15d
would move.580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfinQYjE0f
Now David has only been 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpATJLaBTvj
in the camp for a month now and managed to glean some information from 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQ2dJLLPVo
the other rebels and just observations. There were three groups of 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eKGKwW8XM
rebels. Peasants, peasant-soldiers and soldiers, as David liked to call 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4eCJ9ue7l
them. Peasants and peasant-soldiers were the people with no, to only 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsMSYZrsTE
basic, military training. Such as Denis and his ilk. The soldiers 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKsBChrSHW
weren't necessary from the military, but they had more experience. 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3A9ExXWgPc
Experience wasn't the only difference, civilians and civilian soldiers 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDj1JiFsIFX
loved and trusted both Gob and Francesca. Soldiers only trusted Gob. 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZ3Ni4vXhm
Which worked out nicely for David as he could use this discord and 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnEE0HLTah
divided loyalties.580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Q3XBKNQR0
Another important thing 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhezAgB38Dh
he managed to find out was that the rebels had stayed on the same isle 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKD31Gilewe
for three months. Many of the rebels were unhappy with the prolonged 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vSxzaPjxp
stay, especially the soldiers. This resulted in that question and Gob 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrAQdtNtQ6
giving the same answer to anyone who asked. It was really riveting stuff580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEuhCWw7Ej
for David, especially after hearing it for the twentieth third time. 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLlWBUS6QV
Ol' Stevie asked it around two or three times over the past few days to 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡID40XLWUCj
their destination.580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXHL7QoHOw
Today they were out 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMp9ozhHSfn
looking at the new imperial camp, turning into more of a makeshift fort,580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilNWzv8fNT
being built around the wreckage of the 'Flying Fish'. It was a crude 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBgUTPk3vn
construction, something that could be easily taken apart. They were 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtXqtvcZz7
joined by Rock and another rebel, called old toothless Stevie, on 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcThbaZR9v
account of him being old and having lost most of his teeth. 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyicIvH0SO
"Yes, now shut up and 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQS282paDE
remember everything you can about the imperials." Stevie shrugged at 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sigTPF6Ft
that and continued looking through his binocular. David kept further 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWb64s7omX
away from the pair, watching their backs with Rock, the youth did not 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhllJt4Ycne
become any more talkative during Davids stay in the caves.580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUoSlCqkFT
They were at their 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapcFytufVm
lookout spot for a few hours at this point and David was glad he didn't 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7o2oFlVqPS
feel any magical tugs coming from that direction, after discussing it 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmrmOMBthh
with Francesca it turned out that what David felt was a magical tug, 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSrPylL3i6
looked like the imperial soldier wasn't anywhere near it.580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwLgemhfTR
"Alright, that's enough.580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgygPnSrPTg
Let's head back." Gob proclaimed to the group and David sighted in 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshF6oqiAtO
relief. Thankfully David was given new shoes, to help him walk, as well 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5DPRjSPMl
as new clothes and even an eyepatch. The walk itself was silent and 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0PT1cGDRI
brutal. Gob set a murderous pace and he didn't look back to check on any580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmrp8aHMKn
of them except for Rock, who bore it with his usual silence.580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFfqAsDQ7t
David walked in silence 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSKVVfDSy4
as well. More to preserve his breathe, than anything else, as he felt 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDX0lvdskN
that he would fall to the ground if he even tried speaking. Toothless 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLALr3XsZbX
Stevie may have been old and not have teeth, but he had more stamina 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5H3HygpBwD
than David, farm work really built you up for long hours of activity.580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdFboordk5
A walk that would've 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFtwDwvMQn
taken most of the day was managed in about half a day. David was so glad580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiIuC43tjW
to see the damp cave that he was ready to kiss the rocks when he came 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcjCmjt6Ft
inside. The camp itself did not change much over the past month and 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfn43Ws3O0f
David was still the new guy. Though he made good strides in integrating 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7qGQXM9hz
himself as most of rebels waved to him in greeting.580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKghR9ZbE5u
"I'll go report to 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSN4vpCXgFs
Francesca. You can go relax." Gob passed David without a glance at him. 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZgz1Dmr3R
