"Too many people to move, they'll notice us."620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVFM86Ylcd
"Never shtopped ush before." A pause as the old man spat to the side. "What about fighting then, too little of ush?"620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiD7uEmcgFb
Gob shook his head, 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZiAjXG9qG
tired. David could understand that, and he was annoyed he could 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rYwT1eThB
empathize with Gob. As per Gob's decision every time it was David's turn620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPLTWvoZiG
to go patrolling Gob accompanied him. At first David found this 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5MhdBCPVz
insulting, he was the paragon of trust after all, but after a few of 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6gYQ3FntP
such patrols he just found it annoying. Ever patrol was usually 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjHmPvfGBD
conducted with 3 or 4 people, usually with different people. There were a620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Fk5hJ8hQt
few constants in those groups though, the first was that David and Gob 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4Psx5UMhb
were in them and the second was that someone always asked when they 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozBwmp9DvX
would move.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlddtOERmhC
Now David has only been 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkfoltiqfX
in the camp for a month now and managed to glean some information from 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9GseQfE3c
the other rebels and just observations. There were three groups of 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZykgPKl1R
rebels. Peasants, peasant-soldiers and soldiers, as David liked to call 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmyLvZRvaQ
them. Peasants and peasant-soldiers were the people with no, to only 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkGy03I11o
basic, military training. Such as Denis and his ilk. The soldiers 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7eNfkrBSo
weren't necessary from the military, but they had more experience. 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRtiNZewrV
Experience wasn't the only difference, civilians and civilian soldiers 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQnh02uWP4
loved and trusted both Gob and Francesca. Soldiers only trusted Gob. 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyvT3I3eP2
Which worked out nicely for David as he could use this discord and 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKC53HSZtrd
divided loyalties.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKddHccKyiI
Another important thing 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEKRi106mq
he managed to find out was that the rebels had stayed on the same isle 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34bagT3ywQ
for three months. Many of the rebels were unhappy with the prolonged 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZM5BrFrQp9
stay, especially the soldiers. This resulted in that question and Gob 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNUILsMwLW
giving the same answer to anyone who asked. It was really riveting stuff620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5fXXUbv0Z
for David, especially after hearing it for the twentieth third time. 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSQcfq4LIr
Ol' Stevie asked it around two or three times over the past few days to 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREvWqFHU5d
their destination.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdBdWop5XD
Today they were out 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5K3wrNdBmg
looking at the new imperial camp, turning into more of a makeshift fort,620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeZebLaqMk
being built around the wreckage of the 'Flying Fish'. It was a crude 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbNddBT5Vm
construction, something that could be easily taken apart. They were 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohmPNkiRj4
joined by Rock and another rebel, called old toothless Stevie, on 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUbcBDbA7o
account of him being old and having lost most of his teeth. 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNXVNIisCd
"Yes, now shut up and 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVJoIO6qq2
remember everything you can about the imperials." Stevie shrugged at 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88KHq95kvx
that and continued looking through his binocular. David kept further 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGY8vHFQUdC
away from the pair, watching their backs with Rock, the youth did not 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qFrfcOORa
become any more talkative during Davids stay in the caves.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsuJcc2nUM
They were at their 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzaCNdmfGu
lookout spot for a few hours at this point and David was glad he didn't 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RSnQOqI4x
feel any magical tugs coming from that direction, after discussing it 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHadb9zmf9P
with Francesca it turned out that what David felt was a magical tug, 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsX0zu4Sj6
looked like the imperial soldier wasn't anywhere near it.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcJwyx1gmW
"Alright, that's enough.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZoge18J9C
Let's head back." Gob proclaimed to the group and David sighted in 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkf1lmIsxZQ
relief. Thankfully David was given new shoes, to help him walk, as well 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9juTXx8F4t
as new clothes and even an eyepatch. The walk itself was silent and 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPYctjg7iS
brutal. Gob set a murderous pace and he didn't look back to check on any620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzWNuiwst0
of them except for Rock, who bore it with his usual silence.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQ9v9brD40
David walked in silence 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWwcW3kiSs
as well. More to preserve his breathe, than anything else, as he felt 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjiVuW9B0o
that he would fall to the ground if he even tried speaking. Toothless 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkN33wkZaZ
