Jaune POV
Well, Long Beach were quite agreeable to the term despite how difficult they were to open up negotiation. The scouting overlord sent another update ling(zergling). So the Slave camp got a 15 foot high concrete walls. There is a 100 feet no go zone between the wall and any of the other building. The Camp is broken up into three sector(Slave. Guard, and Processing). The Slave sector is closest to the mine. The Guard sector is to the west of the slave camp while the dust processing sector is to the east of the camp for some reason. There an electric fence separated the slave and guard quarters. The scouting ling manage to go up the guard side of the wall and jump over the electric fence from one of the near by building, to the slave side during the dead of night. Damn, if grimm were as smart as my zerg humanity would have died a long time ago. It was cloudy so the Overload was able to connect to the ling but now the clouds have scattered and the overlord need to move to a safe position. I will get there by sunset(8 hour ride from Long Beach) so I should be able to rush the place at night.
"Percus send like 20 drones as well."
"Alright but they will probably show up at around sunrise."
Ok so the processing side of the wall should be my point of attack because there would be the least resistant and it would give the rebels time to calm/convince the other faunus that my Zerg are not grimm. But sneaking into a slave camp should not be this easy it's a slave camp a center of negative emotion a beacon for grimm. So why didn't the automated defenses activate to shot down the ling before it scaled the wall? Charging into those defences(if any) would deal major casualty to my forces which could cost me weeks of resources. If I could get the faunus rebels to sabotage the power then I could just storm the place. Darn if only the overlord telepathy for non Zerg was a longer range. For comparison the Zerg to Zerg communication is two miles but Zerg to non Zerg is only half a mile. It is going to be impossible to lower the overlord to lower without getting spotted. Ilia just maybe.

The Moon already in the sky when we ended our "shifts". I move with the mass to get our dinner ration. After I grabbed my ration I headed for the roof. The sky has some clouds but the shattered moon is still visible. The moon, it beautiful in the way of it my be broken but there still enough there to let you form an image of what it would look like whole. The flapping of wing draws my attention to my right and there I see the zergling from before(I think). It makes this weird sound and then turn around and take off but then its stop. Turning its head back to me it make that same sound again. It repeated the came process another two time. "Alright I'll follow." I follow the zergling jumping from roof to roof. I eventually found myself right at the edge of the slave ground a simple(but powerful) electric fence is what separate me from the processing center. The processing center is on the other side of the slave camp so that it forces the human to go thru the slave ground which also lets them take care of us if we wake up late or being to happy. I took cover in the alleyway of the warehouse as a light makes its sweeps of the area. The zergling make a sound to drawn my attention the picture on the ground was simple a lighting bolt with an X on it. "You guys need my help in sabotaging the generator?" The Zergling made a higher pitch screech and bobbed its head up and down as if saying yes. So Juane want the power out but grimm aren't the bothered by electricity it's meant to keep us from messing with their shit. "I'll see if the resistant is willing to help." but I doubt they will not as tho they can trust in Jaune. I don't really care if it's a setup at this point after all what's left to lose. Well, no use thing about it now I might as well get some sleep in while I can tomorrow going to be a rough day.
Jaune POV
I had to delay my plan for another day. My forces are just waiting around a nearby hill which is a 10 minute run distant for my lings. To confirm my suspicion I sent three ling to see if there were any automated defenses and yes I was right they do have some they are taylor to mowing down lots of weak grimm. I assume there was a malfunction yesterday cause the way the defense were acting. The defence seem to be responding to some sort of test that or the flamethrower have a half a mile reach but I highly doubt that. This camp work for something bigger, no dust merchant have ever came from the west and I have so many nearby town they could have been trading with but aren't. There clothing are to similar like they are exact duplicate of each other which is odd cause all the town I have observed the people made their own cloths such are the way of these people. The snowflake symbol on there back belong to a dust company well know for there quality and prices.
"So I got some news some of the pool we were guarding disappeared." Pecus reported. Great now my GE(grimm energy) gathering are reduced and some of the extractor are now basicly useless.
"How many have we lost?" please no more than five.
"23 of them closed." one fourth of my GE income gone right before I start a war with a cooperation. And now that I think of it my forces has yet to report a single grimm in the past day.
This is so not a coincidence but the only answer are in the grimm world and there no way on Remnant that my army going to beat her. No, calm down one problem at a time. This slave camp is really needed the dust would help open up relationship with those stubborn swamp dwellers of the north. "Also I think the prototype for the newest edition is done."
"Really already?"
"Yes with our new access to the land beyond Long Beach they had a very interesting sea animal. It had four leg and a circular armor now what make this creature interesting was that when the ling attack it the design of its armor made the attack slide off, significantly reducing the damage it would take compare to standard armor design. The human at Long Beach called them turtles. Since some of them are done I'm sending them over for a live test."
"On field testing well they will give this army it's much needed range." 600 ling from 12 town, 15,000 energy use for this attack. "Before I forget how much energy does the design takes to make."
"Currently it take 400 energy." eight times that of a ling but when I first design the ling they were 100 energy now they are 25.
