"I don't get it, why don't we go to a different isle? The Imperialsh will have ush shurrounded in no time."687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUjhFl744G

"Too many people to move, they'll notice us."687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9irkktSJEg
"Never shtopped ush before." A pause as the old man spat to the side. "What about fighting then, too little of ush?"687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2c6T9m21jp
Gob shook his head, 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0f2IClD7q
tired. David could understand that, and he was annoyed he could 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSY4KAg7kgh
empathize with Gob. As per Gob's decision every time it was David's turn687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡch8nu1VLyG
to go patrolling Gob accompanied him. At first David found this 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3pl9tASwW
insulting, he was the paragon of trust after all, but after a few of 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gWzIaCFlg
such patrols he just found it annoying. Ever patrol was usually 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBZBpquAgH
conducted with 3 or 4 people, usually with different people. There were a687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLEHMBRsXx
few constants in those groups though, the first was that David and Gob 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQPpXTwVyZ
were in them and the second was that someone always asked when they 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmPZOxCcuG
would move.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlN3sQZSEwD
Now David has only been 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iZLnRDvz1
in the camp for a month now and managed to glean some information from 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLXcQNZs26
the other rebels and just observations. There were three groups of 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wUOvxJ9zM
rebels. Peasants, peasant-soldiers and soldiers, as David liked to call 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99HvwDva0S
them. Peasants and peasant-soldiers were the people with no, to only 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRZqMVfM4l
basic, military training. Such as Denis and his ilk. The soldiers 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uxQMp79E1
weren't necessary from the military, but they had more experience. 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15ZdR5CdKF
Experience wasn't the only difference, civilians and civilian soldiers 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5VBbXYM6x
loved and trusted both Gob and Francesca. Soldiers only trusted Gob. 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTUcdsn38i
Which worked out nicely for David as he could use this discord and 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0Y2eOlCpG
divided loyalties.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPqAjyAJDh
Another important thing 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTpoMdTWYD
he managed to find out was that the rebels had stayed on the same isle 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1FT6nPB8S
for three months. Many of the rebels were unhappy with the prolonged 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31Rk0mM4QW
stay, especially the soldiers. This resulted in that question and Gob 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtGHPS8fbD
giving the same answer to anyone who asked. It was really riveting stuff687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIVdZDX2PQ
for David, especially after hearing it for the twentieth third time. 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcqAGW5Ujq
Ol' Stevie asked it around two or three times over the past few days to 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iIrSRKSIc
their destination.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoiPSZZ2ys
Today they were out 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEiZ6NW4Nw
looking at the new imperial camp, turning into more of a makeshift fort,687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPIAqFg671
being built around the wreckage of the 'Flying Fish'. It was a crude 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgjQuESYQk
construction, something that could be easily taken apart. They were 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrbMrVxbcM
joined by Rock and another rebel, called old toothless Stevie, on 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GtvWboUL5
account of him being old and having lost most of his teeth. 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9GeNFBxuN
"Yes, now shut up and 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOqxNpPqNS
remember everything you can about the imperials." Stevie shrugged at 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTB8o3grYqN
that and continued looking through his binocular. David kept further 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypD3BnlrsZ
away from the pair, watching their backs with Rock, the youth did not 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbm3ZaL27L
become any more talkative during Davids stay in the caves.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGhhF1PLAW
They were at their 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vX8MUAYqs
lookout spot for a few hours at this point and David was glad he didn't 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNVVc3j2Fy
feel any magical tugs coming from that direction, after discussing it 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBbo3fCw8T
with Francesca it turned out that what David felt was a magical tug, 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZ5vfQmn1a
looked like the imperial soldier wasn't anywhere near it.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN74GRWPJsc
"Alright, that's enough.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz11CLaG9Wg
Let's head back." Gob proclaimed to the group and David sighted in 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAF00iexgUl
relief. Thankfully David was given new shoes, to help him walk, as well 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl22Sac8PWQ
as new clothes and even an eyepatch. The walk itself was silent and 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72kvUrNgt9
brutal. Gob set a murderous pace and he didn't look back to check on any687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEeAZ2Ti2l
of them except for Rock, who bore it with his usual silence.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILJZa8g3WO
David walked in silence 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kNWsrOgVd
as well. More to preserve his breathe, than anything else, as he felt 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBrAMKhNao
that he would fall to the ground if he even tried speaking. Toothless 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcMUH9t3PB
Stevie may have been old and not have teeth, but he had more stamina 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qc5vflDLF
than David, farm work really built you up for long hours of activity.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oLYTNXtFV
A walk that would've 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9a0GpibTHe
taken most of the day was managed in about half a day. David was so glad687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuZozeM1jN
to see the damp cave that he was ready to kiss the rocks when he came 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhg3HuPomCt
inside. The camp itself did not change much over the past month and 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBcPjf8tTX
David was still the new guy. Though he made good strides in integrating 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMkHaUdoep
himself as most of rebels waved to him in greeting.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wDGq9jZcZ
"I'll go report to 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4rtpeXmsO
Francesca. You can go relax." Gob passed David without a glance at him. 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcaXQf1FdE
The fact that Gob didn't glare or spit at David's direction must've 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg31j6pgpmb
meant that he was finally warming up to him! At least it was more than 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXUwgA3iOq
David got over the past month, in fact he was ready to give up on ever 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfA7z2zbIis
winning Gob over.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBc0hju7clE
Francesca on the other 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYSzQu7F9w
hand warmed up to him quite fast. As Denis summarized and David 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJhf9cyezK
confirmed she was a noble, a well read and knowledgeable noble but 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZ087P2KLY
someone who hasn't left her estate a lot and has never traveled outside 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCpswYGLr0
the empire. While David was the well-traveled dashing smuggler. He 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTopf69VHm3
managed to enthrall her with made up stories and adventures. To be fair 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDhMezmQxb
to Francesca she wasn't the only one falling under David's charm. As 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jM1q8ahI0
most of the rebels found it hard to resist the dashing rogue act.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2UHCwTra8
David just wished he 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx40y2KXVqg
could win them over without going on patrols and risking his life. Oh 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5VyTx0L3q
well no one said being a parasite was easy.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfQmPM7mug
Further down the camps 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsGY5PFVhB
he could see Twitch, the nervous brother of Denis. Over the past month 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkNgVaT8Y1
he integrated himself with the siblings, becoming a part of their gang. 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsY22lNcTq
As the siblings were liked by the rebels in general this made them trust687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuesLau7e8v
David all the more. David decided to join Twitch so he snuck up behind 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0sivCw65k
him. 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5MylaSVTi
"What'cha doing?"687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYa59T0WdH
Twitch practically jumped out of his own skin. "Agh! Oh D-david. Don't s-scare me l-l-like that."687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kTs6rxOqu
"Sorry, twitch." David said patting the boys shoulder. "Didn't mean to, you know I hate doing it." He loved it687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQJa7nbCmV
Twitch nodded and stood beside David." 'S alright. I-I-I'm just easily sca-ar-ared."687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaycMHZeNe
David nodded. The boy 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHvDhObK0F
was lucky to have any friends at all." Nothing wrong with being scared."687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNqkISxWZl
He said with a comforting smile. "We all have our own strengths, like 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0iPgJUNSn
you..." David paused for a bit racking his mind for something to say. "A687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4GKxI1lVX
poet! A man of dreams! How're your poems going anyway? I still want to 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XMJoloEob
read them someday."687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTyNqsNv28
Twitch muttered 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeAeXWdjYM
something under his breathe. David motioned with his hand for him to 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWh5y3sL2Tz
speak up. "...n-not poems. But son-so-songs."687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxM1eLfC3GQ
David stopped himself from shrugging and smiled. "Songs, even better then! Why not create a song for the rebellion?"687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wEqSySBWs
Twitch started shaking 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVh9Z8b7sxG
his head but before the words: 'No' formed on his mouth a voice 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rESDa6eF0
interrupted them. "A hymn truly sounds marvelous!" Francesca made Twitch687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2btEXKqBmk
jump back even more than David did687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHnZofmWen
"I-I-I" He continued in that vain for a while.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHOjLKgZtn
"Speak up soldier!" Gobs687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfvYgtmKPa
voice resounded around the cave, making everyone glance at Twitch, 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxnjeFsA2N
which should've made his stuttering worse. But his fear of Gob took over687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6pB8MAZMv
any instinct he had.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFchFia7T0S
"I'mnotgoodenough!" He 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJ7ophBgQL
said as fast possible. David was astounded it was probably the first 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKPrhlsVNB
time the boy didn't stutter. Not that he could understand what he said 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKXgcdal8b
now.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5buWwZe5u
"Nonsense." Francesca 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGSqESSN0M
put her hand on Twitch's shoulder. She didn't seem to have any trouble 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmRIQdAfdy
understanding him. "Write me a song when you can, and we will sing it, 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gqwLchr4T
all of us together." She projected her voice to others nearby which 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGItlW4d7z
raised a rugged cheer. That just made Twitch hide his face as it went 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyj1ed5mSF6
dark red.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkK43nHXB5A
Francesca spared Twitch 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cm7GLp0yJ
one last warm smile and turned to the rest of the rebels standing 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWik0G0MWDI
around. "It's time for your daily studies! Spread the message!" Both 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CLWbybkBP
children and adults listened to Francesca, without a hint of 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQxKMuSpCt
disobedience, and started moving in one line to the study cavern, as it 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwHpIhY5j8
was popularly called.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84uJiBacvM
The rebels not only 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrV3TjpcHh
respected Francesca for her leadership and attitude towards the 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kPyRXinmf
peasantry, but also her attempts to educate them. Most of the rebels 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxnbNb5gYz
didn't know how to read or basic math while Francesca was an educated 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJUiNBQSEy
noble, thus she decided to teach everyone in the rebellion the basics. 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8OXSB6s7M
No one was barred from the lessons and both young and old were invited 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeiJdp624E
to them. 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSED6QM5yuZ
David attended one of 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwd3Twai40
those lessons but found himself too bored to continue. They were talking687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZk2AdN3nz
about letter and numbers and some researcher named Vesputti or 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRk9wNTD73w
something similar. Thus, he skipped over on those lessons, he wasn't the687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HcXLnmK9v
only one as most of the adults had decided that they were too old to 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1svzE2y0x
learn anything new.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UajmkC8bI
Before leading her group687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECcGCWHKkQ
to the secluded cavern, Francesca approached David. "I'd like if you'd 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovMVYnY8Df
dine with me tonight, if it's to your liking?"687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINQnAQ6SPj
"Of course, I'll see you687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3x0mQSkq3P
later." Francesca did that sometimes, inviting David over. Chatting 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTX8nkWkGDS
about trivialities, like whether he had any more vision about The Five. 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡst68uv069W
Thankfully Jester didn't deign to appear yet so David managed to sleep 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYDvQiNP2I
peacefully, well not accounting the strange dreams about some boy crying687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3Nmr7aF9W
and calling for his mummy. Those dreams made David wake up in a foul 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJcDGYiT9n
mood, he wasn't certain why but thought it could be because he didn't 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6mAUyuvBq
remember his parents or family.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTVILSrxWn
Francesca, unaware of 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPmZyX0CrB
David's thoughts or dreams, nodded with a smile and led her group from 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7exom25C66
the main cavern. Twitch following her and joining his sibling to whom 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIYFnURLuG
David waved. Turning around he came face to face with Nook.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllvBnE36lH
"I'm off duty now, got some guys looking for a game. You're in?"687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjJeLhG5mQ
Nook was an interesting 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFVA7cKfwD
case, while he was definitely Gob's man he didn't seem to be as 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcf9wVqFGVd
disciplined as the other soldiers. He was also one of the few soldiers 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLNkO5YyHy
who was friendly with David instead of following Gob's lead and hating 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7m1RSexlgK
his guts. So they decided to have a card game here and there while 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSd0OKrIG8
inviting other people, a card game in which David lost more often than 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEbCktBkdw
not. While David hated losing in cards it was a good method of making 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRIh1H0kD1
friends and getting to know people. As well as a guarantee to keep 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FBtFWpNuv
getting invited as long as you lost smart and graciously accepted it.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUeudByEoTi
"Aye, why not Nook. Maybe I'll clean house this time."687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cjPNMDAMc
Nook grinned a 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9c62XSJLu
predator's smile and led David towards a secluded table. While gambling 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoACecowNr
wasn't banned or anything, as long as you were off duty, it was frowned 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaJ0NyG9n7
upon by Gob. That and most rebels having limited resources. Having only 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkgjE4Af5u
their clothes and weapons stolen from the empire or brought on their 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhw0qOdaaQ
backs.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPDaP4HdDZ