Stevie may have been old and not have teeth, but he had more stamina 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYToqzytn1
than David, farm work really built you up for long hours of activity.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FSpbqS4r7
A walk that would've 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWgcRjOhKl
taken most of the day was managed in about half a day. David was so glad620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSle1VhzRZ
to see the damp cave that he was ready to kiss the rocks when he came 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9AUChfZiB
inside. The camp itself did not change much over the past month and 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MMgnFKYQz
David was still the new guy. Though he made good strides in integrating 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfE5c0DQji3
himself as most of rebels waved to him in greeting.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHKzpbkOtD
"I'll go report to 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyJgSqQFa3
Francesca. You can go relax." Gob passed David without a glance at him. 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdwVUnvuhp
The fact that Gob didn't glare or spit at David's direction must've 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9F2JApaUS
meant that he was finally warming up to him! At least it was more than 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtblK2ihlV
David got over the past month, in fact he was ready to give up on ever 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMY2eCwDsa
winning Gob over.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmi2aezJNUf
Francesca on the other 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVS4rFx0SX
hand warmed up to him quite fast. As Denis summarized and David 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUkOmpOBDw
confirmed she was a noble, a well read and knowledgeable noble but 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dItPhoPZ9
someone who hasn't left her estate a lot and has never traveled outside 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJYgPG2UFx
the empire. While David was the well-traveled dashing smuggler. He 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3ZHPx3SJT
managed to enthrall her with made up stories and adventures. To be fair 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabLp3ouYWk
to Francesca she wasn't the only one falling under David's charm. As 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMSNMnxKhV
most of the rebels found it hard to resist the dashing rogue act.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG87Yu2bPrx
David just wished he 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwORfe0JHqS
could win them over without going on patrols and risking his life. Oh 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAI7SJAv9my
well no one said being a parasite was easy.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJL2i11G0D
Further down the camps 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5tcCqIZjw
he could see Twitch, the nervous brother of Denis. Over the past month 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWgoVfDMvZ
he integrated himself with the siblings, becoming a part of their gang. 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3JGmfUHMj
As the siblings were liked by the rebels in general this made them trust620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCCQuLNz8l
David all the more. David decided to join Twitch so he snuck up behind 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatdLitcb5k
him. 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdPVTu4XnJ
"What'cha doing?"620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcVHNW8FRq
Twitch practically jumped out of his own skin. "Agh! Oh D-david. Don't s-scare me l-l-like that."620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpMSy7QdBq
"Sorry, twitch." David said patting the boys shoulder. "Didn't mean to, you know I hate doing it." He loved it620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3B0orlxvnd
Twitch nodded and stood beside David." 'S alright. I-I-I'm just easily sca-ar-ared."620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETiTL8Lajf
David nodded. The boy 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrGHdJKZvs
was lucky to have any friends at all." Nothing wrong with being scared."620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81g73atwES
He said with a comforting smile. "We all have our own strengths, like 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAPiUV6PPG
you..." David paused for a bit racking his mind for something to say. "A620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivSFgYLI41
poet! A man of dreams! How're your poems going anyway? I still want to 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFy2aCyGJXn
read them someday."620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TwXLz8KWj
Twitch muttered 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3NLOdwowH
something under his breathe. David motioned with his hand for him to 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPx1CP6uwF
speak up. "...n-not poems. But son-so-songs."620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrbQnTjM7c
David stopped himself from shrugging and smiled. "Songs, even better then! Why not create a song for the rebellion?"620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqg7Qoa1aw
Twitch started shaking 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlbyfpyZAG
his head but before the words: 'No' formed on his mouth a voice 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeuZOrUz85
interrupted them. "A hymn truly sounds marvelous!" Francesca made Twitch620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpg71TzO0Y9
jump back even more than David did620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzATUamrdPL
"I-I-I" He continued in that vain for a while.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOlLrCQLSV
"Speak up soldier!" Gobs620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzR4a0sk8Lo
voice resounded around the cave, making everyone glance at Twitch, 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NP59rVNRs
which should've made his stuttering worse. But his fear of Gob took over620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AoMarZEHe
any instinct he had.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaM7SujuRVb
"I'mnotgoodenough!" He 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGHBEYe65U
said as fast possible. David was astounded it was probably the first 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoo1V8C3tB
time the boy didn't stutter. Not that he could understand what he said 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXMDoSOuD2
now.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9CiREe4Lg
