The Flayed Ones. That was the name given by the local Wookies to the Saeva Simius now. The Stealth Talismans didn't explode on Wookie flesh, even when dead, so what was the solution the Collective had came up with? They had skinned the wookies and worn their flesh, thus the Talisman would treat the Saeva Simius like something a Wookie was wearing and cloak them.

The Lance Humans had, themselves, retreated to the tunnels to gaurd them from hostile incursion. The Overseer commanding the force, now finished constructing the launcher, was planning his next move. His soldiers were quick to bring back any intact bodies, they needed their nutrients.

"This one can not say the same" The Officer said as he tapped several commands "The Collective would like to propose an coalition against the Equestrian Empire and thus possibly the destruction slash enslavement slash absorption of the races who refer to themselves as Equestrians. No restrictions on the destruction against their people, with but one request. The Collective prefers their princesses be taken intact, if possible, but not required. What says you?
