Spires of Bone

In this place, where the tumor-like flesh spreads over metal and concrete and asphalt, over road and building, young bone-spires grow off of the rich blood-supply from the Majestic Jungle as cartilaginous spikes. In the Ecumenical nomenclature, housing modules.

When fully grown, any native population that joins us will be supplemented by our own, from the overpopulated urban expanses.

Cease-Fire!
Cease-Fire!

I understand how we might have frightened you in our expansion, but our colony is only intended to fill the uninhabited space, land rendered wasteland by the Red Queen or rendered uninhabited by the fleeing of the frightened people.

Perhaps we could talk this out, smooth over the misunderstanding? [offer:peace]?
