"I don't get it, why don't we go to a different isle? The Imperialsh will have ush shurrounded in no time."686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNBXFzgJX4

"Never shtopped ush before." A pause as the old man spat to the side. "What about fighting then, too little of ush?"686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhDolJ10d6
Gob shook his head, 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVuptqxq1D
tired. David could understand that, and he was annoyed he could 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qD90tFQqK
empathize with Gob. As per Gob's decision every time it was David's turn686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIW58DNjPJV
to go patrolling Gob accompanied him. At first David found this 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNEllwbqhC
insulting, he was the paragon of trust after all, but after a few of 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskMibnenzw
such patrols he just found it annoying. Ever patrol was usually 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdj1USRtmc3
conducted with 3 or 4 people, usually with different people. There were a686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeODvFm2YA
few constants in those groups though, the first was that David and Gob 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoQzyKQ07E
were in them and the second was that someone always asked when they 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkJrGSQS54
would move.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNieGsdqj4J
Now David has only been 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXARZn6n7Eu
in the camp for a month now and managed to glean some information from 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcCLkpNLDZ
the other rebels and just observations. There were three groups of 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpruLnB1h8c
rebels. Peasants, peasant-soldiers and soldiers, as David liked to call 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrbsfIzfsy
them. Peasants and peasant-soldiers were the people with no, to only 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KChFDp3MI
basic, military training. Such as Denis and his ilk. The soldiers 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLTylyMKqH
weren't necessary from the military, but they had more experience. 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZh0vDqVgzS
Experience wasn't the only difference, civilians and civilian soldiers 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOUnwmVoyX
loved and trusted both Gob and Francesca. Soldiers only trusted Gob. 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAXEeArB4D
Which worked out nicely for David as he could use this discord and 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6vvOZSMfx
divided loyalties.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRo1hGiU3S
Another important thing 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKH1w3hwBaN
he managed to find out was that the rebels had stayed on the same isle 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9g9uGpWxsq
for three months. Many of the rebels were unhappy with the prolonged 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYosfgA5Re
stay, especially the soldiers. This resulted in that question and Gob 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3W3eqHQenM
giving the same answer to anyone who asked. It was really riveting stuff686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqQG6qG5ih
for David, especially after hearing it for the twentieth third time. 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScTenlri9i
Ol' Stevie asked it around two or three times over the past few days to 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66Ad0ydYDV
their destination.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9folrp6T4y
Today they were out 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡci9j9QVn1r
looking at the new imperial camp, turning into more of a makeshift fort,686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9fXyYsaoX
being built around the wreckage of the 'Flying Fish'. It was a crude 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzX6N26b3z3
construction, something that could be easily taken apart. They were 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWB2zSEtjy
joined by Rock and another rebel, called old toothless Stevie, on 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0p8Qh5ZA3L
account of him being old and having lost most of his teeth. 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8AnvtrURu
"Yes, now shut up and 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQR8XGQAvX
remember everything you can about the imperials." Stevie shrugged at 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1YfFiVNnb
that and continued looking through his binocular. David kept further 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18mWxltm41
away from the pair, watching their backs with Rock, the youth did not 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Loh78csYv
become any more talkative during Davids stay in the caves.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlMDvQh0ac
They were at their 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TODUv7kS7
lookout spot for a few hours at this point and David was glad he didn't 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1EMz0H3nJ
feel any magical tugs coming from that direction, after discussing it 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKR8UOFbpf
with Francesca it turned out that what David felt was a magical tug, 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmcS0vTbxY
looked like the imperial soldier wasn't anywhere near it.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74y3X1Pyp6
"Alright, that's enough.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnx8s0pKoE
Let's head back." Gob proclaimed to the group and David sighted in 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgFfkM20Wv
relief. Thankfully David was given new shoes, to help him walk, as well 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7ECS5SHrA
as new clothes and even an eyepatch. The walk itself was silent and 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8L3H6x1W2
brutal. Gob set a murderous pace and he didn't look back to check on any686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ388ytvGXbc
of them except for Rock, who bore it with his usual silence.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8X5qcbL5W
David walked in silence 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89zerf3DQR
as well. More to preserve his breathe, than anything else, as he felt 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxCsIxOQzx
that he would fall to the ground if he even tried speaking. Toothless 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5MbijCJ5q
