When others targeted Bloodfall, their goal obviously wasn't the small base itself, but its food supply.
Paige Summers was well aware of this.
So, when she heard of the attack on the main gate, she first found Sean Raines before heading over. She told him to take some men and reinforce the team guarding the crop fields.
She and Marcus Monroe had once given the same order regarding the experimental fields in Norgate.
"Protect them if you can, but if you're about to be overrun, destroy everything!"
Sean Raines understood immediately and went on his way.
He was rather arrogant at first, believing that with his skills, there was no way he'd let the enemy get the upper hand.
But he quickly realized things weren't that simple.
The enemy was clearly the same group that had rendezvoused with Faye Webb before. Most of them had the Earth Element Power and were experts at surprise attacks.
They tunneled through the earth, as agile as moles.
