Letting my hand drop from her arm, I surveyed the area around us. It was quiet, all we could hear was the sounds of anger from behind us. "I guess they can." Maybe they were sending us out for that purpose exactly. We were taking up space after all. After our first base had been attacked and we'd intruded into this camp, what I thought was generosity had apparently been a burden. None of us had trained in weeks, they had to know that we weren't ready to fight. We needed time and they weren't going to give it.
