"I imagine most of us are on the side that isn't hammering out keys off left and right," Bug snorted. "The few of us that can still think about sides, that is."

"No clue. We found him in a torched field before we met Roland and he sort of just tags along. Really creepy, but useful?" Jackson shrugged. "I could do without the violence but at least he doesn't consume resources."
