Argilla nodded solemnly. "The surface of the planet is uninhabitable to all but those infected with the demon virus because God... the Sun's data is corrupted. It turns humans into stone. But a group called he Karma Society has a special dome which filters the malignant data from God. They have an army of soldiers infected with the demon virus, but they hunt the humans who don't live within the dome, the Lokapal, for food. My tribe, the Embryon, was working with the Lokapala against the Karma Society because they had one of ours held captive and she is the only one who can talk to God and stop him destroying the world." Not a war in the normal sense of the word, but their Tribe could be seen as warring with them.

She gave Nami a brighter smile and nodded. "I hope so." It would be nice to think so. "As long as people don't get in my way when I'm too hungry, I'm not planning on hurting anyone here." She sagged a little in relief that Nami at least hadn't seemed horrified or disgusted. It kmeant a lot, actually.
