"I don't get it, why don't we go to a different isle? The Imperialsh will have ush shurrounded in no time."634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyfKgVVT9k

"Too many people to move, they'll notice us."634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mOSgOm08M
"Never shtopped ush before." A pause as the old man spat to the side. "What about fighting then, too little of ush?"634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcxAUZTIG6
Gob shook his head, 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0CGiyCBkW
tired. David could understand that, and he was annoyed he could 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LxT6vAOYa
empathize with Gob. As per Gob's decision every time it was David's turn634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBToQSXxO9y
to go patrolling Gob accompanied him. At first David found this 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkEKfM2CEt
insulting, he was the paragon of trust after all, but after a few of 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaWtcwQniw
such patrols he just found it annoying. Ever patrol was usually 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPIItiT5NN
conducted with 3 or 4 people, usually with different people. There were a634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfF8YhgYPU
few constants in those groups though, the first was that David and Gob 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeA8OjZQlmr
were in them and the second was that someone always asked when they 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡne8DcJsIGO
would move.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLee2jVwnbW
Now David has only been 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2LFRrdrRR
in the camp for a month now and managed to glean some information from 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaYB7KMGps
the other rebels and just observations. There were three groups of 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbT9BCQ6b8k
rebels. Peasants, peasant-soldiers and soldiers, as David liked to call 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpWbTKXLXY
them. Peasants and peasant-soldiers were the people with no, to only 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYSRKYhzXQ
basic, military training. Such as Denis and his ilk. The soldiers 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdcPQ6Amwv
weren't necessary from the military, but they had more experience. 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQQj3CinuT
Experience wasn't the only difference, civilians and civilian soldiers 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsQgkapiTp
loved and trusted both Gob and Francesca. Soldiers only trusted Gob. 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR89g6e48cR
Which worked out nicely for David as he could use this discord and 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuD4kblrN8
divided loyalties.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOVWaJesVs
Another important thing 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoqBhGu4Qo
he managed to find out was that the rebels had stayed on the same isle 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcpJAoWwDG
for three months. Many of the rebels were unhappy with the prolonged 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgV6FgtAC41
stay, especially the soldiers. This resulted in that question and Gob 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNN5MEfmaEx
giving the same answer to anyone who asked. It was really riveting stuff634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9kKp0HVHT
for David, especially after hearing it for the twentieth third time. 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdw6wqI0xj
Ol' Stevie asked it around two or three times over the past few days to 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvNvi6ZXVi
their destination.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FOgTw0MuB
Today they were out 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmLHL4kK2L
looking at the new imperial camp, turning into more of a makeshift fort,634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFh2hZAEodN
being built around the wreckage of the 'Flying Fish'. It was a crude 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJdkGEgHDC
construction, something that could be easily taken apart. They were 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGo4VddSlIS
joined by Rock and another rebel, called old toothless Stevie, on 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlL3rdAN1E
account of him being old and having lost most of his teeth. 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHyt7zOQC7
"Yes, now shut up and 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsg4ZWwQtTs
remember everything you can about the imperials." Stevie shrugged at 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjgw5FQrSs
that and continued looking through his binocular. David kept further 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxAb6ArP55
away from the pair, watching their backs with Rock, the youth did not 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsonX6YmEE
become any more talkative during Davids stay in the caves.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs95UBkvLG7
They were at their 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLfyw5VwfK
lookout spot for a few hours at this point and David was glad he didn't 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8m1MvY7xsT
feel any magical tugs coming from that direction, after discussing it 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqbASNQE2b
with Francesca it turned out that what David felt was a magical tug, 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDE9hukn6A7
looked like the imperial soldier wasn't anywhere near it.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIxspWXX2o
"Alright, that's enough.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRyGVZeY5x
Let's head back." Gob proclaimed to the group and David sighted in 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6glfcbwSby
relief. Thankfully David was given new shoes, to help him walk, as well 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwKBCQMBft
as new clothes and even an eyepatch. The walk itself was silent and 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5DmvEqPNk
brutal. Gob set a murderous pace and he didn't look back to check on any634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiu1Gs54H3
of them except for Rock, who bore it with his usual silence.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFpb1RrvIq
David walked in silence 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgCzSjU8LK
as well. More to preserve his breathe, than anything else, as he felt 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GRnebRtUV
