"I don't get it, why don't we go to a different isle? The Imperialsh will have ush shurrounded in no time."603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNaAj7jBSB

"Too many people to move, they'll notice us."603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfr568f3Mc
"Never shtopped ush before." A pause as the old man spat to the side. "What about fighting then, too little of ush?"603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ceK8NRw8i
Gob shook his head, 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtQwkK7RNO
tired. David could understand that, and he was annoyed he could 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaTPzSnEWo
empathize with Gob. As per Gob's decision every time it was David's turn603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2nBvGXEqF
to go patrolling Gob accompanied him. At first David found this 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8mf95p6wJ
insulting, he was the paragon of trust after all, but after a few of 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZal5CAnCJ
such patrols he just found it annoying. Ever patrol was usually 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqyiEWwi6r
conducted with 3 or 4 people, usually with different people. There were a603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wrmA6Bt18
few constants in those groups though, the first was that David and Gob 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8HvNlQviS
were in them and the second was that someone always asked when they 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcc2xzSHTl
would move.603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJ5lNiaxKh
Now David has only been 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCy7NY9E6T
in the camp for a month now and managed to glean some information from 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡey8Y5O0QCW
the other rebels and just observations. There were three groups of 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1rM7tEfYU
rebels. Peasants, peasant-soldiers and soldiers, as David liked to call 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlX7RjyLQsN
them. Peasants and peasant-soldiers were the people with no, to only 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHIcSqYVHy
basic, military training. Such as Denis and his ilk. The soldiers 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyvWDPDLpa
weren't necessary from the military, but they had more experience. 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBm0VGO4pu
Experience wasn't the only difference, civilians and civilian soldiers 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNrh64i2Z0
loved and trusted both Gob and Francesca. Soldiers only trusted Gob. 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjllOXfbsj
Which worked out nicely for David as he could use this discord and 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51jqJdS2ld
divided loyalties.603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2ZeP21nvN
Another important thing 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkJm6JpU6M
he managed to find out was that the rebels had stayed on the same isle 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOXoY8Udqi
for three months. Many of the rebels were unhappy with the prolonged 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAWeo9mKjc
stay, especially the soldiers. This resulted in that question and Gob 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDgq0y4Ia3
giving the same answer to anyone who asked. It was really riveting stuff603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARZdWuurAo
for David, especially after hearing it for the twentieth third time. 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9E8dBhhGC1
Ol' Stevie asked it around two or three times over the past few days to 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgm6pbvgmy
their destination.603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lh3wCLsCm
Today they were out 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8G4Zp2Wiwu
looking at the new imperial camp, turning into more of a makeshift fort,603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNd15kfRm3
being built around the wreckage of the 'Flying Fish'. It was a crude 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6uoMQ3ERx
construction, something that could be easily taken apart. They were 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHZk9aHEvK
joined by Rock and another rebel, called old toothless Stevie, on 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2wSJCqa4u
account of him being old and having lost most of his teeth. 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQyGhRPkoK
"Yes, now shut up and 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91xCXmwrlS
remember everything you can about the imperials." Stevie shrugged at 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0Su5Asq6X
that and continued looking through his binocular. David kept further 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGD7G9Wkflt
away from the pair, watching their backs with Rock, the youth did not 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aOMu14NhB
become any more talkative during Davids stay in the caves.603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxz0dUGETp3
They were at their 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQxFykvF4P
lookout spot for a few hours at this point and David was glad he didn't 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfREcBau8v
feel any magical tugs coming from that direction, after discussing it 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzl7UZNj69
with Francesca it turned out that what David felt was a magical tug, 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdQB0lQtdT
looked like the imperial soldier wasn't anywhere near it.603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiAI6aZvum
"Alright, that's enough.603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFdIp9nPV0
Let's head back." Gob proclaimed to the group and David sighted in 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMY2jsnzBcS
relief. Thankfully David was given new shoes, to help him walk, as well 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3p1NN8Bzip
as new clothes and even an eyepatch. The walk itself was silent and 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy62SuAYeIw
brutal. Gob set a murderous pace and he didn't look back to check on any603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPguohyydU
of them except for Rock, who bore it with his usual silence.603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCb1u4RBdbz
David walked in silence 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1howxy5gi
as well. More to preserve his breathe, than anything else, as he felt 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDiFGiKTYH
that he would fall to the ground if he even tried speaking. Toothless 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPspsOCiyO3
Stevie may have been old and not have teeth, but he had more stamina 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfXrwtrOob
than David, farm work really built you up for long hours of activity.603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FnWWMaqKl
A walk that would've 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHjO76m5h2
taken most of the day was managed in about half a day. David was so glad603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoQfJ1Dez3
to see the damp cave that he was ready to kiss the rocks when he came 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUl7EDLOkZ
inside. The camp itself did not change much over the past month and 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbfUEVPm5D
David was still the new guy. Though he made good strides in integrating 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWBdvEK3v6
himself as most of rebels waved to him in greeting.603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGeTNpLPBX
"I'll go report to 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHjCDG0B7t
Francesca. You can go relax." Gob passed David without a glance at him. 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hxFffaPMI
The fact that Gob didn't glare or spit at David's direction must've 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zM9Vzc4bs
meant that he was finally warming up to him! At least it was more than 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyM1Emiyyx
David got over the past month, in fact he was ready to give up on ever 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2M8LvcGiMn
winning Gob over.603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Nc3OP4rVV
Francesca on the other 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVSvUdDyuS
hand warmed up to him quite fast. As Denis summarized and David 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxS5dDnIoMp
confirmed she was a noble, a well read and knowledgeable noble but 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MvxPvKusS
someone who hasn't left her estate a lot and has never traveled outside 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCZ042ZdS3
the empire. While David was the well-traveled dashing smuggler. He 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbslTxhxAYA
managed to enthrall her with made up stories and adventures. To be fair 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCS0W9tTPCY
to Francesca she wasn't the only one falling under David's charm. As 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPy08wcjPgV
most of the rebels found it hard to resist the dashing rogue act.603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxhmOUc9eQ
David just wished he 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5OgfYgG8M
could win them over without going on patrols and risking his life. Oh 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnktcw0K0S3
well no one said being a parasite was easy.603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhEM7OoZQd
Further down the camps 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSz3jOQslJW
he could see Twitch, the nervous brother of Denis. Over the past month 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8RsqbFCvV
he integrated himself with the siblings, becoming a part of their gang. 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpDgQhYglI
As the siblings were liked by the rebels in general this made them trust603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qlDhOhn6P
David all the more. David decided to join Twitch so he snuck up behind 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliNq4LfD1h
him. 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXn719OGTS
"What'cha doing?"603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobVo6vRkoU
Twitch practically jumped out of his own skin. "Agh! Oh D-david. Don't s-scare me l-l-like that."603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyruI9wz46U
"Sorry, twitch." David said patting the boys shoulder. "Didn't mean to, you know I hate doing it." He loved it603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrSbLPtBIr
Twitch nodded and stood beside David." 'S alright. I-I-I'm just easily sca-ar-ared."603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IIuyMNgnK
David nodded. The boy 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkc0Hw9WhBb
was lucky to have any friends at all." Nothing wrong with being scared."603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZkHTSRXGO
He said with a comforting smile. "We all have our own strengths, like 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBP4xax1h8e
you..." David paused for a bit racking his mind for something to say. "A603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yYY08hnCR
poet! A man of dreams! How're your poems going anyway? I still want to 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRksshtOLCH
read them someday."603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJ80QVx1T1
Twitch muttered 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRG4MByywE
something under his breathe. David motioned with his hand for him to 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jr1lj5vMZ
speak up. "...n-not poems. But son-so-songs."603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzId1zXiGNk
David stopped himself from shrugging and smiled. "Songs, even better then! Why not create a song for the rebellion?"603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXQk5cqQTy
Twitch started shaking 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfoTqUMLRn
his head but before the words: 'No' formed on his mouth a voice 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoydEUt26X
interrupted them. "A hymn truly sounds marvelous!" Francesca made Twitch603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjPNkoAw60
jump back even more than David did603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3W4J6ZNrE
"I-I-I" He continued in that vain for a while.603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhjRo1GslB
"Speak up soldier!" Gobs603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSxX37URAQ
voice resounded around the cave, making everyone glance at Twitch, 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3kUq8HiUJ
which should've made his stuttering worse. But his fear of Gob took over603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQHNanv642
any instinct he had.603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPJNhJm0dF
"I'mnotgoodenough!" He 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdCFg5q3iA
said as fast possible. David was astounded it was probably the first 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzC04A4Foz
time the boy didn't stutter. Not that he could understand what he said 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lZM3RHWTT