Stevie may have been old and not have teeth, but he had more stamina 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9CVEU7kdD
than David, farm work really built you up for long hours of activity.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8k94ErqMqe
A walk that would've 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0UVfhjcp3
taken most of the day was managed in about half a day. David was so glad686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZrGIvophc
to see the damp cave that he was ready to kiss the rocks when he came 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZS8XdsnfQy
inside. The camp itself did not change much over the past month and 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtGPVovPbJ
David was still the new guy. Though he made good strides in integrating 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysxUE3izrp
himself as most of rebels waved to him in greeting.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlneYOKG7I
"I'll go report to 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJfzgcfqHv
Francesca. You can go relax." Gob passed David without a glance at him. 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLXhZ22VyS
The fact that Gob didn't glare or spit at David's direction must've 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdZlEuFqUZ
meant that he was finally warming up to him! At least it was more than 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EiAGryJAE
David got over the past month, in fact he was ready to give up on ever 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjFXNJyydP
winning Gob over.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhr8W1TIZkT
Francesca on the other 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpc4E78iwnh
hand warmed up to him quite fast. As Denis summarized and David 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsKBTAVq7P
confirmed she was a noble, a well read and knowledgeable noble but 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6pqdExwUX
someone who hasn't left her estate a lot and has never traveled outside 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1ub5B9gJC
the empire. While David was the well-traveled dashing smuggler. He 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNGGYalvSN
managed to enthrall her with made up stories and adventures. To be fair 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0bPjkqXFt
to Francesca she wasn't the only one falling under David's charm. As 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPbGZYPfQt
most of the rebels found it hard to resist the dashing rogue act.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIQl3Ivonu
David just wished he 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzs7KG1HbM
could win them over without going on patrols and risking his life. Oh 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44JCfbmAMl
well no one said being a parasite was easy.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJohgG8Lkf
Further down the camps 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwfMBX5nse
he could see Twitch, the nervous brother of Denis. Over the past month 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZE2yl78FCJ
he integrated himself with the siblings, becoming a part of their gang. 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVu0qbum6h
As the siblings were liked by the rebels in general this made them trust686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJhhmktfKc
David all the more. David decided to join Twitch so he snuck up behind 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4127XZja2
him. 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPeRdDTBX8
"What'cha doing?"686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wZd1p8l8V
Twitch practically jumped out of his own skin. "Agh! Oh D-david. Don't s-scare me l-l-like that."686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhDqAjBciN
"Sorry, twitch." David said patting the boys shoulder. "Didn't mean to, you know I hate doing it." He loved it686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXmGfdG29f
Twitch nodded and stood beside David." 'S alright. I-I-I'm just easily sca-ar-ared."686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90Dn52C1Jy
David nodded. The boy 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfE6gcdecUu
was lucky to have any friends at all." Nothing wrong with being scared."686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBdxJdDmUR
He said with a comforting smile. "We all have our own strengths, like 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciqCHG4eoW
you..." David paused for a bit racking his mind for something to say. "A686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVaC4SvQhx
poet! A man of dreams! How're your poems going anyway? I still want to 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIcSdTh3Aa
read them someday."686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHR50SAqIDd
Twitch muttered 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzC0hiIyHhT
something under his breathe. David motioned with his hand for him to 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdNe07MrW0
speak up. "...n-not poems. But son-so-songs."686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohM6J7tnba
David stopped himself from shrugging and smiled. "Songs, even better then! Why not create a song for the rebellion?"686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxzMv9nrpR
Twitch started shaking 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGhFKcLg0n
his head but before the words: 'No' formed on his mouth a voice 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwimPTNjLZe
interrupted them. "A hymn truly sounds marvelous!" Francesca made Twitch686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BW1MSEna1
jump back even more than David did686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkQ01uOojM
"I-I-I" He continued in that vain for a while.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzczlkeJc4
"Speak up soldier!" Gobs686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyhiWIFWBk
voice resounded around the cave, making everyone glance at Twitch, 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiEJhQaWmh
which should've made his stuttering worse. But his fear of Gob took over686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmpsqimAXg
any instinct he had.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgc2sFQDDac
"I'mnotgoodenough!" He 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhY2I7oIMCi
said as fast possible. David was astounded it was probably the first 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiB2sno1u0
time the boy didn't stutter. Not that he could understand what he said 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqswa9Soab