that he would fall to the ground if he even tried speaking. Toothless 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYkXWrf5jf
Stevie may have been old and not have teeth, but he had more stamina 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGUkmz9Am2
than David, farm work really built you up for long hours of activity.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnP8qBO4Klp
A walk that would've 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6i5JFkEES
taken most of the day was managed in about half a day. David was so glad634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHeD2EJvoO
to see the damp cave that he was ready to kiss the rocks when he came 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJi6vw0wMJ
inside. The camp itself did not change much over the past month and 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PAA8yVPSl
David was still the new guy. Though he made good strides in integrating 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkRle4LPr1
himself as most of rebels waved to him in greeting.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NgfvqM691
"I'll go report to 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazc62TUyQN
Francesca. You can go relax." Gob passed David without a glance at him. 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XanIzg6wh
The fact that Gob didn't glare or spit at David's direction must've 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4Ko7RKvbA
meant that he was finally warming up to him! At least it was more than 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPJlCm2l38
David got over the past month, in fact he was ready to give up on ever 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcNTBTeSxx
winning Gob over.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFCJSgLjXE
Francesca on the other 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8OFa4dbU0
hand warmed up to him quite fast. As Denis summarized and David 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLT5mG2b71t
confirmed she was a noble, a well read and knowledgeable noble but 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡty9xnPZhiW
someone who hasn't left her estate a lot and has never traveled outside 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Nby4Joxrp
the empire. While David was the well-traveled dashing smuggler. He 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDWgGSuVCa
managed to enthrall her with made up stories and adventures. To be fair 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fIaS6Iprv
to Francesca she wasn't the only one falling under David's charm. As 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwG9OzhTyEv
most of the rebels found it hard to resist the dashing rogue act.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxoTMuV0gx
David just wished he 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTcpWWq5p5
could win them over without going on patrols and risking his life. Oh 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncaO65RrjJ
well no one said being a parasite was easy.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBE8SgDVXKf
Further down the camps 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdopHpgnCU
he could see Twitch, the nervous brother of Denis. Over the past month 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAa3Reskrq4
he integrated himself with the siblings, becoming a part of their gang. 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1KbmfYNsj
As the siblings were liked by the rebels in general this made them trust634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRF0zcN2jJP
David all the more. David decided to join Twitch so he snuck up behind 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuzhuTcOq1
him. 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQgubKcqhd
"What'cha doing?"634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjxxcsty67
Twitch practically jumped out of his own skin. "Agh! Oh D-david. Don't s-scare me l-l-like that."634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoa8WN0mUNR
"Sorry, twitch." David said patting the boys shoulder. "Didn't mean to, you know I hate doing it." He loved it634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iSyiBY2Fg
Twitch nodded and stood beside David." 'S alright. I-I-I'm just easily sca-ar-ared."634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25izSHJQ3b
David nodded. The boy 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcrZw7dWD9
was lucky to have any friends at all." Nothing wrong with being scared."634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFMef7sjFH
He said with a comforting smile. "We all have our own strengths, like 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZcIh92CTn
you..." David paused for a bit racking his mind for something to say. "A634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDSL6C6CnO
poet! A man of dreams! How're your poems going anyway? I still want to 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4hkqq4LRH
read them someday."634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IclpBa5FP
Twitch muttered 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfIcChCFMQ
something under his breathe. David motioned with his hand for him to 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRS9vqzpHK
speak up. "...n-not poems. But son-so-songs."634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77AxeCWJ7s
David stopped himself from shrugging and smiled. "Songs, even better then! Why not create a song for the rebellion?"634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zghoHfxS3
Twitch started shaking 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmTz4qsDUl
his head but before the words: 'No' formed on his mouth a voice 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡse0DqmyKto
interrupted them. "A hymn truly sounds marvelous!" Francesca made Twitch634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgwzObZ8nA
jump back even more than David did634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fikoBmem4
"I-I-I" He continued in that vain for a while.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfAoKzfwEp
"Speak up soldier!" Gobs634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsavaElkZs
voice resounded around the cave, making everyone glance at Twitch, 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7CS7pjx3M
which should've made his stuttering worse. But his fear of Gob took over634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpnc767qHG
any instinct he had.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU32WuydUT3
"I'mnotgoodenough!" He 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0oMyug3Kg
said as fast possible. David was astounded it was probably the first 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6xpccjpKW
