Spaceships and Magic, What Could Possibly Go Wrong? Chapter 137: Snoop

Our primary job, as people were being teleported down to the surface of the planet, wasn't actually anything to do with the people that were arriving.

We were on the lookout for anyone trying to snoop around, causing the refugees that had arrived on Actaeon any undue stress in this incredibly trying ti.

One of the many things that had been listed in the dossier that I had been given as a brief prir on Actaeon is that many of the people that already lived here weren't actually all that happy with a few million new lifeforms arriving on their world.

For the most part, Actaeon was actually one of the more segregated worlds that had put themselves under the protection of the Guard.

Prespian city had been a complete lting pot of cultures and people, with races from all over the galaxy coming to join the society that had grown in the gabuildings.

This, however, made a great deal of sense.

For all intents and purposes, Prespian City had always been built as a colony that could be considered safe harbour from attack. Unlike Actaeon, it had no species of its own that could claim the land or, well, water of the world for itself.

The people of Actaeon weren't necessarily xenophobic or against new people arriving on their planet, in fact for the most part they rather liked the intermingling of their species with others- as long as it was done in a controlled way.

If anything, it reminded a bit of Australia or the UK just before I had died, not that I necessarily agreed with any of those political leanings.

Either way, the major thing that we were likely at risk of being harassed by were dia drones, looking to get a quick scoop from one of the scared refugees that were being herded into their new hos.

I didn't mind if the cara drones stayed out of the city, as they were currently doing, hovering far away with their lenses trained on the new arrivals. But, if a single drone ca to harass a single refugee it would end up in a scrap heap sowhere gathering rust.

These were the terms that were set out by the Guard Matrix, it wasn't even just being harsh. Any drone that got too close would be shot down, and then the broadcaster that was using said drone would be fined and sanctioned.
