The scanner came back into the building as silent as it had gone out. Zmerr took it to another room so that it's light wouldn't wake Ren. He pushed the replay button and the room filled with blue light. The light built images of trees and people. In all blue, it was hard to identify if the people were human, but Zmerr had the distinct feeling the weren't. One definitely was a magic user, as his sword seemed to glow, making the rest of the image a little blurry. 

Zmerr turned the machine off and went to his bedside. He grabbed his plasma pistol and headed outside to see these newcomers. He was prepared to greet them or kill them if necessary. He came upon the little band of stragglers with his pistol up, ready to be used if need be.