"Nonsense." Francesca 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYr5ss7rGJ
put her hand on Twitch's shoulder. She didn't seem to have any trouble 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdm0kj2RfOu
understanding him. "Write me a song when you can, and we will sing it, 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRQvPhxeRc
all of us together." She projected her voice to others nearby which 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAWounK5QI
raised a rugged cheer. That just made Twitch hide his face as it went 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpBqI5ZF5k
dark red.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4ZiEz7wJs
Francesca spared Twitch 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW44s9jzreN
one last warm smile and turned to the rest of the rebels standing 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiCBzZKkkN
around. "It's time for your daily studies! Spread the message!" Both 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKr7wrE5kd9
children and adults listened to Francesca, without a hint of 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzu7mMx3nOd
disobedience, and started moving in one line to the study cavern, as it 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjD5SoL7Dl
was popularly called.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnOp8EZPeR
The rebels not only 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2hpSWtUqs
respected Francesca for her leadership and attitude towards the 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYw2vdYMMaI
peasantry, but also her attempts to educate them. Most of the rebels 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCYBcjsfe6
didn't know how to read or basic math while Francesca was an educated 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuC58ux8XH
noble, thus she decided to teach everyone in the rebellion the basics. 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUazRuYKSVU
No one was barred from the lessons and both young and old were invited 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBH6IoKw6Ov
to them. 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVSid3j2Us
David attended one of 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsKGdOHp9l
those lessons but found himself too bored to continue. They were talking620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7FSyS9lOS
about letter and numbers and some researcher named Vesputti or 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9geKcs6lcS
something similar. Thus, he skipped over on those lessons, he wasn't the620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rcdAQiA5g
only one as most of the adults had decided that they were too old to 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmriwjmZg3Q
learn anything new.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQFdx60NX7
Before leading her group620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxqmm6qpiv
to the secluded cavern, Francesca approached David. "I'd like if you'd 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqd365nIAu0
dine with me tonight, if it's to your liking?"620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWID0CFTK5x
"Of course, I'll see you620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lhHkgiwmB
later." Francesca did that sometimes, inviting David over. Chatting 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpq77BHQ1GN
about trivialities, like whether he had any more vision about The Five. 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvSxsUyYwH
Thankfully Jester didn't deign to appear yet so David managed to sleep 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nTqxPXWR3
peacefully, well not accounting the strange dreams about some boy crying620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8e69v4Ail6
and calling for his mummy. Those dreams made David wake up in a foul 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOgOyii6eT
mood, he wasn't certain why but thought it could be because he didn't 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDq3l0yVspr
remember his parents or family.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvITqdZXSP
Francesca, unaware of 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTta5hY7Nx
David's thoughts or dreams, nodded with a smile and led her group from 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRPNA8MtK1
the main cavern. Twitch following her and joining his sibling to whom 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6oIdIfY6v
David waved. Turning around he came face to face with Nook.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjf38SyEcOW
"I'm off duty now, got some guys looking for a game. You're in?"620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmuf4D2Ti3
Nook was an interesting 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhr5QezNUaV
case, while he was definitely Gob's man he didn't seem to be as 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRb7bMPScB
disciplined as the other soldiers. He was also one of the few soldiers 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokzbXs3EVX
who was friendly with David instead of following Gob's lead and hating 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5cAVnbeR9
his guts. So they decided to have a card game here and there while 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ93QzjEJ59
inviting other people, a card game in which David lost more often than 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzxOlher7c
not. While David hated losing in cards it was a good method of making 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ307jDtXehU
friends and getting to know people. As well as a guarantee to keep 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJE0eSSiTv
getting invited as long as you lost smart and graciously accepted it.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUoLCWTI2a
"Aye, why not Nook. Maybe I'll clean house this time."620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMkH04xgh3
Nook grinned a 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ670oTESFs1
predator's smile and led David towards a secluded table. While gambling 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgtRiYgcLh
wasn't banned or anything, as long as you were off duty, it was frowned 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZbM8cUBeb
upon by Gob. That and most rebels having limited resources. Having only 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJcWNs7hKC
their clothes and weapons stolen from the empire or brought on their 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IzZHi2zA7
backs.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PMnqKo1iG
Thus any card games were620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYEVWF6K6B
