 Rat  Recruits  
“The  black-­iron  devils  advance,  load  your  bows  and  shoot.”    
–Chief  Sharp  of  the  Rat  Recruits  
“The  bows  will  not  pierce  iron  hide  of  black-­iron  devils.  Retreat!  Retreat!”    
–Chief  Sharp  of  the  Rat  Recruits  moments  later  
   
Crisslyn  is  a  hive  world  constantly  built  upon,  the  highest  layers  are  newly  
built  while  the  lowest  corridors  are  millennia  old.  In  Crisslyn  prime  the  
lowest  layers,  now  a  good  two  and  a  half  millennia  old,  have  regressed  to  a  
feral  level  due  to  lack  of  support,  they  worship,  Beefourteen  the  god  of  
sustenance  rations  and  his  wife  Beethirteen  the  goddess  of  certified  
standard  quality  spring  water  as  their  highest  deities  for  through  their  
marked  ceiling  gates  they  bring  food  and  water  to  the  many  tribes  who  
wage  war  for  the  corridors,  hallways  and  storerooms.  
Occasionally  heavily  armed  troops  go  down  to  these  lower  deeps  to  buy  
recruits  as  slaves  from  the  various  tribes  and  for  the  tech-­‐starved  
tribesmen  even  a  common  datapad  is  a  priceless  treasure.
