After lengthy discussion, Draco was able to broker negotiations with Center as well as his commander. Center even got on terms with the supreme leader, seeing how the humans have a vast amount of collective reserves of precious metals and gems. The Mercenary nature of the Saurians were finally revealed once Center settled for twice as much as the paranormal forces pay: 250 grams of gold a month or about nine ounces worth. And that was for each trooper. Center's haggling paid off. He even slyly promised that it will raise to 300 grams for very good work and efficiency.

For professional courtesy and after hearing of the deal, the science team decided not to autopsy the fallen bodies in respect. The new plan was to trade notes with their new allies. The engineers also got in on the ideas to trade notes with their dinosauroid colleagues. Due to the speed of the Saurians, the paranormal forces did not get wind of the new deal...yet.