now.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELEHt02n8r
"Nonsense." Francesca 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUV95RWysHz
put her hand on Twitch's shoulder. She didn't seem to have any trouble 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVK0hqhzQx
understanding him. "Write me a song when you can, and we will sing it, 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RkYfsdjeG
all of us together." She projected her voice to others nearby which 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtYZ3i6ihb
raised a rugged cheer. That just made Twitch hide his face as it went 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKc5dehPUo
dark red.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHdpSSONr5
Francesca spared Twitch 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJw1UQBcvF3
one last warm smile and turned to the rest of the rebels standing 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86bED7UvyA
around. "It's time for your daily studies! Spread the message!" Both 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRQMMOB0ID
children and adults listened to Francesca, without a hint of 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJiRP4KNpr
disobedience, and started moving in one line to the study cavern, as it 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLxXFvpila
was popularly called.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJ4S6oMkiY
The rebels not only 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKTdqUGyyt
respected Francesca for her leadership and attitude towards the 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Kf2MBkCOc
peasantry, but also her attempts to educate them. Most of the rebels 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vVoXu4St7
didn't know how to read or basic math while Francesca was an educated 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQwaEYpMJU
noble, thus she decided to teach everyone in the rebellion the basics. 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjX7lEScZy
No one was barred from the lessons and both young and old were invited 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTjlmRJZWT
to them. 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPhMVgsYK3
David attended one of 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqmeLXx8RW
those lessons but found himself too bored to continue. They were talking686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkXjkqj5gY
about letter and numbers and some researcher named Vesputti or 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygG2d6OQes
something similar. Thus, he skipped over on those lessons, he wasn't the686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SZQ1aoth7
only one as most of the adults had decided that they were too old to 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVUem6TRMl
learn anything new.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2PgcZ2jBr
Before leading her group686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19KGTNDHiF
to the secluded cavern, Francesca approached David. "I'd like if you'd 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59QLrKBK0Z
dine with me tonight, if it's to your liking?"686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecEZ1yheya
"Of course, I'll see you686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfv37VqiUZT
later." Francesca did that sometimes, inviting David over. Chatting 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAs9cDraWfE
about trivialities, like whether he had any more vision about The Five. 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHb8zQ9oq9w
Thankfully Jester didn't deign to appear yet so David managed to sleep 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAcq33AkSb
peacefully, well not accounting the strange dreams about some boy crying686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpGCo3oVH4
and calling for his mummy. Those dreams made David wake up in a foul 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjSKfkv1dq
mood, he wasn't certain why but thought it could be because he didn't 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47kISegdfq
remember his parents or family.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmR5V1Xm4v
Francesca, unaware of 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeC4rkdM36
David's thoughts or dreams, nodded with a smile and led her group from 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcelMXDRwW
the main cavern. Twitch following her and joining his sibling to whom 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxd9eLCDhO
David waved. Turning around he came face to face with Nook.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEggZUjtOx
"I'm off duty now, got some guys looking for a game. You're in?"686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpdONVnnRp
Nook was an interesting 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGIeOQvbxY
case, while he was definitely Gob's man he didn't seem to be as 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IvqMetTOW
disciplined as the other soldiers. He was also one of the few soldiers 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gFTG3rVgH
who was friendly with David instead of following Gob's lead and hating 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ACk5i3Ggm
his guts. So they decided to have a card game here and there while 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDP27fpNIq
inviting other people, a card game in which David lost more often than 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKyWeorB3s
not. While David hated losing in cards it was a good method of making 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iCvP5p2Kg
friends and getting to know people. As well as a guarantee to keep 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtpdwq6EX4
getting invited as long as you lost smart and graciously accepted it.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mjfBwUu1p
"Aye, why not Nook. Maybe I'll clean house this time."686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLs71BgCn1i
Nook grinned a 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWBan9aBjn
predator's smile and led David towards a secluded table. While gambling 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhKfHbrg06
wasn't banned or anything, as long as you were off duty, it was frowned 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLKQvM7vBX
upon by Gob. That and most rebels having limited resources. Having only 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdNjkcScvd
their clothes and weapons stolen from the empire or brought on their 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgVvGfqXkI
backs.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAZvqrVhrq
Thus any card games were686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKR5yBznVha