time the boy didn't stutter. Not that he could understand what he said 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLs97UAJOOx
now.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXG4dWZJ6BE
"Nonsense." Francesca 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUKXqAKsVZ
put her hand on Twitch's shoulder. She didn't seem to have any trouble 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48teVx6jdy
understanding him. "Write me a song when you can, and we will sing it, 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCg9bNUHLXV
all of us together." She projected her voice to others nearby which 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBoohB7xt9
raised a rugged cheer. That just made Twitch hide his face as it went 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dkdMJhZwL
dark red.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM40nYN7dMd
Francesca spared Twitch 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBlYh8twTC
one last warm smile and turned to the rest of the rebels standing 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybAWZlIgkn
around. "It's time for your daily studies! Spread the message!" Both 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PCUuEsVNl
children and adults listened to Francesca, without a hint of 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3V2Eyzshu
disobedience, and started moving in one line to the study cavern, as it 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1b1ynLJYy
was popularly called.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6dQPYko6d
The rebels not only 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyN3zFL38Xh
respected Francesca for her leadership and attitude towards the 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkzJMwCTQd
peasantry, but also her attempts to educate them. Most of the rebels 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQ8NjR08Yy
didn't know how to read or basic math while Francesca was an educated 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtARCFBNID7
noble, thus she decided to teach everyone in the rebellion the basics. 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQX29KqifsL
No one was barred from the lessons and both young and old were invited 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6ba8SuSls
to them. 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTvjvwMrHu
David attended one of 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePwTCJDrY6
those lessons but found himself too bored to continue. They were talking634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIe3NQKAnD
about letter and numbers and some researcher named Vesputti or 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObo6pxOcLG
something similar. Thus, he skipped over on those lessons, he wasn't the634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VjaVLvjZK
only one as most of the adults had decided that they were too old to 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVsilIMRyh
learn anything new.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViIncBBaKU
Before leading her group634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTdIkO8GGx
to the secluded cavern, Francesca approached David. "I'd like if you'd 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQfnKKhc0e
dine with me tonight, if it's to your liking?"634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3w0OhvJFE
"Of course, I'll see you634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdjTO1Xqp9
later." Francesca did that sometimes, inviting David over. Chatting 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQlVqoceQO
about trivialities, like whether he had any more vision about The Five. 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kAbmac2TO
Thankfully Jester didn't deign to appear yet so David managed to sleep 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BsZxNqWgh
peacefully, well not accounting the strange dreams about some boy crying634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOCaHKFklb
and calling for his mummy. Those dreams made David wake up in a foul 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmhZbrGOAg
mood, he wasn't certain why but thought it could be because he didn't 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzT0l1HZBvp
remember his parents or family.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwfnYfuNR4
Francesca, unaware of 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8m7B64S4t
David's thoughts or dreams, nodded with a smile and led her group from 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6KXlNMAf8
the main cavern. Twitch following her and joining his sibling to whom 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjNcdzHAo3
David waved. Turning around he came face to face with Nook.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bvEx4EFNr
"I'm off duty now, got some guys looking for a game. You're in?"634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9dWQti5ix
Nook was an interesting 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8U65VnR37p
case, while he was definitely Gob's man he didn't seem to be as 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9j8LZWRwQF
disciplined as the other soldiers. He was also one of the few soldiers 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxWCkg5ymG
who was friendly with David instead of following Gob's lead and hating 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBej3E2BNm5
his guts. So they decided to have a card game here and there while 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYeyTBTJVW
inviting other people, a card game in which David lost more often than 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuW0hul32RD
not. While David hated losing in cards it was a good method of making 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJuSPpK5oT
friends and getting to know people. As well as a guarantee to keep 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wjj6hYgzC
getting invited as long as you lost smart and graciously accepted it.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRvIYPio1w
"Aye, why not Nook. Maybe I'll clean house this time."634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCdX55FZro
Nook grinned a 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8NOagaeTE
predator's smile and led David towards a secluded table. While gambling 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdq8o1ebjM
wasn't banned or anything, as long as you were off duty, it was frowned 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVqw9RcGJr
upon by Gob. That and most rebels having limited resources. Having only 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgSZFTa9F6
their clothes and weapons stolen from the empire or brought on their 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJ6MFkSlms
backs.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTArgwitNL
Thus any card games were634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7cyu5a0RR
just that, games to pass the time. At least until David proposed to bet634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJA9jBV515
their rations. Everyone received the basic rations few times per day 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshmplwhys8
and it was up to them how much of that they ate. It was barely enough to634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1K2xzs9vmw
feed a healthy adult. As they have been on this isle for a while it was634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHOFBnMOeY
harder to find fresh animals to hunt every day. A lot of the rebels 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNG9TvjCF8
were opposed to that idea as they'd loose on the last bits of food they 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswFxqR1Gii
did have.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZKPL4tOc3
Some did think it was a 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlghQUxobgr
brilliant idea and David was sitting down with a few of them right now. 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXJ1nRMQuF
Nook, he was confident in his card abilities. Apparently before joining 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjL6gRgfuWt
the rebellion he was a militiaman in his village and gambled a lot. As 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwGgiGHbDw
far as David could see he was more lucky than actually good. Old 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmDElSBzFh
toothless Stevie, he joked that if he did lose his rations that it would634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfMnST1T56
save his last teeth. He also wasn't afraid to bet most of his rations 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25OlKgq601
scaring the other players into folding, a good bluffer. Finally there 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdco7vCKBh
was Tiruk, a huge man who definitely needed more rations just to 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxkk5y3vlV
survive. It surprised David anyone could keep that weight with tight the634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qqHvIgRjE
food has been.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CEZuGxqUZ
They were the four main 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDx1tNsZvMf
players who usually joined the gambling games. Sometimes others joined 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvfQgZRmvm
but they usually stopped after going hungry for a day or two as they 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawuVWBsC3y
lost their rations. These four though didn't give up after losing, 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GNmJWItgm
because they knew that their chances of a feast were just around the 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wh6OrWbYb
corner. That fact created a sense of comradeship between the players. 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsWivSxfSW
Even if they were playing against each other they understood the risks 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VysYkpVbn
and accepted them.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuNhBKgwqu
"''Ello boys." David 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHD7CasihL
said sitting down at the table with Nook. There were nods all around the634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjR4Jg0mPU4
table and the cards were dealt. They were playing a card game called 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXvzEYCW8M
match 'n go. Most of the rebels had not heard of the game or at least 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKySpdTKdt
knew it under a different name but most of them caught on fast, it was 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrJi70fuED
often just played for fun. But the best games came from betting. As the 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPCDbK81bM
risks went higher you tried to fool your opponent into thinking that you634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnscKlR5AC
had the match or a higher card. David loved risk games like that, he 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXAUTUzYqG
loved reading the other player emotions and using it against them or at 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILJy9BgXJ2
least for his own benefit. 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWo0eVt4zc
Nook was the first to 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDopSigeqD
play. "I'm betting half of my rations on this. Gots a good deck, that I 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSEJnQUwE0
do." David could see the plastered smile on his face. At this point 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgNInjl6tc
David could tell fake between real in a heartbeat. Nook was bluffing.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZkykU2kIB
"Alright, I'll call that." David answered.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF84Boio6Lf
Tiruk, in answer, just 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRx0cXMOe9E
shook his head and folded. He wasn't risking it. Stevenson with his 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4kLeNRzrP
gaped smile called it as well and cackled a bit.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbnH47C42x
Next card revealed. A 3 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xgnnORHB6
for Davids two threes. He'd have to fold that game, too high chance of 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCn4dbyFZDj
winning. So it went on and on, rations were won and lost. David won a 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLw6ZBSGBA4
few games but then he bet everything and lost on purpose, made Stevie a 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWOc3IZgYF
very happy, old, man.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh90gzpst51
Since David didn't have 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm37jyfZ3VE
anything to bet with anymore he made his excuses and left the table. He 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aE0xRcNfq
took a look around for Gob and didn't see him anywhere so decided it 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3IUwUxJVG
would be safe to take a walk.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMMJzaGYNu
Another thing he took to634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSFWDVR5EE
doing over the past two weeks was exploring, finding any secret spaces 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIwKGyeGUx
where he might hide. The rebels themselves only found one possible 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAt3Tf370WQ
emergency exit while David found three. Of course the other two exits 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohdW5bnPDZ
