"Yeah, okay..." The cool darkness of his room and the sound of Kage's steady breathing were all Jasper needed to slip into sleep.

As the weeks went by, the General called more frequent assemblies. He shared more footage of coordinated efforts among Harbingers. The Cape Town Tower suffered a collapse when Miners dug trenches leading from the beach all the way to the tower and surrounded the tower with a moat. The resulting flood of sea water allowed Hyrdas to swim inland and unleash their acidic spray on the tower, which melted its base and let it collapse down onto itself. General Bowman started running more drills. He made his soldiers dawn their combat armor, remove it, and put it back on again for hours at a time. Intensive target practice was mandatory, as was Level 10 Arena training.

One afternoon, Jasper sat in the common room working on a puzzle. He'd been receiving injections of the new drug almost daily. Slowly, the effects were becoming less severe, but he still sported a bruise or two on his belly from some intense kicking. Without warning, the tower shook with a loud boom! The lights went out for a split second before the red emergency lights started flashing and the alarm sounded. "WARNING. WARNING. PERIMITER BREACH. ALL RESIDENTS REPORT TO YOUR DESIGNATED EVACUATION POINTS. WARNING. WARNING. PERIMITER BREACH." Again, there was a deafening rumble that shook the tower.