just that, games to pass the time. At least until David proposed to bet686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf32KuumB3i
their rations. Everyone received the basic rations few times per day 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqvVs7XiBH
and it was up to them how much of that they ate. It was barely enough to686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbfCTKE8nE
feed a healthy adult. As they have been on this isle for a while it was686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuzdQLCBNP
harder to find fresh animals to hunt every day. A lot of the rebels 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqH1ykBLYnR
were opposed to that idea as they'd loose on the last bits of food they 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOjWaJKu07
did have.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12DWvZXTlJ
Some did think it was a 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxsHmsk3nM
brilliant idea and David was sitting down with a few of them right now. 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmX4bSE66i
Nook, he was confident in his card abilities. Apparently before joining 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0095bExJ0
the rebellion he was a militiaman in his village and gambled a lot. As 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJ1Kylz1wi
far as David could see he was more lucky than actually good. Old 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtjIZ3pyMh
toothless Stevie, he joked that if he did lose his rations that it would686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92imljQh53
save his last teeth. He also wasn't afraid to bet most of his rations 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAvI4Jmo3n
scaring the other players into folding, a good bluffer. Finally there 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJdubXR5NY
was Tiruk, a huge man who definitely needed more rations just to 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQD6e0knoz
survive. It surprised David anyone could keep that weight with tight the686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxQ3DQuHsn
food has been.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygMiEA3Tq8
They were the four main 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbbhDfCosO
players who usually joined the gambling games. Sometimes others joined 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoVHdrURVw
but they usually stopped after going hungry for a day or two as they 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbc3j0zfzz
lost their rations. These four though didn't give up after losing, 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFEkhWdqY9
because they knew that their chances of a feast were just around the 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqTxkJU40h
corner. That fact created a sense of comradeship between the players. 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0to4ar7Oe
Even if they were playing against each other they understood the risks 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lAFueBK8l
and accepted them.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqjVXDAJUK
"''Ello boys." David 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd01C3vDCYR
said sitting down at the table with Nook. There were nods all around the686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2F6uWcJRC
table and the cards were dealt. They were playing a card game called 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOirUw7GSyM
match 'n go. Most of the rebels had not heard of the game or at least 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78RF3SYMVz
knew it under a different name but most of them caught on fast, it was 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqQRMYmkEf
often just played for fun. But the best games came from betting. As the 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZr6IdmK9Vq
risks went higher you tried to fool your opponent into thinking that you686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucJOlcc0uL
had the match or a higher card. David loved risk games like that, he 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9Kh2HHLsx
loved reading the other player emotions and using it against them or at 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDRJ7Pv9aU
least for his own benefit. 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqY5MXKhKCC
Nook was the first to 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ftxLEHdrR
play. "I'm betting half of my rations on this. Gots a good deck, that I 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRmUSzIT47
do." David could see the plastered smile on his face. At this point 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxvgdrw5OD
David could tell fake between real in a heartbeat. Nook was bluffing.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYvETTEB3L
"Alright, I'll call that." David answered.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsL3fcZwOIq
Tiruk, in answer, just 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtscqsaXXGJ
shook his head and folded. He wasn't risking it. Stevenson with his 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhN4ONUdKUW
gaped smile called it as well and cackled a bit.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6th3ZgcBYn
Next card revealed. A 3 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBYzi7OLUo
for Davids two threes. He'd have to fold that game, too high chance of 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgLrfrgwRP
winning. So it went on and on, rations were won and lost. David won a 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzuvq1I1BM
few games but then he bet everything and lost on purpose, made Stevie a 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJq0Lmi0MUO
very happy, old, man.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9CWiCfdgt
Since David didn't have 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4mI4yCrPX
anything to bet with anymore he made his excuses and left the table. He 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbOtdW2tgm
took a look around for Gob and didn't see him anywhere so decided it 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoeVE4fQNQ
would be safe to take a walk.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4AkoQftIh
Another thing he took to686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LsCtdaFQ7
doing over the past two weeks was exploring, finding any secret spaces 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvI6bhLnLzj
where he might hide. The rebels themselves only found one possible 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpi4mOqldp
emergency exit while David found three. Of course the other two exits 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaHvN6Kvor
