Before Meesei and Hal-Neesa arrived, the atmosphere was fairly pleasant with Ariel greeting, hugging and talking with everyone. Even with Sabine letting her newer packmates go about their business in the camp, Meesei's tent felt crowded in short order. Although, what Meesei said suddenly made it feel less abuzz.

Reactions in the tent were quiet, but varied. Sabine grew silently shocked. Janius was confused and worried. Ariel covered her mouth with her hand.

Fendros glanced at the faces around him. He did not look happy, but he kept his emotions to himself. "Destroyed?" he repeated. He looked down at the table for a moment as if searching and then looked back up at Meesei. "Did you learn this from the Psijics? Surely they knew something that could be done about it."
