[quote=Zasada][color=f6989d]"Mayor Uma I take it, Eh? Zasada from the Haynek institute. Apologies for the sudden intrusion but my team and I seem to find ourselves crashed and somewhat stranded and in need of a bit of information. I volunteered myself to speak with you on my teams behalf."[/color][/quote]

"[color=pink]Haynek Institute? Ohhh! Yes, yes, we've been expecting you![/color]" Mayor Uma lit up as she remembered. "[color=pink]I received a missive from your organization that several teams would be coming for a research expedition. Welcome, welcome![/color]" The Kuranta woman grabbed your hands to shake. "[color=pink]And you crash landed? What? How? Are you alright? Are you the sole survivor?[/color]"

"[color=green]It's the forest, Mayor. It got to them.[/color]" The Archosaur answered. "[color=green]And there's more of 'em. Mostly unharmed, they're just... you know.[/color]"

Mayor Uma understood what he meant and her face grimmed. "[color=pink]I see. Well, let me know how I can help you and your team. Anyway, welcome to Riventor! It's not much, but it's home.[/color]" She finished. "[color=pink]Umm, where will you be staying if I may ask?[/color]"

[quote=Will-O-Wisp][color=F0A485]"I agree with [u]Iby-chan[/u], this could be big yeah? I'm not an expert on oripathy or anything...but surely something that has these kind of affects has that potential yeah to be useful yeah? Even if it itself doesn't prove to be involved in the cure, maybe it could help lead to something to help treat Infected? I mean..regardless this is a big discovery!"[/color][/quote]

"[color=orange]Well, if you put it that way...[/color]" Wu replied.

"[color=springgreen]Ah! Wisp, wait! Be careful![/color]" Wu and Ibon sprinted after [u]Will-O-Wisp[/u] towards the two houses in the northern outskirts of Riventor. They soon got to the house that reeked of chickens only to find two people there knocking on its front door.

Meanwhile, [u]Medivac[/u] had knocked on the house's door with [u]Radiant[/u] carrying the mad woman clutching a key. The door was unanswered when a Vulpo girl arrived and met them. "[color=orange]Wisp, hold on! We shouldn't separate![/color]" A male Feline with a shield followed after her alongside a Liberi girl.

"[color=orange]Ah, sorry about this, Mister and Miss. We're just...[/color]" Wu was about to apologize to [u]Radiant[/u] and [u]Medivac[/u] when he realized they didn't exactly look like the locals. In fact, they were familiar to him. "[color=orange]Wait a second, you're Haynek Institure Operators. Yeah, you're part of the research operation.[/color]" He smile was wide. "[color=orange]Thank goodness, there are more survivors. Err, who's that girl you're carrying?[/color]"

"[color=springgreen]...W-Where's Dragonheart?[/color]" Ibon said as she searched around for the Operator. Indeed, it appeared that [u]Will-O-Wisp's[/u] landing partner was suddenly missing.

"[color=orange]Damn it! Damn it! DAMN IT! Not again![/color]" Wu furiously kicked some dirt. "[color=orange]This is why we shouldn't separate![/color]"

The two Operators stayed put for the moment. The ripples in the swamp's waters increased. The things that lurked underwater were converging on the duo. When they were at the water's edge, they all stopped.

*WHOOSH*

A large black monstrosity leapt out of the water and hurled itself unto [u]Scathach[/u]. Fortunately, the Operator was quick and she managed to evade it. The creature landed back into and under the swampy water. It was but a glimpse but the two Operators definitely saw that the creature was reptilian with scaly claws and tail. It was no crocodile or alligator though, it looked more like a black-green lizard or salamander. [u]Scathach[/u] certainly saw the rows of jagged teeth when it attempted to take a bite out of her.

But most of all, the swamp creature's limbs and body shape wasn't that of a typical reptilian. Instead, it looked humanoid. Regradless, the swamp was full of them and they appear to think that the two Operators were meals. [u]Scathach[/u] and [u]Cardinal[/u] should probably vacate the area soon.