only were wide enough for one person to pass through at a time. So it 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAzswF4EQt
could be that they just didn't consider them as such.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oAtTI1o9s
He also found various 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMOyxFchoP
hiding spots, not only for him but for items he stole. Weapons, 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKeDmyVcQH
ammunition, food and the like. If only a small amount disappeared at a 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEzLvL0jmc
time no one really noticed and attributed it to absentmindedness. Though686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjxo1mBWor
David believed Gob was getting suspicious so he would need to start 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8XOt3Ws7u
being more careful.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrMyZOCBO8
The caves themselves 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PJUEoOont
seemed to go through the whole isle, David didn't believe he explored 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4O7x1v8yQn
even half of it. Gob tried to send a few soldiers every day to explore 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70swRzYWgW
further into the caves, but many were afraid of the dark, believing 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbq0xamcDi
various beasts were residing in them. Refusing to go inside without Gob 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLKQNFVTbw
and since Gob was usually busy either creating or being out on patrols 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1MFgdMted
himself that limited their exploring time.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqGIYNvjA1
That let David offer his686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY14DXV80HX
services as an explorer. He would explore the further caves and would 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQMsrd0clj
report on any worrying circumstances. Gob was reluctant to let him go 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9DctmYubR
but was convinced by Francesca that it would be a grand idea as it would686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvxa0pyJGd
free more people for patrols and other duties.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqrRS6UkIa
This time though he had a686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbsH5T7eVz
destination in mind. A bit further into one of the pathways, about an 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRSJlyGRHi
hour from the main cavern, there was a small pathway where a thin person686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCn7L2feZr9
could barely fit. Following that pathway, if you could survive the 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNJVn211Wp
feeling of getting crushed by the walls, was a pool. David was surprised686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQZsGZenre
when he found and astonished when he discovered the water was hot. 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FsNTkobYa
That's where he was 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhPpsNh34V
going now; he needed a clear head for Francesca's meeting. No matter how686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUQVIKafTa
she acted she was a noble, they always sought the best deals for 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMtje79CXe
themselves, always trying to ledge a situation in their favour. David 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5odFspeaM
would need to be on his toes. Or maybe he just wanted to actually relax 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGM22YcZY09
without anyone screaming or crying, he didn't decide which one sounded 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLqi9r403I
better in his mind.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwGyjLBIRf
Thus grabbing a torch as686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XY27pz1gr
many of the pathways further down weren't lit, he began his, 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DBAcF6NyJ
uneventful, journey. Luckily he reached his destination in a timely 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeuT1pnUJr
manner, though he hated going through that cramped space. He gave a 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnYudI5ItY
satisfied sigh as he sat down in the pool, his muscles losing the 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomUiCg2128
tension he gathered over the past few weeks, the water reached up to his686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2EdFJBmio
chest and he dunked his head under the water finally enjoying a proper 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0wISO4OvN
clean. He was careful to keep track of time but other than that he let 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxobDemBpJ
his mind wander and just blanked out. 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGumSIYM9EK
Before he even noticed, 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1mI0ynDNx
to David's disappointment, it was time to leave. He was also saddened by686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2iAQLG03H
the fact that the water ended up a bit darker after his bath, a way to 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv40SAq5sog
hit a guys confidence. With a sad sigh he put on his dirty and worn out 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIKYCAfrNI
clothes and went back to the main cavern to the sound of activity and 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIDS59YkZ9
the smell of unwashed masses.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbAdB2POQF
It did seem that David 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLGkld2EYw
came back just in time as people were gathered near the cooking pots to 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHDd4qQeOh
gather their rations. David did the same and then found Stevie, sitting 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6FdCp1OTS
with some other older rebels, and gave him his rations. Stevie nodded 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kWPB2qySU
and had a sparkle in his eye. "Maybe nexsht time you can save me 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CFn9HsrNO
teethsh." And he cackled at his joke. David managed a weak laugh that 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIzYFGkiCn
seemed to satisfy Stevie.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmJRaf9xpp
"Don't keep Francesca 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9tc5oicDs
waiting." Came a gruff voice from behind. David tried to hide his 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBI1miIM3wj
