Call on the eve of battle

The march was by no means fast. The battalion slowly tore through the metal street, advancing in an orderly manner under the artificial lamps' illumination. Their rhythmic stops disturbed the peaceful night, becoming an augury of what the following morning could bring.

Eventually, the battalion arrived at a makeshift camp. The metal street expanded to make room for multiple rectangular structures. Each was closer to a tent than a proper house, but it worked well with the Scalqa's preferences.

The place had a standard military layout, with four vast roads splitting it into four blocks. The central square featured a big warehouse, which the human teams had filled with supplies and other resources that could appease various basic needs.
