SERGEANT RAMPON MOLWYNOG
The distribution center’s windows were shattered, the sliding doors
stuck half-open, and it looked as though someone had thrown red paint
onto the walls. While open windows and doors spoke of theft, I
doubted that was the goal at all because these centers gave away their goods
to all who asked. No, the purpose for the destruction had been to harm and
cause fear.
I directed Specialists Boupha and Munni inside and checked our rear
before joining them. We weren’t in full gear and didn’t anticipate a problem
from the locals, but we had arrived in a small shuttle that probably hadn’t
gone unnoticed, even at this late hour. The last thing we wanted was to stir
up any trouble with the humans, and that included scaring them further.
Prince Ye Lena had tasked me with investigating the destruction of
several of our distribution centers in the area. Positioned in small business
districts and surrounded by homes, the centers we had visited so far tonight
had each been broken into and vandalized in similar ways. I had recorded
symbols and phrases in different handwriting and colors, as well as some
disturbing artwork of Ceros like me spewing fire from their mouths. Since
fire was one of the single most damaging weapons a combatant could use
against us, I counted such depictions as a threat. I also wondered how they
knew to draw such a picture.
Goddess, I didn’t understand humans. I knew that not all of them felt
the way the Humans First ones did, but so many of them still chose a cause
and fought for it regardless of whether it made any sense. They called it
dying on a hill. Strategically, one did want to own the high ground during a
land offensive, but the goal wasn’t to die there.
Was I using the wrong word? Was the expression defending a hill?
English was a very strange language at times and some humans spoke it
unnecessarily fast.
Regardless, the causes they seemed to choose to defend on their hills
often meant they intended to force their beliefs on others. Some humans
weren’t at all inclined to allow their fellows to live their lives on their own
terms. They did not mind their own business.
Such confusing creatures.
The ones who had vandalized this distribution center were as
bewildering as ever. They had broken as much as they could reach and
painted on the rest. Vials of nanobots were strewn about, slicking the floors,
and rendering them useless. Why would anyone want to destroy something
used to heal? It made no sense.
“Sir,” Boupha said as she handed me a crumpled piece of paper.
I took the thing—paper was such a waste of natural resources—and read
the blocky handwriting. It was a checklist. Breaking into and destroying a
center was at the top. Halfway down was a directive to capture “an alien”
and ransom “it” back to the rest. They wanted to force us to leave by taking
our people hostage.