only were wide enough for one person to pass through at a time. So it 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDDX1VFLIg
could be that they just didn't consider them as such.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7waia09fk
He also found various 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9xNMatdLd
hiding spots, not only for him but for items he stole. Weapons, 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQMq6TnAAT
ammunition, food and the like. If only a small amount disappeared at a 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjlAXWNess
time no one really noticed and attributed it to absentmindedness. Though634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdcQmWOJPE
David believed Gob was getting suspicious so he would need to start 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC29op8lpDC
being more careful.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXj5dhVZKb
The caves themselves 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfKnOI7Ayb
seemed to go through the whole isle, David didn't believe he explored 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0t9vXuCJ0
even half of it. Gob tried to send a few soldiers every day to explore 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FkvBRR3Cc
further into the caves, but many were afraid of the dark, believing 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Q682DwLvr
various beasts were residing in them. Refusing to go inside without Gob 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvGkf2z964
and since Gob was usually busy either creating or being out on patrols 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwY3Jl5sReb
himself that limited their exploring time.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGH9daAnF9
That let David offer his634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITAh6h4aDr
services as an explorer. He would explore the further caves and would 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlA5PQM8CsV
report on any worrying circumstances. Gob was reluctant to let him go 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBy48q6cHUE
but was convinced by Francesca that it would be a grand idea as it would634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoD6YD88lT
free more people for patrols and other duties.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewFdIHTnJM
This time though he had a634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZooa3ImPK
destination in mind. A bit further into one of the pathways, about an 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3qjT7bo9d
hour from the main cavern, there was a small pathway where a thin person634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡld2dgt7zYQ
could barely fit. Following that pathway, if you could survive the 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYDtw5PdMy
feeling of getting crushed by the walls, was a pool. David was surprised634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4MVRZfTIO
when he found and astonished when he discovered the water was hot. 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONjblwLbSs
That's where he was 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Tv0DGJHHy
going now; he needed a clear head for Francesca's meeting. No matter how634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2n32MsacD
she acted she was a noble, they always sought the best deals for 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEprTN1a2EY
themselves, always trying to ledge a situation in their favour. David 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpyo7WVfu5
would need to be on his toes. Or maybe he just wanted to actually relax 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSHof7Wufi
without anyone screaming or crying, he didn't decide which one sounded 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8kQVWAeBL
better in his mind.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qA2uE45uq
Thus grabbing a torch as634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigJC9SRhCn
many of the pathways further down weren't lit, he began his, 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DPJAOEfFS
uneventful, journey. Luckily he reached his destination in a timely 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oZQgak03T
manner, though he hated going through that cramped space. He gave a 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobsczSDqOi
satisfied sigh as he sat down in the pool, his muscles losing the 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLH6CgAhQtq
tension he gathered over the past few weeks, the water reached up to his634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yN8szXLdm
chest and he dunked his head under the water finally enjoying a proper 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSpdX9Pw3S
clean. He was careful to keep track of time but other than that he let 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tvSqZnnnv
his mind wander and just blanked out. 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJMFG2IgCu
Before he even noticed, 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXz9VL1KINm
to David's disappointment, it was time to leave. He was also saddened by634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0raRXwXO3
the fact that the water ended up a bit darker after his bath, a way to 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmmCuOZGUs
hit a guys confidence. With a sad sigh he put on his dirty and worn out 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3h6Y1Ff5o
clothes and went back to the main cavern to the sound of activity and 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneIV3Nr6dv
the smell of unwashed masses.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vlwqrwACi
It did seem that David 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEYeMQpARO
came back just in time as people were gathered near the cooking pots to 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKOdWyi6DB
gather their rations. David did the same and then found Stevie, sitting 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCt9BY32Zqf
with some other older rebels, and gave him his rations. Stevie nodded 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyY9jtbFi7z
and had a sparkle in his eye. "Maybe nexsht time you can save me 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7fp35au2u
teethsh." And he cackled at his joke. David managed a weak laugh that 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡog1sIHNlR4
seemed to satisfy Stevie.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKlzHp5qeN
"Don't keep Francesca 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UtwYunNhg
waiting." Came a gruff voice from behind. David tried to hide his 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPPbXRfvnc
annoyance at the fact that Gob managed to sneak up on him and scare him.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62afr4jpAF
Some people just had no sense of proper manners.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFyM7L7Qik
"Oh I wouldn't dare." 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddX9n4Spw4
He gave a mock bow which seemed to infuriate Gob more. "I was just out 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEmfxRp7O8
exploring, nothing to report so far, sir Gob." Gob just grunted and 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJijCuPd8MY
walked away. 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyZwEcHRBu
David smiled and waved 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXjPoPoaAV
after him, the guy really needed to unwind. With nothing else to do but 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHTXya30Y0
shrug at that thought David went towards Francesca's room. Even if 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTv1R6sNlK6
Francesca did pretend to be all for equality and the like she still had 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5TTVhOSaV
her personal quarters, such as they were, as well as an actual bed, 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoj5h5NOnMf
table, chairs. They were shoddy work at best, crafted quickly by some of634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNhRXbs1k0
the rebels, but they were more than anything any other rebel had. David634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPewClQps3
was impressed by how she had more and yet most still perceived her as 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7QhNiHbkR
the paragon of virtue.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDebWtyf8n
Her room, as per usual, 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa65EMO1iI3
was guarded. But the guard waved him on with a smile. David saw it as a 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAbu7YupyV
pointless precaution anyway, but what could you do. Francesca herself 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy450lawVJe
was already seated, with a torch in the middle of the table, a pale 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99KhLDJubl
imitation of a candle. One thing the rebels had a lot of were torches, 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzsN7eNbW6
to light up all caverns and pathways. 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0ZLH1sx60
"Oh, David! Please sit" she gestured towards the second chair.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIS09UfnnM
David sat down with a 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdvnGwqNi1
nod and smile. They weren't eating anything extravagant, just what the 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGETGknNuQR
rest were. Dried meat, nuts, sometimes if they were lucky they could 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bZhbc35jw
even get rabbit or vegetable soup, but that more of a luxury nowadays. 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5tRxIruAT
This time it was some dried meat of unknown origin and some water found 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1rYR1pwxP
in a stream. Delicious.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuP8XfUxHO
"So pleasantries first or business first?"634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzlYuRY53C
"I found that going straight to business can ruin a healthy appetite."634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgt7Qby4WR
Francesca nodded and 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxj9xig8u7g
began to cut her meat with her wooden utensils. While David had similar 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3GgQXAKeZ
equipment he didn't really find much use of them and found it better to 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwBwWJtctb
eat with his own hands. Made it faster and when you're under cannon fire634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKKn3v0Cvk
fast eating was paramount.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVOLUQSX6w
As expected David 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5kdFgkrqL
finished his portion first and ended up waiting for Francesca to finish 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziDmeYN7bT
hers, which took another 5 or 10 minutes. The girl was certainly a 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQyk7vuSDH
deliberate eater.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuECuNJ32I
"So on to business." She634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQI4hg1PnNB
paused making sure David was ready, once he nodded she continued. "Tell634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rErtkeDV4
me, do you know who actually hired your services?"634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVAP73fzd6
"No idea, captain was usually tight lipped about our clients. I just always assumed it was one of you guys."634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6EAEecOGq
"In a way. It's someone 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSRF4chIP9
who's...interested in our cause. One of Gob's friends. He is able to get634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GEN9bAbMC
in and out of the isles without arousing too much suspicion."634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38R9ItG50L
"Can't imagine you can tell me who it is?"634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fPXg6dRHX
"It's not for me to tell sadly, Gob was adamant that it's best kept as secret." Francesca smiled apologetically "apologies"634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXAXvwsDt8
David waved his hand in a playful manner. "No worries, I'm surprised you're telling me any of this in the first place."634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAqmzg1SCH
"Well, there is a 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlkbLRQ7Hn
reason. Since the weapons we got previously are in the Empire's hands 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldMQhfbKV1
and we can't fight them for it." Putting it lightly the rebels never 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DGxBUseOA
really fought the empire in a straight on fight. Mostly raids and 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8lFHWCvnA
recruiting villagers with their possessions. Easy pickings. "Gob got in 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYbhuKFzxj
touch with his friend again and luckily we managed to set up a meeting 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVM7cahpHjI
in a few days the edge of a different isle.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEW4zkenHl
"We will also be moving 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRA9mPGntik
