The progress of the group was blazingly fast. It only took each of them a few hits before they cleared out an entire hive, then moved on while Miranda had the Critterbots expand their network.
Gunner and Xela had originally made good progress, but their movement had been stunted, for one because they had cleared them together and also because they had so to make themselves useful to Darius.
However, without his commands, they had been unable to fully commit to the task. Obviously, the opposite was happening here and it was quite intense in its own right.
Unfortunately, this was just a type of work without the benefits. Neither Darius, Gunner nor Xela got any experience as even a peak Journeyman would only grant them 5 EXP at most.
Darius was not bothered by this. The Insects had a strict hierarchy in the underground, where one's placement had to do with the level of one's hive.