annoyance at the fact that Gob managed to sneak up on him and scare him.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jZSMjNPmN
Some people just had no sense of proper manners.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbglfBQoNc
"Oh I wouldn't dare." 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3Y3CYbHFS
He gave a mock bow which seemed to infuriate Gob more. "I was just out 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6LT8vMG99
exploring, nothing to report so far, sir Gob." Gob just grunted and 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BH6ukPzgG
walked away. 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydxQxw8Rp2
David smiled and waved 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2YV4M9OXq
after him, the guy really needed to unwind. With nothing else to do but 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8h6jhGw2I
shrug at that thought David went towards Francesca's room. Even if 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwgKZnc8qe
Francesca did pretend to be all for equality and the like she still had 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7H5s6Lj2a
her personal quarters, such as they were, as well as an actual bed, 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFCfvGug6P
table, chairs. They were shoddy work at best, crafted quickly by some of686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbGmZx92jL
the rebels, but they were more than anything any other rebel had. David686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmh9Sy0ndnj
was impressed by how she had more and yet most still perceived her as 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFofxJk5uP
the paragon of virtue.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7dxcPs6HJ
Her room, as per usual, 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKziRnsEWCo
was guarded. But the guard waved him on with a smile. David saw it as a 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnfLKUeX6c
pointless precaution anyway, but what could you do. Francesca herself 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRM5DP6X4Xk
was already seated, with a torch in the middle of the table, a pale 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBDjR16lhi
imitation of a candle. One thing the rebels had a lot of were torches, 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ873OCQpaWX
to light up all caverns and pathways. 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKui8752VTh
"Oh, David! Please sit" she gestured towards the second chair.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1l3G2D2RXd
David sat down with a 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZGPdp6UWU
nod and smile. They weren't eating anything extravagant, just what the 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGdk7gpJl8
rest were. Dried meat, nuts, sometimes if they were lucky they could 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡud17Yo4icP
even get rabbit or vegetable soup, but that more of a luxury nowadays. 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9B2zFHvQe
This time it was some dried meat of unknown origin and some water found 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkDC31DYjS
in a stream. Delicious.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCOhM6HXgi
"So pleasantries first or business first?"686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICaslvLKMe
"I found that going straight to business can ruin a healthy appetite."686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJrAVHKw4K
Francesca nodded and 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfCKPUk3S9
began to cut her meat with her wooden utensils. While David had similar 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlikG9hW7CY
equipment he didn't really find much use of them and found it better to 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNa25XawiSO
eat with his own hands. Made it faster and when you're under cannon fire686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAAEl5JtxZ
fast eating was paramount.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpxXjmsGLk
As expected David 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuT1ymA15JS
finished his portion first and ended up waiting for Francesca to finish 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IhULhbgn0
hers, which took another 5 or 10 minutes. The girl was certainly a 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xqSY8VIbg
deliberate eater.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoioQkU8egc
"So on to business." She686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUqpzKLc6m
paused making sure David was ready, once he nodded she continued. "Tell686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaUwmaQLjY
me, do you know who actually hired your services?"686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuy1DmQOOZd
"No idea, captain was usually tight lipped about our clients. I just always assumed it was one of you guys."686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccQ8GehGsr
"In a way. It's someone 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMXjGS5spX
who's...interested in our cause. One of Gob's friends. He is able to get686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHIAUBYzpy
in and out of the isles without arousing too much suspicion."686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zAfKutgzk
"Can't imagine you can tell me who it is?"686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXyIk4iWLH
"It's not for me to tell sadly, Gob was adamant that it's best kept as secret." Francesca smiled apologetically "apologies"686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMTo8VbgS1
David waved his hand in a playful manner. "No worries, I'm surprised you're telling me any of this in the first place."686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY15jmXSIlv
"Well, there is a 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5sVbbB9Ov
reason. Since the weapons we got previously are in the Empire's hands 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVSNvOKElM
and we can't fight them for it." Putting it lightly the rebels never 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0xpQxEGfh
really fought the empire in a straight on fight. Mostly raids and 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzsMBt3deH
recruiting villagers with their possessions. Easy pickings. "Gob got in 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfdCsC1GcO
touch with his friend again and luckily we managed to set up a meeting 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WPtz1CYqL
in a few days the edge of a different isle.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhg2V1i2Fz3
"We will also be moving 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0LZYrPo5u