our base" she continued, sadly. "I can't keep us here with the danger 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0gVqSYjXc
increasing, so we will move slowly, to an isle we were based in before 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVKCpapXio
so some will know where to go."634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvi0jw2oj7I
"That's good, why did 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhTbK8r4BB
you want to keep us here for this long anyway?" While he was annoyed at 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSG0M6NOXNJ
hearing that question every time he went on patrols, he couldn't deny he634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglVVTJmJYR
was interested in the answer.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVM84kr8sG
"It...It has to do with one of The Five. I can't reveal more in fear that it might interfere with your objective. "634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLHY09vV1r
David nodded, not a full634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYz3dYEVrq
answer he wanted but to push might create a rift between them. Religion634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusFUvnEi4T
was pretty important to Francesca "Don't worry; you don't have to 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKfuEY2Z02
reveal anything you don't want want to." He said in a soothing tone634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLpAvph2XG
"Thank you." She said 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbkUTF8LLX
gratefully. "Where was I? Oh, yes. We'll have groups with specified 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwrONpyKbD
leaders going back to that previous isle, they'll lead them and we'll 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEx662PjrDB
regroup at a specified point."634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6ttpi6zYM
"How will you get 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocV5To2MK6
everyone over to the next isle?" Isles were divided by cracks, and while634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OrSQaLqCD
some you could jump over, others were so wide you could fit a full 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlz18lRmie
city.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFzhWmvUFM
"We have small sky 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsOA6HAPS4
boats. Some of the groups will use it...Others...Others will need to 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYddFpOV1d
find their own way" she said in bitter tones. "I don't like that, we're 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdrCCSqUTZ
abandoning my people. But Gob said it's too dangerous traveling in a big634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlwutuxeti
group."634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCIJlAM3HZ
"You're a good leader on your own. You should trust your own instincts." Ah finally! An opportunity to create that rift634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGqXsl21ci
She gave him a sad smile634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgtwPe9OXz
in response. "Thank you, but I do not a good head for tactics or 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSX55aySkpq
military matters. I've had some education on it, but Gob is much better 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTpqcSgeRF
at it." David still wasn't sure just what Gob did before the rebellion. 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBDcgFmjkt
Francesca stated that the past did not matter and as long as they were 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBf5xpbf2Gi
willing to fight for the rebellions ideals they would be allowed to keep634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4B8JzcZWW4
their past in the past.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80hrZPHpqu
"Now then, back to 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhucScdGgLI
business." She said more cheerily. "Myself and Gob will be meeting that 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSb972B2bm
person in a few days. We will have guards but I'd also like for you to 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOmt4emBoZ
come. You're well-traveled and met many people; your advice would be 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOR4GMQsXmH
valuable, especially since we'll only be bartering for them."634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEdetJ0y8u
"You'll have it. I'm 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbWAKK4Q8z
more than happy to join you." While he wasn't looking forward to 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqz46mKhPJP
sleeping with all the insects again, it might help his back to not sleep634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqk21XCfc0a
on a rock hard surface.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAjcfzflNV
"Perfect! I'll let Gob know and convince him as well." She laughed sheepishly. "I didn't really confirm this with him you see."634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8RuLxiv0p
"Oh, the guy loves me. It'll be easy." Francesca smiled at that, she knew just how much Gob hated David.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQfHVTITrO
A lull in the conversation and then a question David was dreading "Did you have any more visions? From the one who chose you?"634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡej9ditEfvi
"Sadly no, I'm as 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIpFMZyJRz
clueless as when I was born." This wasn't exactly true. He knew he had 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDrtOkM8XK
to find something, and suspected Francesca was after it as well he 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacnlcIU6Ds
suspected it was on this isle. Francesca seemed to know more, but she 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkm9rIidd44
wasn't willing to reveal it. She might hide it under lofty ideals, but 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3d0oHZnf5
she was concealing the truth from both David and the rebels.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7LWgukkFT
"Do not worry, I am 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvoQYBDsRi
su..." before she could continue their whole world rocked. As explosions634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsgHHn5uR6
rang from outside and rubble started falling all around them., hitting 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14UTE4wOwc
the table and dislodging the torch, casting ominous shadows on the walls634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRFtZLOGoS
"Wha..." before David could finish his thought a very worried Gob barged in. 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY32UxiUPMX
"We're under attack, they found us."