Thus any card games were687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBXgfORHeH
just that, games to pass the time. At least until David proposed to bet687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRyjub4DQL
their rations. Everyone received the basic rations few times per day 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGupP0FWPSU
and it was up to them how much of that they ate. It was barely enough to687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdEjJDs1ev
feed a healthy adult. As they have been on this isle for a while it was687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡophxUsE3cy
harder to find fresh animals to hunt every day. A lot of the rebels 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC32T6Rr6T4
were opposed to that idea as they'd loose on the last bits of food they 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02EsMukLMa
did have.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRZguBraqi
Some did think it was a 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdaaeuot10
brilliant idea and David was sitting down with a few of them right now. 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl05V9AQeyS
Nook, he was confident in his card abilities. Apparently before joining 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQalYVSgzC
the rebellion he was a militiaman in his village and gambled a lot. As 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOdCjfMlrf
far as David could see he was more lucky than actually good. Old 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHhH4IYcka
toothless Stevie, he joked that if he did lose his rations that it would687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkWZqFW1ig
save his last teeth. He also wasn't afraid to bet most of his rations 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDUruLhlin
scaring the other players into folding, a good bluffer. Finally there 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtBiFlpKUU
was Tiruk, a huge man who definitely needed more rations just to 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIXNzsyDbh
survive. It surprised David anyone could keep that weight with tight the687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5PfFYeS6u
food has been.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIypsjUAq4
They were the four main 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtzvZc7fBh
players who usually joined the gambling games. Sometimes others joined 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIXvtfnpkV
but they usually stopped after going hungry for a day or two as they 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8QCVbXgzS
lost their rations. These four though didn't give up after losing, 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy34Ss9rnBK
because they knew that their chances of a feast were just around the 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTREA1WUKEX
corner. That fact created a sense of comradeship between the players. 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrKELUYVa0
Even if they were playing against each other they understood the risks 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgMcNqsFHB
and accepted them.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngPeO9JbuZ
"''Ello boys." David 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYT1y2qhS0Z
said sitting down at the table with Nook. There were nods all around the687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFn4ESEjH8F
table and the cards were dealt. They were playing a card game called 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7hDcx1GWs
match 'n go. Most of the rebels had not heard of the game or at least 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmNGIEKpxe
knew it under a different name but most of them caught on fast, it was 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlshMpTIw3
often just played for fun. But the best games came from betting. As the 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsr8KORfOPX
risks went higher you tried to fool your opponent into thinking that you687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgS1ASusXM
had the match or a higher card. David loved risk games like that, he 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1DjnXeTu6
loved reading the other player emotions and using it against them or at 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJMCIroQ62
least for his own benefit. 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLY6jMsFGx
Nook was the first to 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAFUz9iaSN
play. "I'm betting half of my rations on this. Gots a good deck, that I 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQOos9dWu7
do." David could see the plastered smile on his face. At this point 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosy0MtsZYc
David could tell fake between real in a heartbeat. Nook was bluffing.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDexGOhMRk
"Alright, I'll call that." David answered.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2h8oQeqPN
Tiruk, in answer, just 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBQY4vsaZ3
shook his head and folded. He wasn't risking it. Stevenson with his 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgv9xLgS6F
gaped smile called it as well and cackled a bit.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52o7MOxh2v
Next card revealed. A 3 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9yt0pBxUA
for Davids two threes. He'd have to fold that game, too high chance of 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETbebO2U8K
winning. So it went on and on, rations were won and lost. David won a 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5HRucrDNB
few games but then he bet everything and lost on purpose, made Stevie a 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqSWTBoMGE
very happy, old, man.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbWFFGc41B
Since David didn't have 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxy8xbesQc
anything to bet with anymore he made his excuses and left the table. He 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6f1TRII85
took a look around for Gob and didn't see him anywhere so decided it 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdb6QepX7c
would be safe to take a walk.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6gXIwNwfV
Another thing he took to687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqM4uLzp2PO
doing over the past two weeks was exploring, finding any secret spaces 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhSy3C9u1l
where he might hide. The rebels themselves only found one possible 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4vFW6ffIW
emergency exit while David found three. Of course the other two exits 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5m07vzhhwD
