I.

It's midday when trouble seems to brew underfoot. Literally underfoot, in cases - wherever the Numbered are, they'll suddenly find dormice approaching them, running around their feet, in some cases up their legs, aiming to get their attention, and then running off - coming back again, running off once more in the same direction.

Trying to get the Numbered to FOLLOW.


II.

If Numbered decide to follow the mice, they'll be lead through the streets, fields, or whatever there is (in some cases, this might mean that the mice are trying to lead them through the military area aroudn the air base). Perhaps they'll run into other Numbered on the way - all mice seem to be leading those that they lead into the exact same direction.


III.

The direction of, it turns out, the tunnels under the cliffs. The mice will easily slip through the grates that bar the entries - the grates were made to keep humans out and let a tiny mice through easily. The Numbered, however... well, the grates were installed solid and sturdy to keep humans out. The mice will vanish in the tunnels and not come back.

Thom takes advantage of the moment of quiet to pull out his sketchpad from his backpack and scribble a quick message.

so sorry that took so long :(

Sam keeps an eye on the network messages, but most of his attention is on the cave, the smells in it, and looking for those little mice up ahead. They'll get there eventually, and have to deal with them.

The mice are still where they last saw them, sitting on the sides of the tunnel. They'll look at Sam and Thom when they return, but won't approach.

Gizmo immediately tries to push Thom away from the mice.

"They're still there! I knew they were scary mice!"

In his opinion the little mice were even scarier than the big mouse.