our base" she continued, sadly. "I can't keep us here with the danger 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzWSufZST7
increasing, so we will move slowly, to an isle we were based in before 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlsppPxdiL
so some will know where to go."686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYKRe2FCvm
"That's good, why did 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27Sxjmtydi
you want to keep us here for this long anyway?" While he was annoyed at 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYCI3168CI
hearing that question every time he went on patrols, he couldn't deny he686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPEnOk05Mo
was interested in the answer.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOo1bFquyD
"It...It has to do with one of The Five. I can't reveal more in fear that it might interfere with your objective. "686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtsn5zBzPJ
David nodded, not a full686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxK9ue3vicT
answer he wanted but to push might create a rift between them. Religion686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ym1HgXOMV
was pretty important to Francesca "Don't worry; you don't have to 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD33K2MHb0F
reveal anything you don't want want to." He said in a soothing tone686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEt9MlH5BBS
"Thank you." She said 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBZS6tB9q8
gratefully. "Where was I? Oh, yes. We'll have groups with specified 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQ1TnGtBui
leaders going back to that previous isle, they'll lead them and we'll 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLC7RGaEmn
regroup at a specified point."686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7Obguaagc
"How will you get 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8DHdStKAM
everyone over to the next isle?" Isles were divided by cracks, and while686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfbqrGRamx
some you could jump over, others were so wide you could fit a full 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxxSd7OR9S
city.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaZfBMyga9
"We have small sky 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqp39hfXlb
boats. Some of the groups will use it...Others...Others will need to 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqN8Js041V
find their own way" she said in bitter tones. "I don't like that, we're 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyUIqwJLG8
abandoning my people. But Gob said it's too dangerous traveling in a big686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MzAzNwkAv
group."686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHuPZXTRE6
"You're a good leader on your own. You should trust your own instincts." Ah finally! An opportunity to create that rift686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6lKBhPmVs
She gave him a sad smile686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6LhTCgDE7
in response. "Thank you, but I do not a good head for tactics or 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwOKhatlxo
military matters. I've had some education on it, but Gob is much better 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7H132t2FD
at it." David still wasn't sure just what Gob did before the rebellion. 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeYUKRhSFQ
Francesca stated that the past did not matter and as long as they were 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6QlpEbJye
willing to fight for the rebellions ideals they would be allowed to keep686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdfPSCyIrj
their past in the past.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RYSHrIkQv
"Now then, back to 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5TVvBNydE
business." She said more cheerily. "Myself and Gob will be meeting that 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGc5SCktCYw
person in a few days. We will have guards but I'd also like for you to 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJoeSJ8Vyg
come. You're well-traveled and met many people; your advice would be 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQKKOIpKwc
valuable, especially since we'll only be bartering for them."686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdB77PCXTg
"You'll have it. I'm 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqffWolXVyx
more than happy to join you." While he wasn't looking forward to 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidCisMl1qV
sleeping with all the insects again, it might help his back to not sleep686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PWWTAEI4O
on a rock hard surface.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpxqFslkav
"Perfect! I'll let Gob know and convince him as well." She laughed sheepishly. "I didn't really confirm this with him you see."686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82rbbM00rx
"Oh, the guy loves me. It'll be easy." Francesca smiled at that, she knew just how much Gob hated David.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWgGGTCxDu
A lull in the conversation and then a question David was dreading "Did you have any more visions? From the one who chose you?"686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0XPsNvdKC
"Sadly no, I'm as 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuqOVcnZjD
clueless as when I was born." This wasn't exactly true. He knew he had 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLukiKSZdj
to find something, and suspected Francesca was after it as well he 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYOulyAMAs
suspected it was on this isle. Francesca seemed to know more, but she 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NMz3zsLmh
wasn't willing to reveal it. She might hide it under lofty ideals, but 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsalANeP6z
she was concealing the truth from both David and the rebels.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7tSg6v7dl
"Do not worry, I am 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvWAwct0PD
su..." before she could continue their whole world rocked. As explosions686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5htn6JUNm
rang from outside and rubble started falling all around them., hitting 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKDqRNK55f
the table and dislodging the torch, casting ominous shadows on the walls686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8tj6Zz4SC
"Wha..." before David could finish his thought a very worried Gob barged in. 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPAHmNWCG1
"We're under attack, they found us."
