Boom Boom heard music in his head.

Not the pounding of war drums, or the guttural tribal chants that all Tuskers considered music. No, this was unlike anything anyone else in The Company had ever heard. The music Boom Boom heard was brisk and upbeat and it stirred emotions in him that he never knew he had. It was the music of a distant land and of a distant time. He'd heard it years ago during his gladiator days. A full orchestra of men had preformed as a prelude to their fights. 

Even though he was in shackles below the stadium, the orcs could hear the music coming through from above and several had been moved to tears by it. The orchestra was finishing up just as Boom Boom and his brothers were led into the arena. He caught a glimpse of the man they called the conductor, so captivated as he commanded the orchestra like a war chieftain commanded his men in the throes of battle. Later that night, Boom Boom was struck by the thought that Bunnies could make such beautiful music one moment, and then cheer on Tuskers as they slaughtered each other for their enjoyment.

The music played in his head as the battle started. Along with the rest of the sappers and support, he was in the back. He followed the rhythm of the music as he prepared his concoctions. Six large clay bowls rested on the ground with wooden stirrers resting in each one. Boom Boom stirred and added in ingredients as he went down the line. It was a combination of resin and alchemical fluids that would burn twice as hot and twice as fast as ordinary flame and be twice as volatile. Junior members of the sappers took each bowl away as Boom Boom finished it and moved on to the next one. The junior sappers would then shape the resin into balls and place them in catapults with a flame nearby ready to light it up.

Like that conductor so long ago, Boom Boom had the sappers running about on his orders and preparing the catapults and resin. The music in his head was building to a crescendo, the airy uptempo or strings haven gave way to the pounding repercussions and blaring horns as the climax of his piece approached. At Radush's signal, Boom Boom and the sappers would unleash a fiery overture.