now.603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSR40ZcQql
"Nonsense." Francesca 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYLpQoVckI
put her hand on Twitch's shoulder. She didn't seem to have any trouble 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfg2By4wJQS
understanding him. "Write me a song when you can, and we will sing it, 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXHNuC1Eok
all of us together." She projected her voice to others nearby which 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm51ygweDrA
raised a rugged cheer. That just made Twitch hide his face as it went 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkzPDIJaNQ
dark red.603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBCVaTe1Sn
Francesca spared Twitch 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6rv0N9qnx
one last warm smile and turned to the rest of the rebels standing 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewDHQ8RMW2
around. "It's time for your daily studies! Spread the message!" Both 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HT5yf5D1s
children and adults listened to Francesca, without a hint of 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn17K5wanCh
disobedience, and started moving in one line to the study cavern, as it 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecCAoKqOHj
was popularly called.603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BTVeqb4js
The rebels not only 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSboHX2RUd6
respected Francesca for her leadership and attitude towards the 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllMlYbZIu7
peasantry, but also her attempts to educate them. Most of the rebels 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0t5ZmuQ5dW
didn't know how to read or basic math while Francesca was an educated 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebK9hUV4AR
noble, thus she decided to teach everyone in the rebellion the basics. 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHHnw6P68I
No one was barred from the lessons and both young and old were invited 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKQHQetv9l
to them. 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcYShpgHNt
David attended one of 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIwbh58QbL
those lessons but found himself too bored to continue. They were talking603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuepj6kvAPi
about letter and numbers and some researcher named Vesputti or 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwV7g5XIt1z
something similar. Thus, he skipped over on those lessons, he wasn't the603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HEUf1vsH7
only one as most of the adults had decided that they were too old to 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkCEBm4pXu
learn anything new.603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5I68jaZdGk
Before leading her group603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IBZwuNvqF
to the secluded cavern, Francesca approached David. "I'd like if you'd 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDlEKpFKLY
dine with me tonight, if it's to your liking?"603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQBShnacTz
"Of course, I'll see you603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfhSKL6KMu
later." Francesca did that sometimes, inviting David over. Chatting 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsgAcu6GGh
about trivialities, like whether he had any more vision about The Five. 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRInnIGd3M
Thankfully Jester didn't deign to appear yet so David managed to sleep 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzENvkvi4xV
peacefully, well not accounting the strange dreams about some boy crying603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBhWU3Msx5
and calling for his mummy. Those dreams made David wake up in a foul 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAHZoWZRvw
mood, he wasn't certain why but thought it could be because he didn't 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK620dS7UiN
remember his parents or family.603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyERhWZ1XsM
Francesca, unaware of 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcU9jGNAdq
David's thoughts or dreams, nodded with a smile and led her group from 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddJoMWEGgt
the main cavern. Twitch following her and joining his sibling to whom 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOfYhcYH60
David waved. Turning around he came face to face with Nook.603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjr0XM8Bt4F
"I'm off duty now, got some guys looking for a game. You're in?"603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePxLtBQuY2
Nook was an interesting 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYaGOkhMIf
case, while he was definitely Gob's man he didn't seem to be as 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEp4opNYFZL
disciplined as the other soldiers. He was also one of the few soldiers 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFedWQutvp
who was friendly with David instead of following Gob's lead and hating 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfTpZ77SQs
his guts. So they decided to have a card game here and there while 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBf7hhMidf
inviting other people, a card game in which David lost more often than 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtOjhDKQlh
not. While David hated losing in cards it was a good method of making 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENMDBAW7d6
friends and getting to know people. As well as a guarantee to keep 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeFmXmoR5n
getting invited as long as you lost smart and graciously accepted it.603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphf2j1Td12
"Aye, why not Nook. Maybe I'll clean house this time."603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapv3Pjfr4W
Nook grinned a 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GwF3m5Lfg
predator's smile and led David towards a secluded table. While gambling 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnWTtbrM1E
wasn't banned or anything, as long as you were off duty, it was frowned 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SMywrEDFl
upon by Gob. That and most rebels having limited resources. Having only 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFufNCTrmc6
their clothes and weapons stolen from the empire or brought on their 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfAX5kYZli
backs.603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFZRNC7gDd
