(And Saras is still clueless.)

(It got very intense on the last few pages, not gonna lie.)

(lemme try to give a better rundown. So party was running from antags at start, having all met up at different locations, they get tasked to find this Umbra guy that's leading parts of the Scorpino's army..
Only to find out they've been captured all along and kept them a dream simulation for a few months by Commander Mikoleva Sanmon and some of Umbra's forces. They managed to escape a confrontation with Umbra and escaped into a Scorpino captured city. Flame also put up a thread here that seems to have a lot of information. https://www.sylestia.com/forums/?thread=87204)

(Good job Xedite, I cant explain this whatsoever. I also came up with a theory at like 11:00 pm last night. I can explain it if you want.)

(feel free, I'm really in and out of it today, but still all ears. Pretty excited for ideas if Flame's going all out lore wise here)

She was going to attract attention running like that.. Ugh.
Why did he even bother anymore? He decided to keep his pace, not wanting to seem too out of place as he kept his empty rifle in hand only stopping when he caught sight of Saras. This.. didn't look like any Exterminator part of Umbra's army or any plain citizen of the city. He watched him closely, slowing his steps but keeping his hand on his gun as a warning in case the alien decided to pick a fight with him.

(keep forgetting pings ff)

"That's them! The evil ones! The ones causing this mayhem!" A Bahari shouted.
They have no clue about what's really going on. they thought. Bahari are clueless about the real war.

This definitely wasn't the sneakiest way to get out of a city that was looking for you. Probably the reason for getting spotted. Whelp, the best thing to do would be to keep going. Hopefully Corasi understood that, because Hexic really didn't feel like transforming back. He might need to if they do anything other than keep going.

(Sorry for the slow reply. Anyways, in light of recent events, what if Fjen was Corasis subconscious trying to warn her what would happen if she joined Umbra. I mean Fjen was basically Corasi but with a different name.)

Yep, theyre following me. I mean it could be worse. They could actually know how to shoot and seriously injure me. No, that doesnt make this situation better. She ran even faster, and ducked behind a cliff once she passed the city. She enjoyed the break, watching all the aliens who were chasing her pass the cliff.

(Might be an interesting theory. Like trying to wake herself up subconsciously realizing the danger she was in, especially if she was meant to be convinced into joining them originally.)