The fact that Gob didn't glare or spit at David's direction must've 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpq0k1R6b81
meant that he was finally warming up to him! At least it was more than 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHsh5ZPYbx
David got over the past month, in fact he was ready to give up on ever 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaXIgCfuMs
winning Gob over.580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WsiVziGpq
Francesca on the other 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQmojROfP3
hand warmed up to him quite fast. As Denis summarized and David 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0X5cM4W3wD
confirmed she was a noble, a well read and knowledgeable noble but 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4gHMmqc6P
someone who hasn't left her estate a lot and has never traveled outside 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCYTFQhzoU
the empire. While David was the well-traveled dashing smuggler. He 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWUUpOhHcm
managed to enthrall her with made up stories and adventures. To be fair 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMRn3aZC53
to Francesca she wasn't the only one falling under David's charm. As 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1hdIAe1qp
most of the rebels found it hard to resist the dashing rogue act.580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0kWnorr3X
David just wished he 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWypVoSsaq
could win them over without going on patrols and risking his life. Oh 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtORLPbIe9
well no one said being a parasite was easy.580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoouH0nKcde
Further down the camps 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmRB1bpYqC
he could see Twitch, the nervous brother of Denis. Over the past month 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0Vf7GeylR
he integrated himself with the siblings, becoming a part of their gang. 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNOXUs4CoB
As the siblings were liked by the rebels in general this made them trust580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZH0lMWHjpW
David all the more. David decided to join Twitch so he snuck up behind 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4VIMHMIqJ
him. 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTB1KqQXie
"What'cha doing?"580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXr7A1FO2X
Twitch practically jumped out of his own skin. "Agh! Oh D-david. Don't s-scare me l-l-like that."580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfp23XTN6lS
"Sorry, twitch." David said patting the boys shoulder. "Didn't mean to, you know I hate doing it." He loved it580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwVCjlRKGo
Twitch nodded and stood beside David." 'S alright. I-I-I'm just easily sca-ar-ared."580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEen1IaLf1
David nodded. The boy 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkL1jYrSsPw
was lucky to have any friends at all." Nothing wrong with being scared."580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqZtTNua0C
He said with a comforting smile. "We all have our own strengths, like 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAL4MJMaJ9
you..." David paused for a bit racking his mind for something to say. "A580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdYhYvXFPb
poet! A man of dreams! How're your poems going anyway? I still want to 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LIyNfRNv4
read them someday."580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCixQ2Ut3T
Twitch muttered 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANascXD9Qs
something under his breathe. David motioned with his hand for him to 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqwQWV6Lse
speak up. "...n-not poems. But son-so-songs."580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55SDULrJgG
David stopped himself from shrugging and smiled. "Songs, even better then! Why not create a song for the rebellion?"580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnosw8NjDy1
Twitch started shaking 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWEdiyFnZn
his head but before the words: 'No' formed on his mouth a voice 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFhjKsfXDX
interrupted them. "A hymn truly sounds marvelous!" Francesca made Twitch580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JcsLbj4Fb
jump back even more than David did580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxXMsaRhTr
"I-I-I" He continued in that vain for a while.580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7qEpELMZ0
"Speak up soldier!" Gobs580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyvoGp07XU
voice resounded around the cave, making everyone glance at Twitch, 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ma2lEmOpJ
which should've made his stuttering worse. But his fear of Gob took over580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUoLm385zW
any instinct he had.580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XvRIChnkZ
"I'mnotgoodenough!" He 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHevc5Ct6tU
said as fast possible. David was astounded it was probably the first 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkphyIdubl
time the boy didn't stutter. Not that he could understand what he said 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FpP4F1j7E
now.580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUobv14WcS
"Nonsense." Francesca 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZqhe20KXf
put her hand on Twitch's shoulder. She didn't seem to have any trouble 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBPt6qZ4Ww
understanding him. "Write me a song when you can, and we will sing it, 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTggxY0f8z
all of us together." She projected her voice to others nearby which 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeq6akzczg
raised a rugged cheer. That just made Twitch hide his face as it went 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODGJJxPmHQ
dark red.580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mjAJn3Tqf
Francesca spared Twitch 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MmuMoyJl6
one last warm smile and turned to the rest of the rebels standing 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3MYL4E6Q7
around. "It's time for your daily studies! Spread the message!" Both 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMv9BMkk84R