Thus any card games were603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3smpRoOik
just that, games to pass the time. At least until David proposed to bet603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGCWmg5Eg1
their rations. Everyone received the basic rations few times per day 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVkG8ep7DI
and it was up to them how much of that they ate. It was barely enough to603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTfGRReNbU
feed a healthy adult. As they have been on this isle for a while it was603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKTQPcvfRK
harder to find fresh animals to hunt every day. A lot of the rebels 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iHRCLflyP
were opposed to that idea as they'd loose on the last bits of food they 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMp5O3xYwq
did have.603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUGS0SbQHS
Some did think it was a 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7nNYw8z55
brilliant idea and David was sitting down with a few of them right now. 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOjYYn1rLK
Nook, he was confident in his card abilities. Apparently before joining 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWe8Bvw3sJ
the rebellion he was a militiaman in his village and gambled a lot. As 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpwP6C5vqZ
far as David could see he was more lucky than actually good. Old 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfMqCD1TR0
toothless Stevie, he joked that if he did lose his rations that it would603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBr3umOZcGC
save his last teeth. He also wasn't afraid to bet most of his rations 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QpdUH6EYH
scaring the other players into folding, a good bluffer. Finally there 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7PnlrsCbs
was Tiruk, a huge man who definitely needed more rations just to 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxFEfzzU8Y
survive. It surprised David anyone could keep that weight with tight the603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9daDSRmmh
food has been.603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeFKqRcfAR
They were the four main 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VYCG5nDBt
players who usually joined the gambling games. Sometimes others joined 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNX4dbAXH11
but they usually stopped after going hungry for a day or two as they 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStJyklDsEk
lost their rations. These four though didn't give up after losing, 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ453fI2GRXC
because they knew that their chances of a feast were just around the 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuQq1ai4Op
corner. That fact created a sense of comradeship between the players. 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlMYo7iCV5
Even if they were playing against each other they understood the risks 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoc6r8C3jN
and accepted them.603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeToQZiyc8
"''Ello boys." David 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdowJvPsiMw
said sitting down at the table with Nook. There were nods all around the603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiopqcd4JAs
table and the cards were dealt. They were playing a card game called 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sKJ2MJwXQ
match 'n go. Most of the rebels had not heard of the game or at least 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrLea9xnoT
knew it under a different name but most of them caught on fast, it was 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJxzANDJRO
often just played for fun. But the best games came from betting. As the 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoHSyaQvUi
risks went higher you tried to fool your opponent into thinking that you603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFtuRowpai
had the match or a higher card. David loved risk games like that, he 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UefTqyGpX
loved reading the other player emotions and using it against them or at 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLdLM6twLS
least for his own benefit. 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9y4Gm8Fnuc
Nook was the first to 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45MApoWAsH
play. "I'm betting half of my rations on this. Gots a good deck, that I 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9y60jMFGWh
do." David could see the plastered smile on his face. At this point 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GiBm9YH6M
David could tell fake between real in a heartbeat. Nook was bluffing.603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDT87yIINn
"Alright, I'll call that." David answered.603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCZHYZgdpe
Tiruk, in answer, just 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiYenSplMp
shook his head and folded. He wasn't risking it. Stevenson with his 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUvFIIqnA9
gaped smile called it as well and cackled a bit.603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecpcTFLFz3
Next card revealed. A 3 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMK7m9OHtn
for Davids two threes. He'd have to fold that game, too high chance of 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwcSNivq9V
winning. So it went on and on, rations were won and lost. David won a 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9iOAkHCBB
few games but then he bet everything and lost on purpose, made Stevie a 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aNruD2ydL
very happy, old, man.603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7UqeUYJQV
Since David didn't have 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJF19PnCUBk
anything to bet with anymore he made his excuses and left the table. He 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSUvAQlLK0
took a look around for Gob and didn't see him anywhere so decided it 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgB5x8tobb
would be safe to take a walk.603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdd88f5LjRA
Another thing he took to603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqj2LtpllpV
doing over the past two weeks was exploring, finding any secret spaces 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ciJASknYU
where he might hide. The rebels themselves only found one possible 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cSSNTu09w
emergency exit while David found three. Of course the other two exits 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocevJVZSfP
only were wide enough for one person to pass through at a time. So it 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRbi948M3o
could be that they just didn't consider them as such.603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7EMltj3u2
He also found various 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGt7O7B0URx
hiding spots, not only for him but for items he stole. Weapons, 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4vPXbzN5I
ammunition, food and the like. If only a small amount disappeared at a 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrq6nVnkKL
time no one really noticed and attributed it to absentmindedness. Though603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpOLN4wNmN
David believed Gob was getting suspicious so he would need to start 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFxITBzxH2
being more careful.603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLxud0E6j8
The caves themselves 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAfYp1rJi9
seemed to go through the whole isle, David didn't believe he explored 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9XtwnYhXA
even half of it. Gob tried to send a few soldiers every day to explore 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFNmZcETvO
further into the caves, but many were afraid of the dark, believing 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPMV3jEjAM
various beasts were residing in them. Refusing to go inside without Gob 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBVT4RjNZ0
and since Gob was usually busy either creating or being out on patrols 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jXH4yJRlo
himself that limited their exploring time.603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRYDyDguii
That let David offer his603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVzlGW9BDV
services as an explorer. He would explore the further caves and would 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKi5wj3u6m
report on any worrying circumstances. Gob was reluctant to let him go 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIytWtRTft5
but was convinced by Francesca that it would be a grand idea as it would603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71PENhAcGL
free more people for patrols and other duties.603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFvEejjWMC
This time though he had a603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXhjzB2RQS
destination in mind. A bit further into one of the pathways, about an 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanIGbXCJ57
hour from the main cavern, there was a small pathway where a thin person603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRSAGzXYQD
could barely fit. Following that pathway, if you could survive the 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BIFM84SMG
feeling of getting crushed by the walls, was a pool. David was surprised603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPL1RQEtb1w
when he found and astonished when he discovered the water was hot. 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4rhV8nRDg
That's where he was 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHEqLin04E
going now; he needed a clear head for Francesca's meeting. No matter how603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXTIwc4e0u
she acted she was a noble, they always sought the best deals for 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYys6XrtU3h
themselves, always trying to ledge a situation in their favour. David 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2z5ESD58xx
would need to be on his toes. Or maybe he just wanted to actually relax 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1L7UxEj7Ip
without anyone screaming or crying, he didn't decide which one sounded 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJYbFlLPAK
better in his mind.603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2GfaB2sC7
Thus grabbing a torch as603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIFnJOSKmM
many of the pathways further down weren't lit, he began his, 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbauhZNyTE
uneventful, journey. Luckily he reached his destination in a timely 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRd1YFfRis
manner, though he hated going through that cramped space. He gave a 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogEj5LRcRi
satisfied sigh as he sat down in the pool, his muscles losing the 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1lN06bDBm
tension he gathered over the past few weeks, the water reached up to his603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zAmYft7gg
chest and he dunked his head under the water finally enjoying a proper 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpVhRhyIE4
clean. He was careful to keep track of time but other than that he let 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMq2gFby42G
his mind wander and just blanked out. 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkffHf8mdx
Before he even noticed, 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡof13IqzeWZ
to David's disappointment, it was time to leave. He was also saddened by603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTKvwNi81H
the fact that the water ended up a bit darker after his bath, a way to 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu42HyDUEOD
hit a guys confidence. With a sad sigh he put on his dirty and worn out 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQpuGBjiPA
clothes and went back to the main cavern to the sound of activity and 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccNeiePSoc
the smell of unwashed masses.603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGrKy8i7KF
It did seem that David 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQye20ipWQ
came back just in time as people were gathered near the cooking pots to 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnp6DhjwcGG
gather their rations. David did the same and then found Stevie, sitting 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhl5mmMDNYm
with some other older rebels, and gave him his rations. Stevie nodded 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROzOQWOTTO
and had a sparkle in his eye. "Maybe nexsht time you can save me 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoytep1XB5l
teethsh." And he cackled at his joke. David managed a weak laugh that 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6K9EBQaPg
seemed to satisfy Stevie.603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUTpmJvBi7
"Don't keep Francesca 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtGAaRoXUZ
waiting." Came a gruff voice from behind. David tried to hide his 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVNBJzuPgj
annoyance at the fact that Gob managed to sneak up on him and scare him.603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspdIr9m1O5
Some people just had no sense of proper manners.603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZLb5BwCAV
"Oh I wouldn't dare." 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQ1bRGvlNA
He gave a mock bow which seemed to infuriate Gob more. "I was just out 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePsFi5jl7h
exploring, nothing to report so far, sir Gob." Gob just grunted and 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4dp4LO8F8
walked away. 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtTlJwOHjh
David smiled and waved 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjO4x5kJiC6
after him, the guy really needed to unwind. With nothing else to do but 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHGI59Einp
shrug at that thought David went towards Francesca's room. Even if 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWjKP0Cxa4
Francesca did pretend to be all for equality and the like she still had 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsZZj5tfa9
her personal quarters, such as they were, as well as an actual bed, 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCyEXVWqVE
table, chairs. They were shoddy work at best, crafted quickly by some of603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11khMlfXM8
the rebels, but they were more than anything any other rebel had. David603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVse3czJe7
was impressed by how she had more and yet most still perceived her as 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYk0ZYGmwVc
the paragon of virtue.603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkSitq5IKq
Her room, as per usual, 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbqeo5z6o5
was guarded. But the guard waved him on with a smile. David saw it as a 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzu8kE5V7eF
pointless precaution anyway, but what could you do. Francesca herself 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvJJJL4oFk
was already seated, with a torch in the middle of the table, a pale 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanOHp6yiW8
imitation of a candle. One thing the rebels had a lot of were torches, 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlacMtexEgP
to light up all caverns and pathways. 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rj2cGTj73
"Oh, David! Please sit" she gestured towards the second chair.603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBrdoc3g2j
David sat down with a 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvh7tUsOHGU
nod and smile. They weren't eating anything extravagant, just what the 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lO7cu32V6
rest were. Dried meat, nuts, sometimes if they were lucky they could 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmW08mGQ6ud
even get rabbit or vegetable soup, but that more of a luxury nowadays. 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6NG4moDbb
This time it was some dried meat of unknown origin and some water found 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgad2LY1w8z
in a stream. Delicious.603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHG4z6YaRr
"So pleasantries first or business first?"603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDOSl0facn
"I found that going straight to business can ruin a healthy appetite."603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0YJvvn7c9
Francesca nodded and 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZ1rs1FEmg
began to cut her meat with her wooden utensils. While David had similar 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwviQFJyv7
equipment he didn't really find much use of them and found it better to 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfaonr2BJM
eat with his own hands. Made it faster and when you're under cannon fire603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MHgLFouXO
fast eating was paramount.603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqypLQxtTmT
As expected David 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhiMAvQXj3
finished his portion first and ended up waiting for Francesca to finish 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3g6Ixps0Px
hers, which took another 5 or 10 minutes. The girl was certainly a 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvxFKBy33Q
deliberate eater.603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcfT3jBYt8
"So on to business." She603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFVbDBHTjE
paused making sure David was ready, once he nodded she continued. "Tell603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjy9AhEsYQ
me, do you know who actually hired your services?"603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YcVBwtfP5
"No idea, captain was usually tight lipped about our clients. I just always assumed it was one of you guys."603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafqNnI4IdZ
"In a way. It's someone 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEr6sf7FJ0i
who's...interested in our cause. One of Gob's friends. He is able to get603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyI4JniDCT
in and out of the isles without arousing too much suspicion."603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHfylHWKj9
"Can't imagine you can tell me who it is?"603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxJCkDC1jU
"It's not for me to tell sadly, Gob was adamant that it's best kept as secret." Francesca smiled apologetically "apologies"603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdrR80978q
David waved his hand in a playful manner. "No worries, I'm surprised you're telling me any of this in the first place."603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tRnhUvZqF
"Well, there is a 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOs8m4LRZZ
reason. Since the weapons we got previously are in the Empire's hands 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi00afqj49T
and we can't fight them for it." Putting it lightly the rebels never 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlLHpwF7DW
really fought the empire in a straight on fight. Mostly raids and 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEYgqFXxTV
recruiting villagers with their possessions. Easy pickings. "Gob got in 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhFAPDYJkB
touch with his friend again and luckily we managed to set up a meeting 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIN66QipEA
in a few days the edge of a different isle.603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡek2ZJKLilT
"We will also be moving 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VU3ThibU0