just that, games to pass the time. At least until David proposed to bet620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2ISKmHURm
their rations. Everyone received the basic rations few times per day 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOOY88Ur1E
and it was up to them how much of that they ate. It was barely enough to620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQpoX5QWCF
feed a healthy adult. As they have been on this isle for a while it was620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6ZebGdFYF
harder to find fresh animals to hunt every day. A lot of the rebels 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYROeVdHeRR
were opposed to that idea as they'd loose on the last bits of food they 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAufT6VIu8
did have.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLWteFJIjl
Some did think it was a 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeXLQd0jQ9
brilliant idea and David was sitting down with a few of them right now. 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfph6LqxuL
Nook, he was confident in his card abilities. Apparently before joining 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LkRY9nI1k
the rebellion he was a militiaman in his village and gambled a lot. As 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDxGGAUYLT
far as David could see he was more lucky than actually good. Old 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnzPf2biG8
toothless Stevie, he joked that if he did lose his rations that it would620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2njxxX8o97
save his last teeth. He also wasn't afraid to bet most of his rations 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrA3M9W2qu
scaring the other players into folding, a good bluffer. Finally there 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZV7GnY0PzX
was Tiruk, a huge man who definitely needed more rations just to 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oTJZVOR1n
survive. It surprised David anyone could keep that weight with tight the620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVaFSytsKN
food has been.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrfrqeZiSd
They were the four main 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsi291Ialn
players who usually joined the gambling games. Sometimes others joined 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2EltkHYMG
but they usually stopped after going hungry for a day or two as they 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KTNNiR1vE
lost their rations. These four though didn't give up after losing, 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeSrcO93DK
because they knew that their chances of a feast were just around the 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9P8czBwNtw
corner. That fact created a sense of comradeship between the players. 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJF26YfI8C
Even if they were playing against each other they understood the risks 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8ZzQXiZKe
and accepted them.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFq4jkxOSRL
"''Ello boys." David 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynQWmpE0pJ
said sitting down at the table with Nook. There were nods all around the620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNN82hFVJ6
table and the cards were dealt. They were playing a card game called 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrQ7PIwckF
match 'n go. Most of the rebels had not heard of the game or at least 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3grCMgS2Q
knew it under a different name but most of them caught on fast, it was 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZaEgQNohJ
often just played for fun. But the best games came from betting. As the 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9dYNFLtaF
risks went higher you tried to fool your opponent into thinking that you620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf02tpNn3ug
had the match or a higher card. David loved risk games like that, he 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLZHgxtv0l
loved reading the other player emotions and using it against them or at 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgcTGfWDOZ
least for his own benefit. 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtic43vYzr4
Nook was the first to 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6DfW9I9Vp
play. "I'm betting half of my rations on this. Gots a good deck, that I 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ130f44FJkP
do." David could see the plastered smile on his face. At this point 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwkRkpoFQM
David could tell fake between real in a heartbeat. Nook was bluffing.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgPbYm3kkn
"Alright, I'll call that." David answered.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjjPYBYbYB
Tiruk, in answer, just 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLIgcEelLg
shook his head and folded. He wasn't risking it. Stevenson with his 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CDwhtRtdb
gaped smile called it as well and cackled a bit.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQTfqMDqQd
Next card revealed. A 3 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLeFzLk7yE
for Davids two threes. He'd have to fold that game, too high chance of 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPrOKPZYxK
winning. So it went on and on, rations were won and lost. David won a 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8uwjYBddT
few games but then he bet everything and lost on purpose, made Stevie a 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BGAn8RSQR
very happy, old, man.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBrykE8lLw
Since David didn't have 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqFT4k9NJr
anything to bet with anymore he made his excuses and left the table. He 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowzpRYmRva
took a look around for Gob and didn't see him anywhere so decided it 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVclszflZt8
would be safe to take a walk.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUGrbv9K6p
Another thing he took to620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GaNlbRnhf
doing over the past two weeks was exploring, finding any secret spaces 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKV08NQ2iIP
where he might hide. The rebels themselves only found one possible 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPf5KtwLFH
emergency exit while David found three. Of course the other two exits 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ReUqnjQ0m
