"I don't get it, why don't we go to a different isle? The Imperialsh will have ush shurrounded in no time."652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhVnSmSgzF

"Too many people to move, they'll notice us."652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesmcsp3lFa
"Never shtopped ush before." A pause as the old man spat to the side. "What about fighting then, too little of ush?"652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rRk212ozH
Gob shook his head, 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvD78FRjZVm
tired. David could understand that, and he was annoyed he could 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kpwelTFdt
empathize with Gob. As per Gob's decision every time it was David's turn652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoX2QDz4rxM
to go patrolling Gob accompanied him. At first David found this 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpSHrE8yfK
insulting, he was the paragon of trust after all, but after a few of 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqpHqJmD82
such patrols he just found it annoying. Ever patrol was usually 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuRuOL91aS
conducted with 3 or 4 people, usually with different people. There were a652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1QyolrK8R
few constants in those groups though, the first was that David and Gob 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6AVKmaics
were in them and the second was that someone always asked when they 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEa9OIuwK23
would move.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdr8TIMAho
Now David has only been 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwFvPhIdmh
in the camp for a month now and managed to glean some information from 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKLVREa9am
the other rebels and just observations. There were three groups of 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7c6cAs00d
rebels. Peasants, peasant-soldiers and soldiers, as David liked to call 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNznsQmAQR
them. Peasants and peasant-soldiers were the people with no, to only 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iiuA50C4l
basic, military training. Such as Denis and his ilk. The soldiers 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLvNa5wxPI
weren't necessary from the military, but they had more experience. 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShLeWqAtvQ
Experience wasn't the only difference, civilians and civilian soldiers 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcvN1pPXyl
loved and trusted both Gob and Francesca. Soldiers only trusted Gob. 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxixgSEGu3
Which worked out nicely for David as he could use this discord and 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dNpIvkuwc
divided loyalties.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaKbp8hLqc
Another important thing 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBIAzUulU9
he managed to find out was that the rebels had stayed on the same isle 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhSlBGq5qJ
for three months. Many of the rebels were unhappy with the prolonged 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegsUjVhptV
stay, especially the soldiers. This resulted in that question and Gob 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14Wxxd0SmI
giving the same answer to anyone who asked. It was really riveting stuff652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSy1qC25OY
for David, especially after hearing it for the twentieth third time. 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrNNXLjNGO
Ol' Stevie asked it around two or three times over the past few days to 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzSrxqQpDP
their destination.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6C3IRO1hI
Today they were out 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuF5haokqMh
looking at the new imperial camp, turning into more of a makeshift fort,652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAKSz2iT97
being built around the wreckage of the 'Flying Fish'. It was a crude 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUE3zTp39N
construction, something that could be easily taken apart. They were 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTBUVDyDK0
joined by Rock and another rebel, called old toothless Stevie, on 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqp3aokp6N
account of him being old and having lost most of his teeth. 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnx4CFrp7MI
"Yes, now shut up and 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhU7zhLnYc
remember everything you can about the imperials." Stevie shrugged at 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiqp1ZqbM8
that and continued looking through his binocular. David kept further 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLUgnMzZlC
away from the pair, watching their backs with Rock, the youth did not 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QToanaesc
become any more talkative during Davids stay in the caves.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvN03mleFN
They were at their 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzeaGswFYu
lookout spot for a few hours at this point and David was glad he didn't 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiB7xzco42
feel any magical tugs coming from that direction, after discussing it 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0C677Z0IE8
with Francesca it turned out that what David felt was a magical tug, 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviSblEWpNO
looked like the imperial soldier wasn't anywhere near it.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi39pPMpmjX
"Alright, that's enough.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRp2AELIxd
Let's head back." Gob proclaimed to the group and David sighted in 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KFUa39fHh
relief. Thankfully David was given new shoes, to help him walk, as well 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZmZECTMUi
as new clothes and even an eyepatch. The walk itself was silent and 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlr1F1EvcI
brutal. Gob set a murderous pace and he didn't look back to check on any652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3CzWcfTmL
of them except for Rock, who bore it with his usual silence.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8LwCTt4e4
David walked in silence 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLreDXX2PD
as well. More to preserve his breathe, than anything else, as he felt 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3u2XkFdlPr
