Two groups arrived within a minute of one another, each at different points of my territory. Thirty-two people in all, with eight in the first group and twenty-four in the other.
Hrm. That’s big enough that it seems clearly planned. Maybe the Merchants will be the ones taking initiative here?
Also, the distribution reminds me a lot of the Atrocious Basejumping Benefactors back in Gestation.
Both groups reacted, jumping and backing away as my swarm swept over them.
To be expected, really.
I could feel the vibration in the air as one in the second group laughed. The others joined him.
Guessing the first laughing one is the leader of the group. Possibly Skidmark himself?
I’d held off on attacking, just using the bugs to get a headcount and a sense of who was there. There were men and women, young and old. Each of them had weapons of some sort, and fifteen in total had guns.
Yeah, that really tears any doubt that they’re here for a fight to pieces.
