I hate research, I hated it during the war when we were trying to figure out something to hurt the machines, and now trying to deal with some kind of killer worms I hate it even more. Like what's the point of reading up on things when you can just be killing them? I wouldn't have even bothered with the whole researching things, but since I couldn't see the worm creatures, and I didn't want to get killed I figured might be time to read up on them. So of course there was nothing on giant creature eating worms.
It seemed weird really. How these people had lived on the planet for as long as they had (they were here during the war, specifically to avoid being purged) and no one had ever apparently seen or been consumed by the creatures. It was a uniquely new thing, and that gave me pause. How could huge underground worms (well I assumed huge, they were strong enough to pull me under, and hungry enough to eat a bunch of live stock). Of course while I was reading in the library three people got eaten. I mean that sounds callous, but to me it was funny. I was trying to find information on these creatures, and while I was doing that people were attacked. So suddenly one farmers issue became everyones issue.
Which just meant my pay check went up and I was totally ok with that.