our base" she continued, sadly. "I can't keep us here with the danger 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtxZWWUqhj
increasing, so we will move slowly, to an isle we were based in before 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5C5yp68foQ
so some will know where to go."603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJucrCZ4b1p
"That's good, why did 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXbtyCa5Y9
you want to keep us here for this long anyway?" While he was annoyed at 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6Xnnq2UmW
hearing that question every time he went on patrols, he couldn't deny he603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ON2oPxnlI
was interested in the answer.603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7St6XFtDvA
"It...It has to do with one of The Five. I can't reveal more in fear that it might interfere with your objective. "603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0U9oYxSFh
David nodded, not a full603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3DJnOaizI
answer he wanted but to push might create a rift between them. Religion603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWF5GOLDzep
was pretty important to Francesca "Don't worry; you don't have to 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXFJaFvY61
reveal anything you don't want want to." He said in a soothing tone603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrUe8uU3GD
"Thank you." She said 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxW0CJQ327
gratefully. "Where was I? Oh, yes. We'll have groups with specified 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCrAPoes7c
leaders going back to that previous isle, they'll lead them and we'll 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCLozt6rK7
regroup at a specified point."603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYPkP4C2qL
"How will you get 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjSe50DWOE
everyone over to the next isle?" Isles were divided by cracks, and while603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXlqEGZqS7
some you could jump over, others were so wide you could fit a full 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wx90nzbcF
city.603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTPQvLN9zD
"We have small sky 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnuSSFDWtH
boats. Some of the groups will use it...Others...Others will need to 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPGVeyg3uR
find their own way" she said in bitter tones. "I don't like that, we're 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrs0J2fMml
abandoning my people. But Gob said it's too dangerous traveling in a big603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFHILgxkVl
group."603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcV0uc9tJ8
"You're a good leader on your own. You should trust your own instincts." Ah finally! An opportunity to create that rift603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpktaHI1Yez
She gave him a sad smile603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxQ44JvPq2
in response. "Thank you, but I do not a good head for tactics or 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XHcVqAmDH
military matters. I've had some education on it, but Gob is much better 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAiauSbnfV
at it." David still wasn't sure just what Gob did before the rebellion. 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSf6k5f7onR
Francesca stated that the past did not matter and as long as they were 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9udD6aKGX
willing to fight for the rebellions ideals they would be allowed to keep603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9t2cb9zyR
their past in the past.603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKI4MSyc89N
"Now then, back to 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXrbIZoIId
business." She said more cheerily. "Myself and Gob will be meeting that 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCcIA7aN63
person in a few days. We will have guards but I'd also like for you to 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6O1ErTiK2T
come. You're well-traveled and met many people; your advice would be 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡar0sYchRtR
valuable, especially since we'll only be bartering for them."603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOCCqlXe2k
"You'll have it. I'm 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDuu0Z75O7
more than happy to join you." While he wasn't looking forward to 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2JxofxFoW
sleeping with all the insects again, it might help his back to not sleep603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyTAGjWfIu
on a rock hard surface.603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iBJGJtD3w
"Perfect! I'll let Gob know and convince him as well." She laughed sheepishly. "I didn't really confirm this with him you see."603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFN7RCQ97k
"Oh, the guy loves me. It'll be easy." Francesca smiled at that, she knew just how much Gob hated David.603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZaYUNqgAX
A lull in the conversation and then a question David was dreading "Did you have any more visions? From the one who chose you?"603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoOuwjKiTs
"Sadly no, I'm as 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QuckIfhDM
clueless as when I was born." This wasn't exactly true. He knew he had 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAFGrM9ASy
to find something, and suspected Francesca was after it as well he 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ybcjImCnj
suspected it was on this isle. Francesca seemed to know more, but she 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoziq8USKQE
wasn't willing to reveal it. She might hide it under lofty ideals, but 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenJ5cXsjPF
she was concealing the truth from both David and the rebels.603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWevEZ3zLo6
"Do not worry, I am 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBivBUva7Di
su..." before she could continue their whole world rocked. As explosions603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡie6ZN1akRo
rang from outside and rubble started falling all around them., hitting 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqWFlPyZ5R
the table and dislodging the torch, casting ominous shadows on the walls603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDO0jUWoD3
"Wha..." before David could finish his thought a very worried Gob barged in. 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡst8R3DbdmE
"We're under attack, they found us."