that he would fall to the ground if he even tried speaking. Toothless 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtsxXWzoXe
Stevie may have been old and not have teeth, but he had more stamina 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9tp5WwBEp
than David, farm work really built you up for long hours of activity.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFe1RFruqF
A walk that would've 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetlvxZMSFi
taken most of the day was managed in about half a day. David was so glad652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrryrttbMmT
to see the damp cave that he was ready to kiss the rocks when he came 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3HlWLzi8W
inside. The camp itself did not change much over the past month and 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnNloLlywC
David was still the new guy. Though he made good strides in integrating 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcijmsadlyH
himself as most of rebels waved to him in greeting.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8M4UeZ68K1
"I'll go report to 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtX5qp7h08X
Francesca. You can go relax." Gob passed David without a glance at him. 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQbcbTmXLL
The fact that Gob didn't glare or spit at David's direction must've 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjIGKZ6BJ9
meant that he was finally warming up to him! At least it was more than 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhC5cZXARNc
David got over the past month, in fact he was ready to give up on ever 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhy1CYbEm1
winning Gob over.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnY8kaEz9xX
Francesca on the other 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofwcJjqhFY
hand warmed up to him quite fast. As Denis summarized and David 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0LuAtdTad
confirmed she was a noble, a well read and knowledgeable noble but 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRyDjkBazR
someone who hasn't left her estate a lot and has never traveled outside 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI02gmmZcZy
the empire. While David was the well-traveled dashing smuggler. He 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRp3HfJy5N8
managed to enthrall her with made up stories and adventures. To be fair 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCloGOxhrcb
to Francesca she wasn't the only one falling under David's charm. As 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDHppdv2qB
most of the rebels found it hard to resist the dashing rogue act.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxdtp2zCmG
David just wished he 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QhldFaERE
could win them over without going on patrols and risking his life. Oh 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXKqIRrwA2
well no one said being a parasite was easy.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkwjYgQCcO
Further down the camps 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHywtNxoCNI
he could see Twitch, the nervous brother of Denis. Over the past month 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mhbnmKAz7
he integrated himself with the siblings, becoming a part of their gang. 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZxNBzf9v7
As the siblings were liked by the rebels in general this made them trust652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKVU7OAVcf
David all the more. David decided to join Twitch so he snuck up behind 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofcqrH4SWA
him. 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHUBKxLyvI
"What'cha doing?"652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5cbiZB5ik
Twitch practically jumped out of his own skin. "Agh! Oh D-david. Don't s-scare me l-l-like that."652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2r1ANQEQKF
"Sorry, twitch." David said patting the boys shoulder. "Didn't mean to, you know I hate doing it." He loved it652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidZkICbVDO
Twitch nodded and stood beside David." 'S alright. I-I-I'm just easily sca-ar-ared."652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfNkrsQr2C
David nodded. The boy 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HOdEGDNQB
was lucky to have any friends at all." Nothing wrong with being scared."652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LSJCWUwJe
He said with a comforting smile. "We all have our own strengths, like 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLs1A409GpN
you..." David paused for a bit racking his mind for something to say. "A652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9GpMFDDN4
poet! A man of dreams! How're your poems going anyway? I still want to 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTh8pmiWBTn
read them someday."652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpcyk9FK24
Twitch muttered 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8Ikt3QQGw
something under his breathe. David motioned with his hand for him to 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9J8Qh9mcZn
speak up. "...n-not poems. But son-so-songs."652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAXAPNvO0a
David stopped himself from shrugging and smiled. "Songs, even better then! Why not create a song for the rebellion?"652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEUA0CO4J9
Twitch started shaking 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2vU27b8Fa
his head but before the words: 'No' formed on his mouth a voice 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJmMV7UPds
interrupted them. "A hymn truly sounds marvelous!" Francesca made Twitch652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBj9g6xsj1
jump back even more than David did652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKd1JnGWFG
"I-I-I" He continued in that vain for a while.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVNnYG7ps9
"Speak up soldier!" Gobs652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpFa86qrkf
voice resounded around the cave, making everyone glance at Twitch, 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLrQBveMUV
which should've made his stuttering worse. But his fear of Gob took over652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXQ4IJYZmK
any instinct he had.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuX8c8uWgfn
"I'mnotgoodenough!" He 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0R9YkUPwxz
said as fast possible. David was astounded it was probably the first 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nUSGUxEV8
