Chapter 252: A New Strategy Part 1

Mimi pulls up to the Docking Station.

It's been awhile since I've ridden on Ariana's Stancimis, but we needed to get back down to the FH as soon as possible. I wanted to see it for myself - see that it was still standing. See Sampson still standing in it. I take off my helmet and survey the room. Pretty much the same as when we left, except now, the space isn't filled with fighting and gunshots. It's quiet. Somber. And most of the bodies aren't dueling, but lay sprawled out over the floor, some crushed beneath broken fragments of the wall and ceiling.

"I am not sure when it was that you were last here," Qippert greets us at the edge of the pool, "but I assure you, this is not how it usually looks."

The three Nerwos remove their headgear.

"It has certainly been some time," Ehan clears his throat. He glances over at his sister who pops a concerned brow. Ehan dismounts from the Stancimis and Norhra and Ghion follow, all three taking in the status of the damaged station.
