Deucadons. Air. Part 2

Yesterday, we discussed the inherent absurdity of the whole Deucadon situation. However, it was necessary to include them in Rome's Revolution to make the plot move forward so I glossed over the impracticality. They are very interesting characters. There will be a short story about the origin of the Deucadons in The Vuduri Companion (to be released later this year) which will cover the crash landing.

Today I want to consider the question I raised yesterday: Are we really supposed to believe that the Deucadons, some 50,000 strong, hid underground and were attacked just once by the Vuduri and cowered down there forevermore?

We know that the Deucadons regularly sent scouting parties to the surface to collect information and materials. We know that they encountered the Vuduri exactly one time and the group was obliterated. I don't know how the word got down below that they were under attack. There was some mention of communicators in Rome's Revolution so we'll let that one slide.

We know that the Deucadons developed their invisibility cloaks and were able to go back to the surface, undetected. Were they going to just tolerate the situation?

The answer is no. They were getting ready to fight back. In fact, Bukky did allude to the fact that war was coming and they were going to return to the surface. They were going to take down the Vuduri if necessary. So it is a good thing that Rome brokered a peace before this happened.
