‘Fists, we have one final duty to perform before we rest. Find every wounded and deceased Buckthorne man and see that he is removed from these blood soaked stones and taken care of.’
The men scattered all over the wall to pick up the fallen members of the Fists. Octans himself had battered into Cygnus’ shoulder to push past and helped a wounded man, supporting him under the arm and got him to his feet. As he walked past Cygnus, heading for the stairs, he couldn’t help but get in one last passing shot.
‘Better run along and find yourself a mop.’