time the boy didn't stutter. Not that he could understand what he said 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTBFBCp4Lb
now.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wOWDa0oSw
"Nonsense." Francesca 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZcsqEcENY
put her hand on Twitch's shoulder. She didn't seem to have any trouble 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14dcT6IqOQ
understanding him. "Write me a song when you can, and we will sing it, 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSLdQHlbqN
all of us together." She projected her voice to others nearby which 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVL3GdGZEH2
raised a rugged cheer. That just made Twitch hide his face as it went 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWsXYxZ9sN
dark red.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJETovQ9Nvr
Francesca spared Twitch 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJ6sPop13u
one last warm smile and turned to the rest of the rebels standing 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XVnq7ynEi
around. "It's time for your daily studies! Spread the message!" Both 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4DbVQzEGR
children and adults listened to Francesca, without a hint of 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPNlwdvBnS
disobedience, and started moving in one line to the study cavern, as it 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYFC02XDPA
was popularly called.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhMtgT0OLP
The rebels not only 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe16n2a4Ij5
respected Francesca for her leadership and attitude towards the 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5dLLZYKUr
peasantry, but also her attempts to educate them. Most of the rebels 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaCd9slEmw
didn't know how to read or basic math while Francesca was an educated 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe781HmXC84
noble, thus she decided to teach everyone in the rebellion the basics. 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIe7iSkTD5
No one was barred from the lessons and both young and old were invited 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttYY5QzFfA
to them. 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbZblX0Ele
David attended one of 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchP52eppIQ
those lessons but found himself too bored to continue. They were talking652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxopAkNvk0O
about letter and numbers and some researcher named Vesputti or 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH08IqaU0Ap
something similar. Thus, he skipped over on those lessons, he wasn't the652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWiZqertuP
only one as most of the adults had decided that they were too old to 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslIuOdERz4
learn anything new.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokY9vga1c3
Before leading her group652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hvHwmiTCR
to the secluded cavern, Francesca approached David. "I'd like if you'd 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rWPk062mm
dine with me tonight, if it's to your liking?"652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6fA58FpXU
"Of course, I'll see you652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEtfb33yUt
later." Francesca did that sometimes, inviting David over. Chatting 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1PtbMCJN7
about trivialities, like whether he had any more vision about The Five. 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJf3jFDimlY
Thankfully Jester didn't deign to appear yet so David managed to sleep 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cep68wBjj
peacefully, well not accounting the strange dreams about some boy crying652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgB3euqWJT9
and calling for his mummy. Those dreams made David wake up in a foul 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubdmEJ4Kia
mood, he wasn't certain why but thought it could be because he didn't 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWC5vC6WJX
remember his parents or family.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnk0RLLZsC
Francesca, unaware of 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ257HHuGO1J
David's thoughts or dreams, nodded with a smile and led her group from 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIS8hEjVhMh
the main cavern. Twitch following her and joining his sibling to whom 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQiATwhfP1
David waved. Turning around he came face to face with Nook.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQDgkXbn4L
"I'm off duty now, got some guys looking for a game. You're in?"652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8lZDNWvm7
Nook was an interesting 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jdtLti3Jm
case, while he was definitely Gob's man he didn't seem to be as 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02xctfdpeh
disciplined as the other soldiers. He was also one of the few soldiers 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGF2dD5YApz
who was friendly with David instead of following Gob's lead and hating 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvDksGKYsQ
his guts. So they decided to have a card game here and there while 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0SO9hpa0d
inviting other people, a card game in which David lost more often than 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ffFreh6Ev
not. While David hated losing in cards it was a good method of making 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yLl3cIVei
friends and getting to know people. As well as a guarantee to keep 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuASWglfxnb
getting invited as long as you lost smart and graciously accepted it.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Cs8yACFb9
"Aye, why not Nook. Maybe I'll clean house this time."652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoMePar2LQ
Nook grinned a 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvTMxT7iG9
predator's smile and led David towards a secluded table. While gambling 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzJEgIObkq
wasn't banned or anything, as long as you were off duty, it was frowned 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97Xy9sonSg
upon by Gob. That and most rebels having limited resources. Having only 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylxx9PZ60z
their clothes and weapons stolen from the empire or brought on their 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlLMC4pIDN
backs.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqeJBb9gT7