only were wide enough for one person to pass through at a time. So it 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIY9mjD6oQe
could be that they just didn't consider them as such.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlVqzT0FbJ
He also found various 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrslHT1J2yj
hiding spots, not only for him but for items he stole. Weapons, 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLITLY4DAo
ammunition, food and the like. If only a small amount disappeared at a 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXwEBtvLgM
time no one really noticed and attributed it to absentmindedness. Though620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNcTFrkD0k
David believed Gob was getting suspicious so he would need to start 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvDuh4DASk
being more careful.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZq28MhxDMj
The caves themselves 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBMHGB3rD0
seemed to go through the whole isle, David didn't believe he explored 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Twfj1iuzu
even half of it. Gob tried to send a few soldiers every day to explore 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kCmk1OW5c
further into the caves, but many were afraid of the dark, believing 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTv58UqNhwQ
various beasts were residing in them. Refusing to go inside without Gob 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfO38kMEtUl
and since Gob was usually busy either creating or being out on patrols 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31LtepzHuR
himself that limited their exploring time.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70BUERixop
That let David offer his620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbffEAuN6v
services as an explorer. He would explore the further caves and would 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxyd1h8Kmi
report on any worrying circumstances. Gob was reluctant to let him go 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUoxWkkPsp
but was convinced by Francesca that it would be a grand idea as it would620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrijvTDVI5
free more people for patrols and other duties.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelnpOq9Zxl
This time though he had a620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysdZo3HKuj
destination in mind. A bit further into one of the pathways, about an 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAVyEZJOmm
hour from the main cavern, there was a small pathway where a thin person620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwCJDmFC8x
could barely fit. Following that pathway, if you could survive the 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKrIYos8El
feeling of getting crushed by the walls, was a pool. David was surprised620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdG5HhuZHoN
when he found and astonished when he discovered the water was hot. 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZ9bxVCY0Y
That's where he was 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7COvH4zZ9i
going now; he needed a clear head for Francesca's meeting. No matter how620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7DaXVfPAD
she acted she was a noble, they always sought the best deals for 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzsua9DDOt
themselves, always trying to ledge a situation in their favour. David 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAOr1IeltL
would need to be on his toes. Or maybe he just wanted to actually relax 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaGAmrgDXV
without anyone screaming or crying, he didn't decide which one sounded 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrTCxe69g5
better in his mind.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokEeQ3C0Fq
Thus grabbing a torch as620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYB9R7ZA4Xo
many of the pathways further down weren't lit, he began his, 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLVtJzDPDv
uneventful, journey. Luckily he reached his destination in a timely 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7HA1AteKk
manner, though he hated going through that cramped space. He gave a 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAs1Bz8JgL7
satisfied sigh as he sat down in the pool, his muscles losing the 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFCn5A78Aq
tension he gathered over the past few weeks, the water reached up to his620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATKJSWc45D
chest and he dunked his head under the water finally enjoying a proper 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mvqSRhTTG
clean. He was careful to keep track of time but other than that he let 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfVttnQgbA
his mind wander and just blanked out. 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAyE3kIndj
Before he even noticed, 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tjomn6hvs
to David's disappointment, it was time to leave. He was also saddened by620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEJeEiC4dR
the fact that the water ended up a bit darker after his bath, a way to 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaafBMw7wKW
hit a guys confidence. With a sad sigh he put on his dirty and worn out 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHSfa1ZePH
clothes and went back to the main cavern to the sound of activity and 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2djC00O22H
the smell of unwashed masses.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdpR7Bb0Nx
It did seem that David 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZxUrlNHju
came back just in time as people were gathered near the cooking pots to 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuqSA1Vo3R
gather their rations. David did the same and then found Stevie, sitting 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMmdj6KFlX
with some other older rebels, and gave him his rations. Stevie nodded 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dDCOcDQGO
and had a sparkle in his eye. "Maybe nexsht time you can save me 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1eNjHZQcs
teethsh." And he cackled at his joke. David managed a weak laugh that 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqU8GTICPb8
seemed to satisfy Stevie.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNQdi4GkFi
"Don't keep Francesca 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEON9NqtaT5
waiting." Came a gruff voice from behind. David tried to hide his 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKogEvCgZX
annoyance at the fact that Gob managed to sneak up on him and scare him.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbDOUNV4ij
Some people just had no sense of proper manners.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVy8k7Nna7Z
"Oh I wouldn't dare." 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaggmbErCE
He gave a mock bow which seemed to infuriate Gob more. "I was just out 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpz7CsnQhlw
exploring, nothing to report so far, sir Gob." Gob just grunted and 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiZtKL0yv9
walked away. 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStCbXc5jiZ
David smiled and waved 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfIqTdqPQf
after him, the guy really needed to unwind. With nothing else to do but 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxoWx4bqOp
shrug at that thought David went towards Francesca's room. Even if 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDJTYuXQlM
Francesca did pretend to be all for equality and the like she still had 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOgteZfJ77
her personal quarters, such as they were, as well as an actual bed, 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7bwL42YeK
table, chairs. They were shoddy work at best, crafted quickly by some of620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOC8y28PNi
the rebels, but they were more than anything any other rebel had. David620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKRi2OmbwQ
was impressed by how she had more and yet most still perceived her as 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1u8XuElWRt
the paragon of virtue.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBJLaITO6Q
Her room, as per usual, 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3Xgbn5ser
was guarded. But the guard waved him on with a smile. David saw it as a 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFYJQFwAQQ
pointless precaution anyway, but what could you do. Francesca herself 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oHAbCPHl4
was already seated, with a torch in the middle of the table, a pale 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKNUXtq0Eh
imitation of a candle. One thing the rebels had a lot of were torches, 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohV2Veqj4O
to light up all caverns and pathways. 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiDlK6khBs
"Oh, David! Please sit" she gestured towards the second chair.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9GgYmJWWS
David sat down with a 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sXBXYtlod
nod and smile. They weren't eating anything extravagant, just what the 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7ZJr1U6U2
rest were. Dried meat, nuts, sometimes if they were lucky they could 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8A161zceW
even get rabbit or vegetable soup, but that more of a luxury nowadays. 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99HmtSlb4I
This time it was some dried meat of unknown origin and some water found 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOC6befjL4r
in a stream. Delicious.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALkQzL0Ati
"So pleasantries first or business first?"620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQLJ7RoBzM
"I found that going straight to business can ruin a healthy appetite."620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JzPuJBF7C
Francesca nodded and 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQdLWRHfle
began to cut her meat with her wooden utensils. While David had similar 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2gSMfSb2G
equipment he didn't really find much use of them and found it better to 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzX6bOi5zF4
eat with his own hands. Made it faster and when you're under cannon fire620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGvRr37PL7
fast eating was paramount.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVpVJXBWRj
As expected David 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYEZ3YremK
finished his portion first and ended up waiting for Francesca to finish 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtEFQqp02c
hers, which took another 5 or 10 minutes. The girl was certainly a 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Yxc8aW61B
deliberate eater.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGHOWrbEjj
"So on to business." She620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFs1hjO34IT
paused making sure David was ready, once he nodded she continued. "Tell620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkAlL3eevt
me, do you know who actually hired your services?"620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHM5WJrTCLO
"No idea, captain was usually tight lipped about our clients. I just always assumed it was one of you guys."620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLx05T3wOC
"In a way. It's someone 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsRjMtTSV3
who's...interested in our cause. One of Gob's friends. He is able to get620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjSw9F6Mbf
in and out of the isles without arousing too much suspicion."620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaO5O4IcwF
"Can't imagine you can tell me who it is?"620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdT4CTSc9Ur
"It's not for me to tell sadly, Gob was adamant that it's best kept as secret." Francesca smiled apologetically "apologies"620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RigUVzXNg
David waved his hand in a playful manner. "No worries, I'm surprised you're telling me any of this in the first place."620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2A75B74xg
"Well, there is a 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbDmQTFx5m
reason. Since the weapons we got previously are in the Empire's hands 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GbIC5PX4f
and we can't fight them for it." Putting it lightly the rebels never 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBJlLcCFov
really fought the empire in a straight on fight. Mostly raids and 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEk9fRey8n
recruiting villagers with their possessions. Easy pickings. "Gob got in 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQJCtrn1l3
touch with his friend again and luckily we managed to set up a meeting 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjENVMgZYq
in a few days the edge of a different isle.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPi8dpc96I
"We will also be moving 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYJwB9K0Sh
