May be a bit harsh but i feel like i've read this sort of story before.

I enjoy stories like this one that really fill out the OPR lore, great characters with some great interactions between them, thanks for the cool story.

Great world building.

I enjoyed this story very much, especially Moonbiters name and doglike actions

I really like this story. The growing trust between the two leaders and the clever potential solution to fighting the swarm was very cool. I don't think showing the final confrontation even mattered... the real story is the friendships we made along the way :P

You did a great job anchoring the story in the GdF setting just with Moonbiter's equipment. Everything flowed nicely and the ending was a great cliffhanger.

Thanks. I meant to contrast them with Mir'Zam's pristine advanced equipment, but had to cut down for wordcount :P

I feel you there; the wordcount was my worst enemy this time around.

Nice world-building and good use of contrasting factions to enhance the theme.

Thanks! I had an interest in using TAO and Jackals even before the theme was revealed, and turns out Jackals are prefect for the prompt!
