No...the Strain of our childhood home was far more feral. It robbed our nursery and creche for food, and used swarm tactics...this one is whittling down your numbers with hit and run. It's smart and can communicate more effectively.You sit and wait in silence with William, until the squads return. Major Anderson approaches the two of you, and he looks grim. "Our flanks report fifty percent losses, Mother Alphira. Major Jackson is dead. Gem, the Thornton Merc, assumed command of that flank. She executed the next in command for dereliction of duty. By all accounts, she's the only one who kept her head on her shoulders."
William smiles that butcher's smile and Anderson gives him a dark glare "I'm not happy
William."
[20+1 vs 2] Suddenly William surges from his crouch, a metallic hand wrapping tightly around Anderson's throat. It tightens briefly as the Major fumbles for his cutter blade- it falls from his shaking hands. He glances to you tensing and lets the Major go. William brushes the man's armor clean of dust, staring down at the other man, "Then get better officers, Major Anderson."
William leaves, and Anderson scowls after him but doesn't press further.
Overhead, you hear a whistle, and the ground rattles beneath your feet. Emerging from your cover, you notice a plume of smoke and dust rising from where the plaza should be.
They've found their mark.That's your cue, Patches. Go put on a show for these simpleminded fools.
