About an hour passed.Thankfully, there seemed to be no other thing around except for a smaller group of pack hunters tried to make their way in and failed and moved on. Then  the team decided on dragging the carcass of the dead beast in for research. For a first day, it was quite the tense one. Certainly quite the story for HQ. However, everyone was still on guard as there is still a chance of death from any night predators.
It was still about 1:45 (in terms of earth-time.) the humid air seemed unusually cold this hour, but it was probably just a draft of wind.
After that the squad decided on using a sleep shift schedule.