children and adults listened to Francesca, without a hint of 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANhzif9fCS
disobedience, and started moving in one line to the study cavern, as it 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JtkktiUOY
was popularly called.580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGGtOZwMjJ
The rebels not only 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZjMX520Rv
respected Francesca for her leadership and attitude towards the 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBbu1sYbGE
peasantry, but also her attempts to educate them. Most of the rebels 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GalpiVQ04
didn't know how to read or basic math while Francesca was an educated 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjqYnsVWAC
noble, thus she decided to teach everyone in the rebellion the basics. 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRdl0PK457
No one was barred from the lessons and both young and old were invited 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qjnjBIOZK
to them. 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnVXhHuXnT
David attended one of 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXj3XtvjjP
those lessons but found himself too bored to continue. They were talking580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjw8okhh1P3
about letter and numbers and some researcher named Vesputti or 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBw0JJMXoj
something similar. Thus, he skipped over on those lessons, he wasn't the580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dtQrnwXO7
only one as most of the adults had decided that they were too old to 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaw5fpJAfi
learn anything new.580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CyqU2uxmB
Before leading her group580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnqWbdew2F
to the secluded cavern, Francesca approached David. "I'd like if you'd 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0CuBCKicR
dine with me tonight, if it's to your liking?"580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgt7Qri6od
"Of course, I'll see you580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5RoSivYkw
later." Francesca did that sometimes, inviting David over. Chatting 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XSLN5JuPj
about trivialities, like whether he had any more vision about The Five. 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmJ4g2R663
Thankfully Jester didn't deign to appear yet so David managed to sleep 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbapOki4Naj
peacefully, well not accounting the strange dreams about some boy crying580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjtbAbFEVK
and calling for his mummy. Those dreams made David wake up in a foul 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOwoiE39tW
mood, he wasn't certain why but thought it could be because he didn't 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhMt355uGA
remember his parents or family.580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXotAO2Dx2
Francesca, unaware of 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMTvlTS1C7
David's thoughts or dreams, nodded with a smile and led her group from 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGt1ejsUSUq
the main cavern. Twitch following her and joining his sibling to whom 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhKjFTG8O2
David waved. Turning around he came face to face with Nook.580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejxCbpf6Mh
"I'm off duty now, got some guys looking for a game. You're in?"580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWkW0HYjHa
Nook was an interesting 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2t8qPSrKS
case, while he was definitely Gob's man he didn't seem to be as 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1RK1xwZBg
disciplined as the other soldiers. He was also one of the few soldiers 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqayXvz6cf
who was friendly with David instead of following Gob's lead and hating 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74R7EwH7Q1
his guts. So they decided to have a card game here and there while 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqssVXiJ7n
inviting other people, a card game in which David lost more often than 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNIBeYItma
not. While David hated losing in cards it was a good method of making 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1ycu9cvxp
friends and getting to know people. As well as a guarantee to keep 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErjR0UtUEW
getting invited as long as you lost smart and graciously accepted it.580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHVNUzLrUo
"Aye, why not Nook. Maybe I'll clean house this time."580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1XLOYdRdZ
Nook grinned a 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2qyxU7Vig
predator's smile and led David towards a secluded table. While gambling 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBPvltdvvd
wasn't banned or anything, as long as you were off duty, it was frowned 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIswdqlI56
upon by Gob. That and most rebels having limited resources. Having only 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzeCkcgMXB
their clothes and weapons stolen from the empire or brought on their 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVg80ayuhs
backs.580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTydd8CNZX
Thus any card games were580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5m724V0yu4
just that, games to pass the time. At least until David proposed to bet580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvr4iloNi0g
their rations. Everyone received the basic rations few times per day 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LVlF7VwBb
and it was up to them how much of that they ate. It was barely enough to580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XQqIv2vgx
feed a healthy adult. As they have been on this isle for a while it was580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLbk7nCa5s
harder to find fresh animals to hunt every day. A lot of the rebels 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Slelr23B6
were opposed to that idea as they'd loose on the last bits of food they 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ102hmQJxkw