Thus any card games were652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqvYrq86S9
just that, games to pass the time. At least until David proposed to bet652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3Yp2NdQ2O
their rations. Everyone received the basic rations few times per day 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeyuZFMHM7
and it was up to them how much of that they ate. It was barely enough to652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7SjoXyQGy
feed a healthy adult. As they have been on this isle for a while it was652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU30C1FRREr
harder to find fresh animals to hunt every day. A lot of the rebels 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YPgPh34IH
were opposed to that idea as they'd loose on the last bits of food they 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFhbUKHSXC
did have.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAFvkU5J0G
Some did think it was a 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgre7Inlev
brilliant idea and David was sitting down with a few of them right now. 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgryEWzDkEm
Nook, he was confident in his card abilities. Apparently before joining 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0Ajusm56s
the rebellion he was a militiaman in his village and gambled a lot. As 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzwq9KgGBB
far as David could see he was more lucky than actually good. Old 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKPCLdS4Ei
toothless Stevie, he joked that if he did lose his rations that it would652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGfzYSRDoc
save his last teeth. He also wasn't afraid to bet most of his rations 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WjQep9nhd
scaring the other players into folding, a good bluffer. Finally there 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXWOkhuyZn
was Tiruk, a huge man who definitely needed more rations just to 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxZJmkvWWY
survive. It surprised David anyone could keep that weight with tight the652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LJrRgbUSo
food has been.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡychSFnqYjl
They were the four main 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSqSdcx60B
players who usually joined the gambling games. Sometimes others joined 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHRIUjk0mX
but they usually stopped after going hungry for a day or two as they 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQWOczYUFH
lost their rations. These four though didn't give up after losing, 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkK9jIxwV25
because they knew that their chances of a feast were just around the 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFmXEYcNaU
corner. That fact created a sense of comradeship between the players. 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpi827jc4e7
Even if they were playing against each other they understood the risks 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKnS5gfihx
and accepted them.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wOUNarPz7
"''Ello boys." David 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ858I3AN14K
said sitting down at the table with Nook. There were nods all around the652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxT4pQeINr2
table and the cards were dealt. They were playing a card game called 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGo74xKAf0p
match 'n go. Most of the rebels had not heard of the game or at least 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMHrqk406k
knew it under a different name but most of them caught on fast, it was 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zdraxJkpF
often just played for fun. But the best games came from betting. As the 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAIbb4VzlT
risks went higher you tried to fool your opponent into thinking that you652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgSzNQSvDh
had the match or a higher card. David loved risk games like that, he 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN30ri5yOUs
loved reading the other player emotions and using it against them or at 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6pQJ7Vpvs
least for his own benefit. 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWjsU5n3YG
Nook was the first to 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ12IxraE0z
play. "I'm betting half of my rations on this. Gots a good deck, that I 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnKWvfFFS6
do." David could see the plastered smile on his face. At this point 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnso7qYQNTd
David could tell fake between real in a heartbeat. Nook was bluffing.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3zWRBkf6L
"Alright, I'll call that." David answered.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrzgburOCn
Tiruk, in answer, just 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3sHbVRUXf
shook his head and folded. He wasn't risking it. Stevenson with his 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2lNzxmNjG
gaped smile called it as well and cackled a bit.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpxkdU7tWp
Next card revealed. A 3 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pFMIusR6W
for Davids two threes. He'd have to fold that game, too high chance of 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaivEOsejFj
winning. So it went on and on, rations were won and lost. David won a 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOetk74I9S
few games but then he bet everything and lost on purpose, made Stevie a 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5Ad7oR8H1
very happy, old, man.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIhjs3Kjpc
Since David didn't have 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6a3Se5X9t
anything to bet with anymore he made his excuses and left the table. He 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfASelCC2p
took a look around for Gob and didn't see him anywhere so decided it 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvr8ZSnWEl
would be safe to take a walk.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAsFyf6A0B
Another thing he took to652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66ZAlDdr3x
doing over the past two weeks was exploring, finding any secret spaces 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mvvflAlBC
where he might hide. The rebels themselves only found one possible 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcGAlimmq0
emergency exit while David found three. Of course the other two exits 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFqKTD43et
