Date:?20/09 Time:?Early afternoon Location:?Crane farm Characters:?Cai, Anna? OOC: Sorry it took me a while, I've been dealing with a lot. Details privately.? "I think we're more temporary than they are." Anna said, handing Cai an apron and getting her own from the hooks on the wall. "Which bothers me. If they view us as just another hunting ground, they're going to step up their attacks, and if they step up their attacks, then we might see something bigger than the occasional scree raid." The space was limited, which made their movements a lot smaller and more restrained so they wouldn't bump into each other. "I think we should probably find some low-tech way to enforce the boundary. And probably a better way to patrol it, because if things are as bad as you say they are Out There, we're in for a lot more than just attacks on farms." For some reason, Anna rubbed the scarred patch of skin on her neck and shuddered a little.? "Thanks for offering to talk to Snicks, by the way." Anna said, stepping over to the side so Cai could work. She took down a set of gleaming metal tools with a variety of uses-- of course, Cai had her own, but Anna as always offered a full service for the room. "I'm thinking if they find a few corpses, they might think about the boundary. Sort of what Earthers used to do with feral hogs." And of course what the corporation used to do in conflict areas, but something told her reminding everyone of the dirty corporate tactics was a bad idea. "It'll also save me having to walk the boundary night of the solstice festival. You goin' to that at all?" It was a huge event, of course, and Anna's family always went, but the farmer tended to spend half the night walking the border and couldn't enjoy the celebrations when she was?there.?