did have.580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyV5L2Nq2z
Some did think it was a 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNT1Amm5jo6
brilliant idea and David was sitting down with a few of them right now. 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisKL5B4mgr
Nook, he was confident in his card abilities. Apparently before joining 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zgcDVUtuQ
the rebellion he was a militiaman in his village and gambled a lot. As 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNApaUG0QWc
far as David could see he was more lucky than actually good. Old 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7FkoNO2Om
toothless Stevie, he joked that if he did lose his rations that it would580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTKibkcsOJ
save his last teeth. He also wasn't afraid to bet most of his rations 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oTt0H2wRB
scaring the other players into folding, a good bluffer. Finally there 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsolhQXZOY
was Tiruk, a huge man who definitely needed more rations just to 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiUT1FbMQr
survive. It surprised David anyone could keep that weight with tight the580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrp99o86M4x
food has been.580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIR1CvmJk0
They were the four main 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl16DtmDSAs
players who usually joined the gambling games. Sometimes others joined 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZT2kuS2sxI
but they usually stopped after going hungry for a day or two as they 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktNYYNJ39t
lost their rations. These four though didn't give up after losing, 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNq1crjskkr
because they knew that their chances of a feast were just around the 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnfcNKcugr
corner. That fact created a sense of comradeship between the players. 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGx4C5hvt4Q
Even if they were playing against each other they understood the risks 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5Pz4V1917
and accepted them.580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5keLReHGbP
"''Ello boys." David 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66j9PsXzbn
said sitting down at the table with Nook. There were nods all around the580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiAGuP5eT7
table and the cards were dealt. They were playing a card game called 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbNeTIXZ0e
match 'n go. Most of the rebels had not heard of the game or at least 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuhNWKoJwg
knew it under a different name but most of them caught on fast, it was 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15h7jKS4NW
often just played for fun. But the best games came from betting. As the 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBysb7glMd
risks went higher you tried to fool your opponent into thinking that you580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcptJlsJ4w
had the match or a higher card. David loved risk games like that, he 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJIW8np8XS
loved reading the other player emotions and using it against them or at 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UE3sWKKuR
least for his own benefit. 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgwkfKJtBy
Nook was the first to 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzYz87S4jn
play. "I'm betting half of my rations on this. Gots a good deck, that I 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbz1RLxczt
do." David could see the plastered smile on his face. At this point 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClU8uYFdbc
David could tell fake between real in a heartbeat. Nook was bluffing.580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWA9AeqwvEY
"Alright, I'll call that." David answered.580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5DXQdIkub
Tiruk, in answer, just 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPTrwp9aqi
shook his head and folded. He wasn't risking it. Stevenson with his 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfmaEbWN0I
gaped smile called it as well and cackled a bit.580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3az7Hf0eF
Next card revealed. A 3 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fdut4U85l
for Davids two threes. He'd have to fold that game, too high chance of 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXruOOQgCrf
winning. So it went on and on, rations were won and lost. David won a 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOq1Aha030
few games but then he bet everything and lost on purpose, made Stevie a 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxHa0TMryU
very happy, old, man.580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NNkJKFZXN
Since David didn't have 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAPCDBtx2B
anything to bet with anymore he made his excuses and left the table. He 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnRduYKWhD
took a look around for Gob and didn't see him anywhere so decided it 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMWJ8NnZx3
would be safe to take a walk.580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrm75aEdMrM
Another thing he took to580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWi0yTxic1p
doing over the past two weeks was exploring, finding any secret spaces 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7M6Nkuv3Uy
where he might hide. The rebels themselves only found one possible 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsNQcZgkuc
emergency exit while David found three. Of course the other two exits 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuwZrYRtZJ
only were wide enough for one person to pass through at a time. So it 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49tdoUafGc
could be that they just didn't consider them as such.580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbSe9QJR3R
He also found various 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18MvR9ScH0
hiding spots, not only for him but for items he stole. Weapons, 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWImtMuF0A
ammunition, food and the like. If only a small amount disappeared at a 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5YbV2a5b9
