Team Recon is GO

"How are we going to know if they are?" Obsidian asks, his yellow eyes starting to tear up.

"Simple," you say, kneeling beside him. "We're going to check out those Hunter camps and see if they're there or not."

Obsidian's eyes brighten, but Onyx looks at you with concern.

"Are you sure?" she asks.

"Yeah, only a small group of us will go check out the nearest camps, and report back. The rest will wait here and set up some sort of camp."

"Alright, but who is going to check out the camps?" Onyx asks. "We are not letting Obsidian go, right?"

"What?!" he protests.

"Well, we're going to need one of you two to help identify who we are looking for," you tell the two Shadowans. "And we should leave one of us Tamaranians to help defend camp from any armed Hunters that may come looking around," you tell Blackfire and Flashfire.

Team Recon: Saffire, Obsidian, Flashfire

Team Camp: Blackfire, Foxy, Nuh, Onyx

Divided into your teams, you and Flashfire take Obsidian down and fly just over the tops of the trees. Blackfire and the other girls begin gathering what they need at the foot of the mountain.

It only takes a minute to come within range of the Hunter camp, and you dive below the tree line, continuing on foot.

"Keep as quiet as possible," you tell the others. "And if we must fight someone, no starbolts."

"Ok," Flashfire says.

You come to the edge of the clearing that the Hunters made. You can see a roaring campfire in the center, with two of their giant vehicles parked side-by-side.

You signal to Obsidian and Flashfire to follow you to the left. As you creep around the edge, you hear noises from the Hunters.

"Hey, bring that female over here!" a big, burly alien with a thick mustache grunts. "Lemme have a look at her!"

Another Hunter, a short toady looking one, drags a Shadowan female over to the mustached one. She didn't look any older than your sister. The mustached Hunter grabs her by the hair and lifts her face up. Obsidian can see her face in the light of the fire.

"Saffire! Saffire! That's my cousin!"

"What?" you hiss.
