Surrounded by the bouncy mushrooms ... they're eating grass.
Explorer - "I don't think they actually talk. Or do things."
...
Learner - "Like they came in on another comet entirely ..."
Explorer - "Comet ?"
Learner - "Yeah that's life got here. On real Earth I mean. Comets and asteroids."
Explorer - "You know this ?"
Learner - "I do. But mushrooms ..."
... they're eating grass ...
('Don't Come Around Here No More' by Tom Petty)
A ship arrives and drops it's plank, the soldiers march from it slowly.
Gear-work drones in their pace, carrying gear and cannon. These the
same as those in the Killer's Tale underground, loading cargo into the ship.
They
move through the city and set up their points without care for the
populace, knocking them aside without notice when in the way, walking
through the wall to more direct paths.
They continue to march endlessly, more gear and cannon more soldiers.
A
team crashes the door to the Mortuarium, the light of their gunfire
into, then rifles back over the shoulder followed by a long file of more
entering.
The
lead conducted the fire turns to command points elsewhere, to what roof
tops what cannon, wordlessly. Stores are breached the people flee,
food taken and loaded back into the gun-crates.
After
a final observation, the lead heads into the mayor's manor through the
parting crowd which welcomes it, in wonderment of these new fortifications.