time no one really noticed and attributed it to absentmindedness. Though580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNIrbPvdD3
David believed Gob was getting suspicious so he would need to start 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvGRjhJUkC
being more careful.580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpK57JakIDL
The caves themselves 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6EUusxomS
seemed to go through the whole isle, David didn't believe he explored 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLxWCnUSWQ
even half of it. Gob tried to send a few soldiers every day to explore 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDIxpM8WtN
further into the caves, but many were afraid of the dark, believing 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQAtIqMS4B
various beasts were residing in them. Refusing to go inside without Gob 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfUIC9cuAB
and since Gob was usually busy either creating or being out on patrols 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENGe17S72n
himself that limited their exploring time.580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZhgDeCjtc
That let David offer his580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSC1aaRgsh
services as an explorer. He would explore the further caves and would 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ033KSnFa7L
report on any worrying circumstances. Gob was reluctant to let him go 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4A1SlPXwF
but was convinced by Francesca that it would be a grand idea as it would580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokMsqX1YMC
free more people for patrols and other duties.580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqXfQoCpK6
This time though he had a580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOppdV0bYvf
destination in mind. A bit further into one of the pathways, about an 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34jQHw8ld8
hour from the main cavern, there was a small pathway where a thin person580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeK2BhFRFn
could barely fit. Following that pathway, if you could survive the 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrsaYghgzw
feeling of getting crushed by the walls, was a pool. David was surprised580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjg4eh8EH9
when he found and astonished when he discovered the water was hot. 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxtQXhXAXZ
That's where he was 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqA0SWX72fA
going now; he needed a clear head for Francesca's meeting. No matter how580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTZTkmMdAA
she acted she was a noble, they always sought the best deals for 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVY82aTjxzN
themselves, always trying to ledge a situation in their favour. David 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVH7iQUAQM
would need to be on his toes. Or maybe he just wanted to actually relax 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJxsmLLmC1
without anyone screaming or crying, he didn't decide which one sounded 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlEdrbU733
better in his mind.580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrS7aMHMDoD
Thus grabbing a torch as580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89VyLY0MRp
many of the pathways further down weren't lit, he began his, 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXk0s2rZV66
uneventful, journey. Luckily he reached his destination in a timely 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbE3siggJoc
manner, though he hated going through that cramped space. He gave a 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eaWWOzOst
satisfied sigh as he sat down in the pool, his muscles losing the 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuwxkF1xjd
tension he gathered over the past few weeks, the water reached up to his580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Q1MM5r6iK
chest and he dunked his head under the water finally enjoying a proper 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9SNGCGjjg
clean. He was careful to keep track of time but other than that he let 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HjkwhLbyU
his mind wander and just blanked out. 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBmBWJcmRb
Before he even noticed, 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOixDSI2lkP
to David's disappointment, it was time to leave. He was also saddened by580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyx2xEQzWi
the fact that the water ended up a bit darker after his bath, a way to 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonvHocHPYL
hit a guys confidence. With a sad sigh he put on his dirty and worn out 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDtOGQYX7u
clothes and went back to the main cavern to the sound of activity and 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqSVewSyuo
the smell of unwashed masses.580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1eqkta49s
It did seem that David 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRi66yAlJie
came back just in time as people were gathered near the cooking pots to 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsC5GY6pmv
gather their rations. David did the same and then found Stevie, sitting 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpry0p14nw
with some other older rebels, and gave him his rations. Stevie nodded 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurLm0YhSHT
and had a sparkle in his eye. "Maybe nexsht time you can save me 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0ctMZlCGT
teethsh." And he cackled at his joke. David managed a weak laugh that 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudSgluIj1E
seemed to satisfy Stevie.580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKie0vj9Sj
"Don't keep Francesca 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJQlfjGTm5
waiting." Came a gruff voice from behind. David tried to hide his 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxk8EMkMgh
annoyance at the fact that Gob managed to sneak up on him and scare him.580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1YK7eV6rQ
Some people just had no sense of proper manners.580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMV3tAQEtTu
"Oh I wouldn't dare." 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZT9RL5H5s
He gave a mock bow which seemed to infuriate Gob more. "I was just out 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HLW2R85kZ
