PINCERS IV
<p>As horrid as the experience was for most serviteurs on Arturia, there lived a select few who didn't have to experience those conditions. The mud-beds, the reckless abandon and refusal to run clean water, no assurance of health care and adornments of rags which were the staple of the Marsh-dwellers weren't the lot of a few. </p><p>They were called: <strong>The Bugoise.</strong></p><p>It's not like these ones were spared or anything in their capture into Arturia. They were former Marsh-dwellers who offered up their fellow servituers to live in stabler conditions.</p><p><img alt="" src="/media/inline_insight_image/1000409481.jpg"/></p><p>Due to the conditions on the Marshes, some serviteurs tried to rebel and protest in boldness for better conditions, some tried to run away through the Ant Hills.</p><p>These defiants were ratted out to the Arturia forces by some Marsh-dwellers and were <strong>brutally</strong> punished for their resistance.</p><p>Jemima was the first rebel about two years ago. There were no means of care for her health in the absolute ramifications of it; even though she and so many others served as cogs to keep Arturia working.</p><p><br/></p><p>Some soon-to-be Bugoise heard her discussions her plans to protest with some other Marsh-dwellers and ratted them out to Arturian officers. On the day of her protest with her ragtag team and their makeshift weapons, they raided some of the ration stations.</p><p>They were then surrounded by officers.</p><p><br/></p><p>All of them were publicly executed, with Jemima's head severed and impaled on a pole. It was fixed at what served as the exit and entrance of the Marshes to serve as a warning.</p><p>Dan shared a piece of paper with Tom. "Those were blueprints of all the ration stations Jemima and her team were to raid." Tom looked up at Dan. </p><p>"I would know because I was part of the people she told about the plan", the paper was handed back to Dan.</p><p>"I just... didn't go with them that day" Dan said as he looked at Tom who was paying costly attention. There was an awkward silence in the room for a bit.</p><p>"Wow, I didn't know that", Tom sighed.</p><p><img alt="" src="/media/inline_insight_image/1000409482.jpg"/></p><p>Tom's mind was still made up to have some extra rations, death or not. "There is a part of the ration station that Jemima didn't get to. It's like a blindspot" Dan said, breaking the silence. Tom sat up.</p><p>The plan was simple: when they get to the stations to get their rations, Tom would slip through a vent at the end of a slightly dark alley which led to a room with a <em><strong>looot</strong></em> of rations. Luckily, around the time of enacting this plan, there would be minimal to no surveillance. </p><p>Dan told Tom that he was going to make some preparations before heading to the headcount and then the ration station where they would execute the plan.</p><p>"Death before dishonor, my brother" Tom said to Dan as he clasped his fingers on his shoulder.</p><p>Dan smiled before heading off to prepare.</p>