our base" she continued, sadly. "I can't keep us here with the danger 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSXGZcHyGw
increasing, so we will move slowly, to an isle we were based in before 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gOXOp9HRh
so some will know where to go."620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kh65TX6IF
"That's good, why did 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuO9ZN43Lc
you want to keep us here for this long anyway?" While he was annoyed at 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6QpJeAzut
hearing that question every time he went on patrols, he couldn't deny he620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrubfgWrQC
was interested in the answer.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TU7nXAYSb
"It...It has to do with one of The Five. I can't reveal more in fear that it might interfere with your objective. "620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGMENIMOGU
David nodded, not a full620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pD1K2EE0g
answer he wanted but to push might create a rift between them. Religion620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lbLJrDOs1
was pretty important to Francesca "Don't worry; you don't have to 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTg0bb5qJmL
reveal anything you don't want want to." He said in a soothing tone620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAXgA144q1
"Thank you." She said 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJUzN1eb0q
gratefully. "Where was I? Oh, yes. We'll have groups with specified 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOXTyCzRdZ
leaders going back to that previous isle, they'll lead them and we'll 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZE1SiYEJX
regroup at a specified point."620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1gXfAnvg1
"How will you get 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAsXTQFjZZ
everyone over to the next isle?" Isles were divided by cracks, and while620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIuaBYK8LV
some you could jump over, others were so wide you could fit a full 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsQi4ieGAf
city.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjABLkKXUq
"We have small sky 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOLVwdn9xQ
boats. Some of the groups will use it...Others...Others will need to 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMycO98CgTr
find their own way" she said in bitter tones. "I don't like that, we're 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6ZqEUJ8pV
abandoning my people. But Gob said it's too dangerous traveling in a big620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgpZPB8vH7
group."620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOC4y6OcDR
"You're a good leader on your own. You should trust your own instincts." Ah finally! An opportunity to create that rift620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8vtZOdAqn
She gave him a sad smile620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fcCRb84ta
in response. "Thank you, but I do not a good head for tactics or 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaY5jZB6hV
military matters. I've had some education on it, but Gob is much better 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ33VaxUtmd
at it." David still wasn't sure just what Gob did before the rebellion. 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEv79YnLPzs
Francesca stated that the past did not matter and as long as they were 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MrlNU5Ryk
willing to fight for the rebellions ideals they would be allowed to keep620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhA3hLFBJQ9
their past in the past.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5Atbq5Dsd
"Now then, back to 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWODwP2NGBR
business." She said more cheerily. "Myself and Gob will be meeting that 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnyGmL3iFt
person in a few days. We will have guards but I'd also like for you to 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHTqxmfK2v
come. You're well-traveled and met many people; your advice would be 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGP91fWQf5N
valuable, especially since we'll only be bartering for them."620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AiaQfdCNX
"You'll have it. I'm 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuoZYekzsD
more than happy to join you." While he wasn't looking forward to 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbBEArUQYl
sleeping with all the insects again, it might help his back to not sleep620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANTfVdAWT2
on a rock hard surface.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5T8pPTtVqw
"Perfect! I'll let Gob know and convince him as well." She laughed sheepishly. "I didn't really confirm this with him you see."620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yoguvvWx6
"Oh, the guy loves me. It'll be easy." Francesca smiled at that, she knew just how much Gob hated David.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREapGfO3cD
A lull in the conversation and then a question David was dreading "Did you have any more visions? From the one who chose you?"620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxNE2jMPkP
"Sadly no, I'm as 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0Nboe0Yzb
clueless as when I was born." This wasn't exactly true. He knew he had 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJF8VeLA3Yo
to find something, and suspected Francesca was after it as well he 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvq81N6hNg
suspected it was on this isle. Francesca seemed to know more, but she 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHH118Lrcwb
wasn't willing to reveal it. She might hide it under lofty ideals, but 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsMUZW9uDF
she was concealing the truth from both David and the rebels.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnu4s3DBTqG
"Do not worry, I am 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMitF4Yj13
su..." before she could continue their whole world rocked. As explosions620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkIWfLP76M
rang from outside and rubble started falling all around them., hitting 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUM4QpMXlf
the table and dislodging the torch, casting ominous shadows on the walls620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUurVJroPv
"Wha..." before David could finish his thought a very worried Gob barged in. 620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTjgrSKvBW
"We're under attack, they found us."