only were wide enough for one person to pass through at a time. So it 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoL4WAMgRrw
could be that they just didn't consider them as such.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmk84uf4DH3
He also found various 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGbGfG6riX
hiding spots, not only for him but for items he stole. Weapons, 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0POjUNI8i6
ammunition, food and the like. If only a small amount disappeared at a 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbplGAoIZlj
time no one really noticed and attributed it to absentmindedness. Though687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYzfippsBw
David believed Gob was getting suspicious so he would need to start 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDlTyxH8Kr
being more careful.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPRnII2vSE
The caves themselves 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BitzPcT22
seemed to go through the whole isle, David didn't believe he explored 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09tQv6BoYy
even half of it. Gob tried to send a few soldiers every day to explore 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALBoR3gW74
further into the caves, but many were afraid of the dark, believing 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8loYfsR1hJ
various beasts were residing in them. Refusing to go inside without Gob 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WGJD4jCIS
and since Gob was usually busy either creating or being out on patrols 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIorCKMiZi
himself that limited their exploring time.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHbPAWX00B
That let David offer his687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwmMJckVnh
services as an explorer. He would explore the further caves and would 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4SEY4068K
report on any worrying circumstances. Gob was reluctant to let him go 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9S8qEv84F
but was convinced by Francesca that it would be a grand idea as it would687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZHCr5hv9U
free more people for patrols and other duties.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhc6mvozDS
This time though he had a687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQSwO9FazD
destination in mind. A bit further into one of the pathways, about an 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJKtGR2k7G
hour from the main cavern, there was a small pathway where a thin person687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKvawRPNqG
could barely fit. Following that pathway, if you could survive the 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI84JV3QBnv
feeling of getting crushed by the walls, was a pool. David was surprised687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0drBBYgPi
when he found and astonished when he discovered the water was hot. 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVL7SVdIXkp
That's where he was 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCIchrEnUg
going now; he needed a clear head for Francesca's meeting. No matter how687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgAwDa3KzC
she acted she was a noble, they always sought the best deals for 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDiApdikMu
themselves, always trying to ledge a situation in their favour. David 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EZzMPmZ57
would need to be on his toes. Or maybe he just wanted to actually relax 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQii958earY
without anyone screaming or crying, he didn't decide which one sounded 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFNTXGhI1C
better in his mind.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufUP91c50J
Thus grabbing a torch as687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gGgLBz4At
many of the pathways further down weren't lit, he began his, 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JJcaHa7yX
uneventful, journey. Luckily he reached his destination in a timely 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVxqDOvUU5
manner, though he hated going through that cramped space. He gave a 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabUJqFVnwO
satisfied sigh as he sat down in the pool, his muscles losing the 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCNSt3YvcC
tension he gathered over the past few weeks, the water reached up to his687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIYgyx5lIl
chest and he dunked his head under the water finally enjoying a proper 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RHaW3Yl8v
clean. He was careful to keep track of time but other than that he let 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZRD9uW65S
his mind wander and just blanked out. 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKx7odkaK73
Before he even noticed, 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CofhUqj0p
to David's disappointment, it was time to leave. He was also saddened by687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBOO6gtvqN
the fact that the water ended up a bit darker after his bath, a way to 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFYgFv1u79
hit a guys confidence. With a sad sigh he put on his dirty and worn out 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7yElBUePo
clothes and went back to the main cavern to the sound of activity and 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiokOr293pi
the smell of unwashed masses.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQItBN66PIg
It did seem that David 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDL18flOxd
came back just in time as people were gathered near the cooking pots to 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXCgihIESy
gather their rations. David did the same and then found Stevie, sitting 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMj01QtzxP
with some other older rebels, and gave him his rations. Stevie nodded 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnihMTRyGiN
and had a sparkle in his eye. "Maybe nexsht time you can save me 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGeqCPHNVV
teethsh." And he cackled at his joke. David managed a weak laugh that 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuHm2SMiEL
seemed to satisfy Stevie.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcT78DHDEL
"Don't keep Francesca 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BQS1lzBP0
waiting." Came a gruff voice from behind. David tried to hide his 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2z6KqFHzIy