only were wide enough for one person to pass through at a time. So it 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3My9EHRjf
could be that they just didn't consider them as such.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVzA4dggj4
He also found various 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKyMQmzyfV
hiding spots, not only for him but for items he stole. Weapons, 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzG7oosrCXX
ammunition, food and the like. If only a small amount disappeared at a 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6eE0Uw6xu
time no one really noticed and attributed it to absentmindedness. Though652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNcwA8ovw8
David believed Gob was getting suspicious so he would need to start 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1NB6DttlP
being more careful.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzD7YxKkNN
The caves themselves 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCg2VbByS0
seemed to go through the whole isle, David didn't believe he explored 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMedK6jpgY
even half of it. Gob tried to send a few soldiers every day to explore 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNxjLDZsXB
further into the caves, but many were afraid of the dark, believing 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTk2LRxjIn
various beasts were residing in them. Refusing to go inside without Gob 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcF4tc1RcJ
and since Gob was usually busy either creating or being out on patrols 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJk5P829q0
himself that limited their exploring time.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYoGq9SY24
That let David offer his652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNG5cQSMMhY
services as an explorer. He would explore the further caves and would 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCP4Bv5z0O
report on any worrying circumstances. Gob was reluctant to let him go 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXpEKFUOIo
but was convinced by Francesca that it would be a grand idea as it would652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXsoAyHitH
free more people for patrols and other duties.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGRtw6rttu
This time though he had a652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2Utk7djVZ
destination in mind. A bit further into one of the pathways, about an 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3vUlU5X3R
hour from the main cavern, there was a small pathway where a thin person652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dHS51IwUj
could barely fit. Following that pathway, if you could survive the 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1I2kCd9pq
feeling of getting crushed by the walls, was a pool. David was surprised652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEfF5lSz1g
when he found and astonished when he discovered the water was hot. 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tFoxm9Wli
That's where he was 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs309jqRY9s
going now; he needed a clear head for Francesca's meeting. No matter how652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoVhAf4DeY
she acted she was a noble, they always sought the best deals for 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6N3OW4MSul
themselves, always trying to ledge a situation in their favour. David 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8BIrEPs8n
would need to be on his toes. Or maybe he just wanted to actually relax 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXYNjZmSOJ
without anyone screaming or crying, he didn't decide which one sounded 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2rsd8iCfY
better in his mind.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQZZX8a9LI
Thus grabbing a torch as652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZ7agZa6CX
many of the pathways further down weren't lit, he began his, 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfqXbNE149
uneventful, journey. Luckily he reached his destination in a timely 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5NdcyRmHL
manner, though he hated going through that cramped space. He gave a 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjb0nGoC5PM
satisfied sigh as he sat down in the pool, his muscles losing the 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yzbhI66sW
tension he gathered over the past few weeks, the water reached up to his652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1lZ755oqc
chest and he dunked his head under the water finally enjoying a proper 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJBcJsAGyF
clean. He was careful to keep track of time but other than that he let 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhI0SDejCof
his mind wander and just blanked out. 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnoQ8HiewQ
Before he even noticed, 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8T1rjf1BN
to David's disappointment, it was time to leave. He was also saddened by652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNq2cC13RO
the fact that the water ended up a bit darker after his bath, a way to 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmx6QSbXh5
hit a guys confidence. With a sad sigh he put on his dirty and worn out 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MDcOkvGtz
clothes and went back to the main cavern to the sound of activity and 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMGcSa2pZk
the smell of unwashed masses.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvEmO9JlSO
It did seem that David 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNzW7Uxtn8
came back just in time as people were gathered near the cooking pots to 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0qgkGs50V
gather their rations. David did the same and then found Stevie, sitting 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr136F0jfMv
with some other older rebels, and gave him his rations. Stevie nodded 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtv9cV1kzWh
and had a sparkle in his eye. "Maybe nexsht time you can save me 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7LknOcFEc
teethsh." And he cackled at his joke. David managed a weak laugh that 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpczIHLoK4
seemed to satisfy Stevie.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡst4FjyrPcf
"Don't keep Francesca 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsxmM3Zgm0
waiting." Came a gruff voice from behind. David tried to hide his 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGvgUV08JP