exploring, nothing to report so far, sir Gob." Gob just grunted and 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uOvqD6bN8
walked away. 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvFZjShYHE
David smiled and waved 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCAuxnQDmj
after him, the guy really needed to unwind. With nothing else to do but 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTIRuxLHiR
shrug at that thought David went towards Francesca's room. Even if 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQx5CP4Pbuz
Francesca did pretend to be all for equality and the like she still had 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRF5HKePYbk
her personal quarters, such as they were, as well as an actual bed, 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoXiKR848I
table, chairs. They were shoddy work at best, crafted quickly by some of580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9h3nmiAsJ
the rebels, but they were more than anything any other rebel had. David580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMU7q6LmIsW
was impressed by how she had more and yet most still perceived her as 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5aAV8P45K
the paragon of virtue.580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHoyo84p9i
Her room, as per usual, 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPpGt0ONss
was guarded. But the guard waved him on with a smile. David saw it as a 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1f9RYHdNzT
pointless precaution anyway, but what could you do. Francesca herself 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ802ykXRmpl
was already seated, with a torch in the middle of the table, a pale 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GaIf6tbIV
imitation of a candle. One thing the rebels had a lot of were torches, 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6qzdfTqi0
to light up all caverns and pathways. 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorZv3ZLD0v
"Oh, David! Please sit" she gestured towards the second chair.580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrI6PJHImT
David sat down with a 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCiW0ozVWt
nod and smile. They weren't eating anything extravagant, just what the 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbH4qBovhi
rest were. Dried meat, nuts, sometimes if they were lucky they could 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYTNXBavBM
even get rabbit or vegetable soup, but that more of a luxury nowadays. 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwgUwbGYis
This time it was some dried meat of unknown origin and some water found 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwfpcG6a6W
in a stream. Delicious.580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPB7xj7pGp
"So pleasantries first or business first?"580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ072f750OaU
"I found that going straight to business can ruin a healthy appetite."580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEEVCe2k9D
Francesca nodded and 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6M7LfTeXcH
began to cut her meat with her wooden utensils. While David had similar 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeoNh8MiDB
equipment he didn't really find much use of them and found it better to 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDF9flJzdnh
eat with his own hands. Made it faster and when you're under cannon fire580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkZPwzAdnf
fast eating was paramount.580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzs3JbCbIyk
As expected David 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6CUMBzZtg
finished his portion first and ended up waiting for Francesca to finish 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QpJ62VjtC
hers, which took another 5 or 10 minutes. The girl was certainly a 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9FwpZkQHY
deliberate eater.580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iwOQCVFzd
"So on to business." She580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKdYM8UERe
paused making sure David was ready, once he nodded she continued. "Tell580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyYqQn0yfg
me, do you know who actually hired your services?"580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjUMjiyIIp
"No idea, captain was usually tight lipped about our clients. I just always assumed it was one of you guys."580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXRZhw7Awx
"In a way. It's someone 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcLtnEQ1WU
who's...interested in our cause. One of Gob's friends. He is able to get580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMdzvmVKXu
in and out of the isles without arousing too much suspicion."580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfWJ6FlNzr
"Can't imagine you can tell me who it is?"580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0pvTt6ZZ3
"It's not for me to tell sadly, Gob was adamant that it's best kept as secret." Francesca smiled apologetically "apologies"580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdIWEQDRY1
David waved his hand in a playful manner. "No worries, I'm surprised you're telling me any of this in the first place."580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6wnSTS8Qm
"Well, there is a 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hzZrk1bRl
reason. Since the weapons we got previously are in the Empire's hands 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHR97mTjorz
and we can't fight them for it." Putting it lightly the rebels never 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLAjkcCUQc
really fought the empire in a straight on fight. Mostly raids and 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8XjLf2lle
recruiting villagers with their possessions. Easy pickings. "Gob got in 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcr8lP1ujbj
touch with his friend again and luckily we managed to set up a meeting 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMkYxXXv3d
in a few days the edge of a different isle.580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJ2qwheztm
"We will also be moving 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvCO1PsClw
our base" she continued, sadly. "I can't keep us here with the danger 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3frpQBZ0B1
increasing, so we will move slowly, to an isle we were based in before 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM94a1oawzq
