Dr. Swift sat on the edge of the wagon and stared blankly as the remnants of the village were consumed by the flames.
"How'd the, uh, the study go, Doctor?" The same private muttered.
"Poorly," Doctor Swift muttered as he reached for a rag to clean some of the ichor from his clothes. "Insufficient data." He added as he clenched his jaw.
"I hear this is the last landmark for the villains. Apparently they blew up their own base of operations when they heard our boys were coming for them."
"Heh," Doctor Swift replied. "That so? We'll move out shortly, then."
"Yea!" The private declared. "That just leaves us and the green army once that other fortress gets ransacked."
"Yes," the good doctor muttered. "Seems we're nearly in the end game, now."