annoyance at the fact that Gob managed to sneak up on him and scare him.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFkKEZrKru
Some people just had no sense of proper manners.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1AI1koxF1
"Oh I wouldn't dare." 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3K9M0jfaN
He gave a mock bow which seemed to infuriate Gob more. "I was just out 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjurd8DFb5
exploring, nothing to report so far, sir Gob." Gob just grunted and 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SSpASubov
walked away. 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSaSi8JWNk
David smiled and waved 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6c3vTQ56f
after him, the guy really needed to unwind. With nothing else to do but 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIgkFaDHav
shrug at that thought David went towards Francesca's room. Even if 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJsVZrzaw6
Francesca did pretend to be all for equality and the like she still had 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1A4OFV6YY
her personal quarters, such as they were, as well as an actual bed, 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpbC4TVivB
table, chairs. They were shoddy work at best, crafted quickly by some of652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuxGY26cdR
the rebels, but they were more than anything any other rebel had. David652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFPVB4G6sP
was impressed by how she had more and yet most still perceived her as 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33mgtwtH0e
the paragon of virtue.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHazq3kzh0
Her room, as per usual, 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbNCEaD56d
was guarded. But the guard waved him on with a smile. David saw it as a 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAazf6hRLU7
pointless precaution anyway, but what could you do. Francesca herself 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuffBIiRWJG
was already seated, with a torch in the middle of the table, a pale 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9HW7mJpk1
imitation of a candle. One thing the rebels had a lot of were torches, 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYuMSoaihS
to light up all caverns and pathways. 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTkC9uWWVg
"Oh, David! Please sit" she gestured towards the second chair.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6cywq41TA
David sat down with a 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYEFKfvngm
nod and smile. They weren't eating anything extravagant, just what the 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaT6rMk19op
rest were. Dried meat, nuts, sometimes if they were lucky they could 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvm8JW3IE6Y
even get rabbit or vegetable soup, but that more of a luxury nowadays. 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FFrwk1Pvi
This time it was some dried meat of unknown origin and some water found 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Cigrzttz6
in a stream. Delicious.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLR0WTIGFF
"So pleasantries first or business first?"652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7nVjQ5F26
"I found that going straight to business can ruin a healthy appetite."652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4ur5uvaEc
Francesca nodded and 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHexz2z4YUH
began to cut her meat with her wooden utensils. While David had similar 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQDMoinYk6
equipment he didn't really find much use of them and found it better to 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOwnpQ7yxg
eat with his own hands. Made it faster and when you're under cannon fire652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa50zGx3ft2
fast eating was paramount.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ht8WrfO9x
As expected David 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLs0425sgnv
finished his portion first and ended up waiting for Francesca to finish 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRE9eAo5sMy
hers, which took another 5 or 10 minutes. The girl was certainly a 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4bkOZgZvX
deliberate eater.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiITsa3Hsl3
"So on to business." She652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEoN6ByFlx
paused making sure David was ready, once he nodded she continued. "Tell652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuZHtfRhFn
me, do you know who actually hired your services?"652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lJxvGfOSI
"No idea, captain was usually tight lipped about our clients. I just always assumed it was one of you guys."652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98wrzGxh7U
"In a way. It's someone 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2sQPyYSrr
who's...interested in our cause. One of Gob's friends. He is able to get652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyCB31ijtv
in and out of the isles without arousing too much suspicion."652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTWyS1I6nE
"Can't imagine you can tell me who it is?"652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SaHE4TG3n
"It's not for me to tell sadly, Gob was adamant that it's best kept as secret." Francesca smiled apologetically "apologies"652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxcfX1VpQF
David waved his hand in a playful manner. "No worries, I'm surprised you're telling me any of this in the first place."652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvOcPLmUJ9
"Well, there is a 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZfd2LkuPY
reason. Since the weapons we got previously are in the Empire's hands 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlf5IZtI5rG
and we can't fight them for it." Putting it lightly the rebels never 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgktKIykQ3v
really fought the empire in a straight on fight. Mostly raids and 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Z043AM8Ks
recruiting villagers with their possessions. Easy pickings. "Gob got in 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5iHEGTxWA
touch with his friend again and luckily we managed to set up a meeting 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vwsuaCHxW
in a few days the edge of a different isle.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LOYZwSopQ
"We will also be moving 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hucDMloy7
