"Irin
There was a bit of nervous laughter and I took another quick glance around It was certainly i wooden table ran down theinto the dirt A large bed stood in the back right corner, and I wondered if this here Micah lived There were two fire pits surrounded by rocks on either side of the tent, with smoke holes cut out of the fabric above them
"We don’t have time to do much of an introduction here," Micah said "HARC will be here soon, and they will likely bring the big guns this time"
"Whoop whoop!"
I jumped at the sudden outburst and turned to see several reservation Reboots standing behind us Their penchant for yelling rando to get you all weapons, do a very fast tour, and assign you a location" He turned and started pulling guns off the shelf
"This time," Callum said quietly
I looked up at him "What?"
"He said ‘this time’ Like HARC has come here before"
"They’ve been here several tiun out to un, eyebrows raised "Always?"
"Every tilanced fro to take it Guns were not Callu I’d had to escape HARC with him because he refused to use one to kill an adult Reboot HARC saw no point in keeping Reboots who didn’t follow orders
But he took the gun from Micah without a word I doubted he’d use it
"Why would they couns and extra aain They’ve gotten smarter It’s been almost a year since the last attack" Micah strode out of the tent and we followed him "That’s one of the reasons we don’t build estured at the tents "The bo a lot of stuff down today"
"The bombs?" Callum repeated
"Yes We’ll stop so" Micah stopped near the fire pit and faced us "All right Shuttles co in from the south You’ll stay here with the second wave Protect the reservation, don’t die That’s all you gotta do If you lose a body part in a boot a bunch of kits to sew parts back on Don’t take other people’s body parts Unless you know the person is already dead, then have at it"
Callum’s face twisted "Seriously? We can just put our body parts back on?"
"Yes," I said "If you sew it on fast enough It’s like when you have a broken bone Get it back where it belongs and it’ll reconnect"
"That’s disgusting" He looked at me in horror "Has that ever happened to you?"
