He says, "Wait a minute." And leaves the house. He comes back after about 30 seconds with a grim expression on his face. "I figured as much. It's one of their ships." He says waving his hand generally in the city's direction.
 
-------------------------------
'I'm not accusing you of anything. I'll let you get to your own conclusions. I can fix your ships for me but... the components I'll need belong to the strongest creation in that city." He smiles sadly. "So if you ever want to leave here... good luck."
 
"Wait, there's a city? I I didn't see anything like a city- not even a town or a ruin- on that map in my ship," I ask George as Tyler and Jensen start to make their way toward the door.

"Also, who's 'they', and what's this 'strongest creation' you speak of?"
 
"Okay guys. I will go fly and recon the city. You guys can follow me but wait for me till you go in"
*flys off to the city while cloacked"
 
"And this 'strongest creation', I guess, is what they used to take over the city?" I ask while waiting for Soaras to return with news.
 
After I finished my coffee, I ask: "Sooo, where are they know? Just in your old city? And how many are there?"
 
-------------------------------
"No, not really. They didn't need the strongest creation to defeat us. We were screaming, people dying in the streets, bodies cut in half. That ultimate weapon was one of the things that killed the stragglers. By knocking over the buildings. With ease." He says as Soaras decloaks next to him. Then, they both speak in synchrony, "There are thousands."

As George explains this ultimate weapon, I envision some kind of gigantic, skyscraper-smashing robot. I look at my staff, which seems far, far too small to be any use against such a colossal machine. And thousands of... what, more of those goblin-cyborgs? A few of them were barely a threat to us, but even facing a dozen, we could easily be overwhelmed. And even if we could somehow draw them out of the city a few at a time, who knows how fast they're reproducing?

Nonetheless, this could explain why the city didn't show up on my ship's map.

"We need a plan..." I say after pondering the situation briefly, completely at a loss.
 
"George. do you have any idea about how they are produced, How they are powered? Are there others like you who may know more about them?"
 
"Well, Me and Soaror, could try to spy these goblins. But I don't think I could get out as safe, as I could go in"
 
*the door is still open*
"Yeah i agree we should all go together. George, can you show me the plans for your little robot? They could come in useful.
 
-------------------------------
"They.. " he pauses before continuing, "They're sent to crash here in spaceships. Look, if you defeat enough of them and absorb enough of their lives you could defeat their ultimate creation."
