Oh - blessed communication. Dictys didn't recognize the name, but ey was happy to hear anything that seemed to be...well, working. "Hello there; this is Dictys Glauci. Unfortunately, we've just got the one - we can't really afford to lose more defenders, and..." ey paused, glancing over at the base. "I wouldn't depend on my team to do much of anything beyond obscene dance moves and sleeping, really." They really needed to either get rid of the rebels at the luxury docks or find a new place to work from.
And yet - Dictys' fins flared to hear a voice that was only barely familiar. Was that Variga? She must have finally returned to the realms of the living. "You're back!" ey said, fairly pleased. "If you wouldn't mind, the base there needs some demolition, as well..." Ey wouldn't have been so polite, ordinarily, but Atiqua made everyone around her look angelic by comparison.
Now ey'd be off to get some more supporters.

Nervit had been a little too busy to reply. She'd been running around trying to help with construction efforts and general recruitment and...well, maybe she'd forgotten to turn her radio on, okay? It was an easy mistake to make. Still, her cheeks were flushed a deep brown as she flicked the radio on, just in time to hear Dictys speak out.
"Apologies seadweller, my most sincere. It appears I forgot to turn on the radio, which is why I have been out of contact. I've been helping with the construction and recruitment work though, so be assured that I have been - " There was the slightest hint of a pause here, barely noticeable unless you were listening hard, as Nervit considered the behaviour of the other lowbloods on the team - one so-so, and the other abdominable. I mean, taking the captaincy that was rightly Dictys's? Terrible! "-working with your orders, sir!"
That was polite enough, right?

It was almost a pleasure to hear Nervit's own voice - and while, certainly, ey didn't like that there'd been, essentially, radio silence on her end...there was nothing ey could do about it, really. "That's fine, so long as you're in communication now. Construction and recruitment are both useful skills to have - in fact, if you can, you should come with me. I'm currently located at Swiftscale Hill, at the coordinate 3,5 - that's three from the east and 5 from the south. I'm drumming up support; we can then proceed to assign the recruits to the base Variga will build."
Ey'd assume she was building one once she was done with the docks, anyway. Atiqua could do as she wished; there was nothing that could hurt Dictys now.
And ey glided out atop the hill to summon even more of those volunteers wishing for amity. Excellent.

"It will be demo'd, as you wish," Abrila replied to Dictys before dropping the remains of her device and grabbing up her shovel. Oh yes, oh yes they would pay for touching her stuff. She would do it herself.
She stomped back towards the docks, completely ignoring everything else in her path. She was focused. She was ready She was awake.
By the looks of things, the defenders she had called over had done their job swiftly, leaving the base... well, undefended.
She lifted her shovel, and set to work.

Atiqua pishawed at the sea dweller. So.. formal and rigid. Right now it was easy pickings, no one was dead yet, no one had attacked them. But, it was apparently time to attack.
"Now see why'd ya'll go and do this without calling me?"
She sighed and shook her head at them.
Hammer in hand, she strolled on down to the docks. Knocking most of it down she shrugged. "Eyyyyyyyyyy close enough."

Whoever had defiled her space sure had done a good job building their own base on top of it. For the first time she found herself rather disliking the rebels, when before she couldn't have given a ratbeast's rump. The military was right about them, just taking what they wanted, humph.
She thought while denying her own tendencies to "scavenge".
Abrila was going to take the base down brick by brick, and tell the trolls responsible exactly how she felt about them. Dust and debris flew everywhere as she worked like a demolition drone.

Abrila worked with such a fervor that she didn't notice that Atiqua was doing the exact same thing. The base was going down, and going down fast, and that's all she cared about. Her shovel swung, and she had devised a way to use it to swing small explosives deeper into the base.
BOOM!
A few trolls standing by decided to join them in pants-wetting fear.

Atiqua smashed stuff. Smashed stuff fast. And by fast that was to turn around and see rebels building back up, them demoing more and just-
"Aw hell no."

"Now, follow along," Dictys said, and ey directed the defenders to the docks: just in time, it seemed, because the rebels certainly seemed to be active at the moment, if that attempt at fortification just prior to Atiqua's second attack was any indication. "All sixteen of you should be on the docks there there," ey said in satisfaction. Atiqua could do what she liked from here.
And Abrila seemed to be wandering off, which was...well, it was fine.

With the rebel base nothing but rubble and the new one well underway thanks to the rest of the team, Abrila decided to go strolling along the beach to get some fresh air. There was still dust floating around and it was starting to make her cough. Her team mates could handle things. Or two of them seemed to know what they were doing? Mother grub knows.
She couldn't say she liked the ocean air much, either. It was too salty. And salty water meant salty seadwellers. At least everything was deserted except for the rebels and the military, so she didn't need to worry too much about running into an unpleasant character.
But the walk wasn't completely uneventful. She came across a new area, complete with a rebel base. Before anyone could notice her, she turned around to go back to the team, tucking the knowledge away for now. Their presence meant her place was still at risk...

"Yessir!" Was the prompt radio reply, before Nervit began jogging to eir location. Not out and out sprinting because it was rather a distance and her legs would wear out, but faster than a walk - after all, ey were a seadweller, and the rightful commander of their troupe. Was troupe the right word? It was intimidating enough certainly - subjuggalators travelled in troupes, after all. But the majority of their group was lowblooded....but then, a seadweller was in command. It was an interesting juxtaposition.
They caught up with Dictys as ey were about to ship themselves and the defenders out, so Nervit just joined the column of trolls obediently, with a deferential nod to the seadweller.

After having planted her flags and making a big old fat show of just why flags were important, Atiqua had to go back and gather more flags. Once stocked back up- "Now see, flags are important." She began over the radio. "Every planet and force has a flag. No flag no rule. No flag how do you know what side you're on? No flag? You got nothing. Flags can change everything. She began to set up several dozen flags on top of the hill. Several.
Dozen. "You may think I'm joking but I'm not. Flags are important guys- Like woah." Sitting down she began to sew more flags. She would make enough to cover all the bases.

It was actually quite satisfying to hear Nervit falling into line - ey liked her, for now, at least. Ey'd keep that in mind. Ey waved as Abrila found her way back to them. " Find anything new?" Ey raised an eyebrow. She seemed the type to keep quiet, but she'd also proven surprisingly...uh, good at being angry. Ey tossed eir hair over eir shoulder when ey heard Atiqua begin again, but thought - well. Atiqua had just been helpful. So Dictys would concede this one thing. " If constructing flags is how you'd like to contribute to this, I suppose I can have no objection." So long as she wasn't twerking, really. " We'll check out more areas and see if we can rally up more support. I'm sure you're excellent at base decoration."
