Chapter 57: Crater City

"We are awfully close to human territory. Doesn't this seem a bit off?" Nix couldn't shake the feeling that this city shouldn't be here. He was camouflaged by the weedy jungle growing up from the crater floor, Mina was so close that she occasionally brushed against him. Aquarions didn't understand personal space.

The entire raid was waiting in the seaweed, spread out over several yards. Semmi was looking for a way in, while Wind had snuck into the city looking for anything they might want.

"I don't like it Nix," Mina whispered in his ear. "This city makes no sense. It only has housing."

"What's your estimate of their population based on the housing?"

Mina considered the numbers while she counted the buildings. "Four thousand."

"Ducky..." Nix had her change forms for a moment and gave her specific directions. "There's an underground cave entrance along the north wall. Check it out please, do not be seen."

[Command: Scout Area]

Nix summoned Soup and had her stand by.
