The HPG report from Xi Galaxy's occupation of Glasgow was full of questionable events. Resistance forces were still active in the area around the former Blood Spirit Capital, but they were far less active than previous patterns suggested they should be, and sorties to exterminate possible concentrations yielded extensive data showing a general pattern of disappearance, wherein large amounts of equipment was stripped and abandoned, along with personal belongings but, toolkits, certain key systems, and food were gone.
Hannibal looked at the reports and it gnawed at him. They are leaving heavy equipment behind, but taking the core components. They are leaving nonessential goods behind, burying their dead, and taking the wounded. An enterprising Star Captain noted that a garden had been dug up in its entirety and that there were measures being used to make target sites appear inhabited at a distance.
Meanwhile, the remaining resistance units were fighting smarter instead of harder. Someone had gotten them organized and given them a primer on asymmetrical warfare.
Which was turning into another sort of problem-how can you punish with reprisals when the targets refuse to hold still and take it? When the targets might not even be there to take it?
The dezgra bastards were not playing right.