so some will know where to go."580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEu32QSP7lZ
"That's good, why did 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOLLgw71hh
you want to keep us here for this long anyway?" While he was annoyed at 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AYiELGzaJ
hearing that question every time he went on patrols, he couldn't deny he580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCbxbZ5JMS
was interested in the answer.580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdVyzchwPY
"It...It has to do with one of The Five. I can't reveal more in fear that it might interfere with your objective. "580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUFjycFaQl
David nodded, not a full580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnyHaag4Fy
answer he wanted but to push might create a rift between them. Religion580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm99sibkaaJ
was pretty important to Francesca "Don't worry; you don't have to 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcD6jXAw8j
reveal anything you don't want want to." He said in a soothing tone580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXBH7KWmVD
"Thank you." She said 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg86CNw2QLp
gratefully. "Where was I? Oh, yes. We'll have groups with specified 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2dAqpCGXu
leaders going back to that previous isle, they'll lead them and we'll 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMTjr054nm
regroup at a specified point."580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVekZVAf6eu
"How will you get 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwCiqaaR7b
everyone over to the next isle?" Isles were divided by cracks, and while580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKE9zjUf6x
some you could jump over, others were so wide you could fit a full 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQg4JN7UlC
city.580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2gsezwqih
"We have small sky 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsJBet291Z
boats. Some of the groups will use it...Others...Others will need to 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfmKoLVtCy
find their own way" she said in bitter tones. "I don't like that, we're 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZSWKfXPTR
abandoning my people. But Gob said it's too dangerous traveling in a big580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuYv5lazsg
group."580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0Nolv4Ptb
"You're a good leader on your own. You should trust your own instincts." Ah finally! An opportunity to create that rift580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpccDFd3hLU
She gave him a sad smile580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNozWfgvVD3
in response. "Thank you, but I do not a good head for tactics or 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvWcrpadMC
military matters. I've had some education on it, but Gob is much better 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsODanyW8V
at it." David still wasn't sure just what Gob did before the rebellion. 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XPpjWlatd
Francesca stated that the past did not matter and as long as they were 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0s86UjXZX
willing to fight for the rebellions ideals they would be allowed to keep580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoHFskSSCq
their past in the past.580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBfHcd05Xy
"Now then, back to 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiTq8bcy2l
business." She said more cheerily. "Myself and Gob will be meeting that 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IAiSbDM0k
person in a few days. We will have guards but I'd also like for you to 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIF7KY6QOjN
come. You're well-traveled and met many people; your advice would be 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmG6iANGrTi
valuable, especially since we'll only be bartering for them."580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28TjOrZi0U
"You'll have it. I'm 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28rirmkXgs
more than happy to join you." While he wasn't looking forward to 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvv3RQ7lFX
sleeping with all the insects again, it might help his back to not sleep580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqf9ZY2Yiy
on a rock hard surface.580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx270mNBUPc
"Perfect! I'll let Gob know and convince him as well." She laughed sheepishly. "I didn't really confirm this with him you see."580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwi3AlMfk7f
"Oh, the guy loves me. It'll be easy." Francesca smiled at that, she knew just how much Gob hated David.580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdw0bDqwOkk
A lull in the conversation and then a question David was dreading "Did you have any more visions? From the one who chose you?"580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGVghjVkSk
"Sadly no, I'm as 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOyeFnV9TS
clueless as when I was born." This wasn't exactly true. He knew he had 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYCiin0AXm
to find something, and suspected Francesca was after it as well he 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWpQaBhAo7
suspected it was on this isle. Francesca seemed to know more, but she 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3F0eqSIe2M
wasn't willing to reveal it. She might hide it under lofty ideals, but 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5A3HpfRcS
she was concealing the truth from both David and the rebels.580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqkcT9V2Yh
"Do not worry, I am 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo95MvmkcRF
su..." before she could continue their whole world rocked. As explosions580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzRWurWzyJ
rang from outside and rubble started falling all around them., hitting 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnf7YYa1pwR
the table and dislodging the torch, casting ominous shadows on the walls580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9upeK34TbL
"Wha..." before David could finish his thought a very worried Gob barged in. 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMlR7ftNjP
"We're under attack, they found us."
