I looked down at Atlas. “I don’t have enough brute force, and neither does Atlas.”
Yeah, for a being named after the titan who held up the sky, Atlas isn’t all that strong unless you look at it from a regular beetle’s perspective.
“Legend does. We’re on our way. See you in a few.”
But that requires Legend to stop chasing Siberian. Which is both potentially difficult and likely to backfire due to the possibility of Siberian coming after you when you’re closing in on her real body and Bonesaw.
“Right.”
I hung up.
I drew more words in the air with my bugs, near Legend.
‘FOUND THE 9. UNDERGROUND SHELTER.’
Let’s see how he takes this.
As an afterthought, I added:
‘MAYBE CIVILIANS INSIDE.’
Oh yeah, that’s very likely. Though many of them may not be just civilians anymore.
I drew an arrow by the words. Then, to make it as clear as possible, I drew a giant arrow in the sky, pointing down at the shelter door.
Nice.
Of course, Siberian is also going to see all this, probably.
I was going to look foolish if they weren’t inside, and maybe cost Legend in whatever plan he was operating under.
Eesh, yeah, that might be bad. I don’t think that’s going to happen, though.
I could feel him changing directions. He kept facing Siberian, unloading laser blasts, but he was flying my way.
Good dude Legend is on his way!
