John paused, looking around at the expectant faces of the Bulltors and his friends before adding:
"We'll have to go there and see for ourselves. Speculation won't stop a disaster if one is coming. Luckily, the southern territory to our west holds one of these groups. It's the closest anomaly to our current position."
"And the Hiveminds?" Lilith suddenly cut in, with a fierce look on her face that told everyone she would take no as an answer. "We can't just leave them off the hook for this long! It's been far too long since they retreated. They must be scheming something foul behind those walls while we're distracted by these human clusters!"
"Sure, we'll target them as well, at the same time," John said, pivoting back to his earlier strategic thoughts. "You are allowed to move in and eliminate the majority of their forces. However, I have a specific requirement: leave a few of their units alive so I can handle them personally. Is that clear?"