annoyance at the fact that Gob managed to sneak up on him and scare him.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhf5FC1llBJ
Some people just had no sense of proper manners.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUY7HqFZjuC
"Oh I wouldn't dare." 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87Jrc3z3X5
He gave a mock bow which seemed to infuriate Gob more. "I was just out 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffPnlLX7YU
exploring, nothing to report so far, sir Gob." Gob just grunted and 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LkJUxh9qM
walked away. 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLZpFdAiqn
David smiled and waved 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0dUC62UBu
after him, the guy really needed to unwind. With nothing else to do but 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONDuFLCxpm
shrug at that thought David went towards Francesca's room. Even if 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO65pZQK75D
Francesca did pretend to be all for equality and the like she still had 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJEhrXZqQ3
her personal quarters, such as they were, as well as an actual bed, 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHkjWT70gh
table, chairs. They were shoddy work at best, crafted quickly by some of687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTv1lCPCF9X
the rebels, but they were more than anything any other rebel had. David687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWGS0DXAjm
was impressed by how she had more and yet most still perceived her as 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStIpwjAbqW
the paragon of virtue.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI25fidPY6O
Her room, as per usual, 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3oCytB18j
was guarded. But the guard waved him on with a smile. David saw it as a 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtF5FtABNpZ
pointless precaution anyway, but what could you do. Francesca herself 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvmrddM0xt
was already seated, with a torch in the middle of the table, a pale 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0oJIh43ds
imitation of a candle. One thing the rebels had a lot of were torches, 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisvbA4xi4J
to light up all caverns and pathways. 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqZlPJDHor
"Oh, David! Please sit" she gestured towards the second chair.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAamEeFEL6
David sat down with a 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxNMyscAcp
nod and smile. They weren't eating anything extravagant, just what the 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OW46WUfVr
rest were. Dried meat, nuts, sometimes if they were lucky they could 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRm4Cs87h8
even get rabbit or vegetable soup, but that more of a luxury nowadays. 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjpMxfbynE
This time it was some dried meat of unknown origin and some water found 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmc0dBF48db
in a stream. Delicious.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZARPWTJdJ
"So pleasantries first or business first?"687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNEYTSNpCP
"I found that going straight to business can ruin a healthy appetite."687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvXFUtUjSF
Francesca nodded and 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCA1F4H4AeM
began to cut her meat with her wooden utensils. While David had similar 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTluct0E5Sy
equipment he didn't really find much use of them and found it better to 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuw56JIoM8C
eat with his own hands. Made it faster and when you're under cannon fire687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbm5PRR1EU
fast eating was paramount.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3kg6mqzif
As expected David 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0STfaAGWOp
finished his portion first and ended up waiting for Francesca to finish 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDlloWRMp6
hers, which took another 5 or 10 minutes. The girl was certainly a 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3o0kqGLgc
deliberate eater.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWTqFiYcE0
"So on to business." She687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNzegOHj8W
paused making sure David was ready, once he nodded she continued. "Tell687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBWcNd5CDr
me, do you know who actually hired your services?"687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQ9waG4gdW
"No idea, captain was usually tight lipped about our clients. I just always assumed it was one of you guys."687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IhVNVshFk
"In a way. It's someone 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpvV8N3Njs
who's...interested in our cause. One of Gob's friends. He is able to get687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTrEM90aGG
in and out of the isles without arousing too much suspicion."687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrxjHjTmWx
"Can't imagine you can tell me who it is?"687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBAqh4uZfl
"It's not for me to tell sadly, Gob was adamant that it's best kept as secret." Francesca smiled apologetically "apologies"687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKA6Ymt6PJW
David waved his hand in a playful manner. "No worries, I'm surprised you're telling me any of this in the first place."687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rb6lqlvwL
"Well, there is a 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Fi0KQRvBP
reason. Since the weapons we got previously are in the Empire's hands 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsdlsoyvix
and we can't fight them for it." Putting it lightly the rebels never 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsi32zMNCM
really fought the empire in a straight on fight. Mostly raids and 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZoePrKUbz
recruiting villagers with their possessions. Easy pickings. "Gob got in 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxKL9Xk2d2
touch with his friend again and luckily we managed to set up a meeting 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4Fs2roeBV
in a few days the edge of a different isle.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzgxKMBLI9
"We will also be moving 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHpAOCVinJ
our base" she continued, sadly. "I can't keep us here with the danger 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrALRtl9OdB
increasing, so we will move slowly, to an isle we were based in before 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhBhx4ZWYp
so some will know where to go."687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbDdITxVLK
"That's good, why did 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FV6VzvWoi
you want to keep us here for this long anyway?" While he was annoyed at 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqa7tJLzVkl
hearing that question every time he went on patrols, he couldn't deny he687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5zNadvXxo
was interested in the answer.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsFBUqBfZ5
"It...It has to do with one of The Five. I can't reveal more in fear that it might interfere with your objective. "687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJvsRJ6VEz
David nodded, not a full687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOdzsALY0L
answer he wanted but to push might create a rift between them. Religion687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQS3yCn3JVn
was pretty important to Francesca "Don't worry; you don't have to 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNJFByBbge
reveal anything you don't want want to." He said in a soothing tone687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWB6e7gVcy
"Thank you." She said 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXA7Bns65qr
gratefully. "Where was I? Oh, yes. We'll have groups with specified 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeakxcH2FQ6
leaders going back to that previous isle, they'll lead them and we'll 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDW2RiZijS
regroup at a specified point."687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzIco0qF7y
"How will you get 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlYcfex6Z6
everyone over to the next isle?" Isles were divided by cracks, and while687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYapZPV1cg
some you could jump over, others were so wide you could fit a full 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYrO5X2RMO
city.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtzyAK0lI7
"We have small sky 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdD3XaDhsf
boats. Some of the groups will use it...Others...Others will need to 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5fPcrquPR
find their own way" she said in bitter tones. "I don't like that, we're 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGB4B9qX9RU
abandoning my people. But Gob said it's too dangerous traveling in a big687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrujmn6IqUo
group."687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0p9zKq0dh
"You're a good leader on your own. You should trust your own instincts." Ah finally! An opportunity to create that rift687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LlV3Hif4o
She gave him a sad smile687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtF48TJxb6
in response. "Thank you, but I do not a good head for tactics or 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcanK4AbV6
military matters. I've had some education on it, but Gob is much better 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoncqG1ock
at it." David still wasn't sure just what Gob did before the rebellion. 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLsIMZERq3
Francesca stated that the past did not matter and as long as they were 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38MBA4bTUP
willing to fight for the rebellions ideals they would be allowed to keep687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNH4bz3kQ7h
their past in the past.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXCShhpPFE
"Now then, back to 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Mn42WoHsU
business." She said more cheerily. "Myself and Gob will be meeting that 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2tXvc93rt
person in a few days. We will have guards but I'd also like for you to 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxfBMV25tp
come. You're well-traveled and met many people; your advice would be 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKqfYgMmcD
valuable, especially since we'll only be bartering for them."687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsxfIqtVIZ
"You'll have it. I'm 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvA4MoO0u2s
more than happy to join you." While he wasn't looking forward to 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6L6Y3N5ZeD
sleeping with all the insects again, it might help his back to not sleep687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5mkHsm0HH
on a rock hard surface.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ME9HcyxiB
"Perfect! I'll let Gob know and convince him as well." She laughed sheepishly. "I didn't really confirm this with him you see."687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHIATjg0tk
"Oh, the guy loves me. It'll be easy." Francesca smiled at that, she knew just how much Gob hated David.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYBzc5uvOL
A lull in the conversation and then a question David was dreading "Did you have any more visions? From the one who chose you?"687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvbDSuW5Wi
"Sadly no, I'm as 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qmiXQKt98
clueless as when I was born." This wasn't exactly true. He knew he had 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQkoVT6jyj
to find something, and suspected Francesca was after it as well he 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOe4XchWJY
suspected it was on this isle. Francesca seemed to know more, but she 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipMYvGTh4G
wasn't willing to reveal it. She might hide it under lofty ideals, but 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwOFIMzF5Z
she was concealing the truth from both David and the rebels.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcOWIp6Qy8
"Do not worry, I am 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSXmzzlVzt
su..." before she could continue their whole world rocked. As explosions687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCFEm0j6qv
rang from outside and rubble started falling all around them., hitting 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4hYuLy6RJ
the table and dislodging the torch, casting ominous shadows on the walls687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNPqZjNqIH
"Wha..." before David could finish his thought a very worried Gob barged in. 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUJydux0EX
"We're under attack, they found us."