our base" she continued, sadly. "I can't keep us here with the danger 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13MwbZpTld
increasing, so we will move slowly, to an isle we were based in before 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHokgqI6U2o
so some will know where to go."652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUFTW9wkYt
"That's good, why did 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6cMbhXAsc
you want to keep us here for this long anyway?" While he was annoyed at 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrJDbu68l6
hearing that question every time he went on patrols, he couldn't deny he652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLRuHqhjRq
was interested in the answer.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5X5pXxFqER
"It...It has to do with one of The Five. I can't reveal more in fear that it might interfere with your objective. "652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Z4Vght69m
David nodded, not a full652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWvKn9wA7I
answer he wanted but to push might create a rift between them. Religion652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5Frxd7vIg
was pretty important to Francesca "Don't worry; you don't have to 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAjjWZ81F5
reveal anything you don't want want to." He said in a soothing tone652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsvv2PVg9j
"Thank you." She said 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YcWrya5P0
gratefully. "Where was I? Oh, yes. We'll have groups with specified 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWw5rzNjvyJ
leaders going back to that previous isle, they'll lead them and we'll 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OvEXsCZMS
regroup at a specified point."652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYYxugbKml
"How will you get 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FWxt6nSSw
everyone over to the next isle?" Isles were divided by cracks, and while652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZahs26IH4n
some you could jump over, others were so wide you could fit a full 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMNvLwqGU3
city.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaugcvfKQ1W
"We have small sky 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYIFBfxVL5
boats. Some of the groups will use it...Others...Others will need to 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3l3XKpGdKd
find their own way" she said in bitter tones. "I don't like that, we're 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFByMXFU5x
abandoning my people. But Gob said it's too dangerous traveling in a big652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPe9f4aye3n
group."652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1UfEIeD7Z
"You're a good leader on your own. You should trust your own instincts." Ah finally! An opportunity to create that rift652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPs1cPNJpD
She gave him a sad smile652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjagFrGLOJ
in response. "Thank you, but I do not a good head for tactics or 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAgPkSe16Q
military matters. I've had some education on it, but Gob is much better 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jt6EoWfoB
at it." David still wasn't sure just what Gob did before the rebellion. 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYOwVnLKlm
Francesca stated that the past did not matter and as long as they were 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoP5hvOank
willing to fight for the rebellions ideals they would be allowed to keep652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9ycZt8tQ8
their past in the past.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtSrp6kFvX
"Now then, back to 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6x08MTam1
business." She said more cheerily. "Myself and Gob will be meeting that 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQIN9yz4D8
person in a few days. We will have guards but I'd also like for you to 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIK6lLewAeX
come. You're well-traveled and met many people; your advice would be 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iRGfdIyfU
valuable, especially since we'll only be bartering for them."652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFh4PsOBUs
"You'll have it. I'm 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuPugHCeZi
more than happy to join you." While he wasn't looking forward to 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8MZNH8lTc
sleeping with all the insects again, it might help his back to not sleep652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfXQz3Cudl
on a rock hard surface.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oP9W8LQtS
"Perfect! I'll let Gob know and convince him as well." She laughed sheepishly. "I didn't really confirm this with him you see."652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6JZVUf4iz
"Oh, the guy loves me. It'll be easy." Francesca smiled at that, she knew just how much Gob hated David.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7U6AJLOdG
A lull in the conversation and then a question David was dreading "Did you have any more visions? From the one who chose you?"652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBM7cP6D43
"Sadly no, I'm as 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0V25w6hrtD
clueless as when I was born." This wasn't exactly true. He knew he had 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVhoIUBpiQ
to find something, and suspected Francesca was after it as well he 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd90YH4bPGh
suspected it was on this isle. Francesca seemed to know more, but she 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlu4agMkFI
wasn't willing to reveal it. She might hide it under lofty ideals, but 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDODFzJOMr
she was concealing the truth from both David and the rebels.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFusOaDB3G
"Do not worry, I am 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fiiM355HP
su..." before she could continue their whole world rocked. As explosions652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttMJvUgZSV
rang from outside and rubble started falling all around them., hitting 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNpFldgnla
the table and dislodging the torch, casting ominous shadows on the walls652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3BHPtHYcv
"Wha..." before David could finish his thought a very worried Gob barged in. 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHKBKYSJXs
"We're under attack, they found us."
