"Sir we are surrounded." SiC was telling me this like I couldn't look at the monitors showing the damned spiders crawling all over the ship. SiC was not alone, the little shuttle was crammed with as much as I could haul of my AI friends, the ones that we couldn't bring hopefully got out on escape pods. I assumed they made it out because we didn't see shots firing at their ships, so I can imagine seeing as I was the only life sign escaping my attackers they shot at me, which was as I intended. Now the freaking enemy which were spiders naturally were all over the space port I hoped to patch my small ship up at. And that damned RIG person had just let me in without warning me, because of course she did. At least I had my sword, so that was a solace against spiders and their creepy spider people masters.
"Stay on the ship, ready yourselves in case they try and breach, I'm going to do a little pest removal."
"I'd advise against it sir, but you don't tend to listen to my suggestions."
"I always appreciate someone cares SiC watch the ship." I stepped outside and killed the first spider waiting by the door. This of course brought the rest which was my plan (as far as having one, you know get them coming to me, that's it, that's the plan). Fire magic and my blade did the work I needed done. The spiders may have blown up my ship, but I made them pay when they came for me personally (and I took it personally they blew up my gods damned ship). I was actually feeling bad for people killed by the spiders, but then again I am almost a god I think, maybe its hard to say.
Anyway I made my way from the port to the town proper which was also overrun. I have to say kind of surprising how many freaking spiders were living underneath us. In a way this war is beneficial, because its helping us to clean up a clear mess. Though I did notice these weren't normal spiders (ok other than their size you asshole who is reading my journal and judging me), they reeked of the other death god. My sword also burned them without being on fire, which told me I was completely correct. Other than of course the attack by these spiders after I told Hanlon the spider god was playing him.
Still I felt the town should have done a better job fighting the spiders. I mean sure I had powerful fire magic, and hundreds of years fighting nightmares. But they are just giant damn spiders, you can kill those with regular means! Sure they did a blitz attack on the authorities at first which of course hurts your ability to respond to huge freaking spiders. But you can still get chairs and hammer and things. Come on people don't just lay down for the horrors of the world! Fight them! I of course say this as a person who generally ignores things wrong with the world until it affects me.
Back on topic, I made my way to the army base which was pretty much screwed from when I showed up. Like I figured that's why they let me in, but I had no idea how bad. Surrounded, most of the soldiers I could see were dead, and there was a huge freaking spider moving on what I could only assume were the last survivors.
"Going to be one of those days." I said to myself as I moved forward.
