... Other types. My planet was destroyed a long time ago.

[holyspirits]

Oh. I'm sorry to hear that. [ why do so many of you have such horrible backstories. ] May I ask what happened... ?

[fightolive]

Have you ever heard of The Swarm?

[holyspirits]

Another unfamiliar term, I'm afraid.

[fightolive]

It's alright. I'm glad you didn't have to encounter them.

The Swarm is made up of giant insects. They're the remnants of the Aeon of Propagation. The... blessings it confers is near limitless replication.

That's what attacked my planet years ago. They fought back, making weapons to combat the threat. In the end their weapons outlasted the civilization.

[holyspirits]

[ oh. extra bad. ]

So a lot of giant bugs came to destroy your home. [ zuriel. ] But... why? What did they want with your planet that they deliberately came to attack you?

[fightolive]

[ That's basically what it boils down to. She won't disagree. ]

I don't think they wanted anything. The Swarm was like... a natural disaster? They attacked whatever they came across.

[holyspirits]

That makes more sense. Not that it's any easier. [ actually it's more sad because you can hardly plan for that. ]

What... happened to the people of your planet? How many were left?

[fightolive]

Most of them are gone.

I don't know how many are left, but it can't be a huge amount...

Glamoth fell a long time ago.

[holyspirits]

I'm sorry to hear that, Firefly. [ like damn. ] Where... did you get to somewhere safe after, at least?

[fightolive]

[Can anyone call being an interstellar criminal safer than war crimes?]

I wasn't on my own anymore...

[holyspirits]

[ our cutest lil war criminal... ]

That's a start. I would consider that a good thing.
