So this is a problem, Zhane thought as he surveyed the scene from a safe distance using advanced binoculars. The foliage of the forest was protecting him from any unwanted human gaze, and he picked a good spot to land his ship. It being night also helped to cloak his kneeling position on a nearby hill. But, it seems Zhane was late to the party as the ship that Spa'ark stole and crashed was being swarmed by humans. Judging by their clothing and gear, not civilians, and most likely a local human gov types.  

Zhane sighed as he continued to watch the scene. There is no way for him to get close and try to see where Spa'ark went without getting caught. He may look like a human and be good at disguising himself. But Zhane knows little about humanity or Earth from the limited research he did while travelling here from Korovia. Some backwater that has attracted some attention from other groups. Zhane is not sure why, but that matters little to him right now. Since these humans are in the way of his pursuit of Spa'ark. 

Maybe listening will help, another thought as he adjusted his binoculars, and now voices could be heard. Zhane shifted his gaze, trying to find a conversation or anything that could help him figure out where Spa'ark went. It took some time before he found an important conversation that would help him. A conversation between two agents, by the look of it.         

"We have searched the ship, and we have found no bodies, and it is empty, but there are signs that someone survived the crash." 

"The pilot?"

"Probably, but no signs of anyone or anything else on the ship." 

The male agent paused for a moment before speaking,"find the pilot." The agent sounded serious. "We do not know what we are dealing with, and Director Brand has enough to deal with now that we have another unknown alien on Earth." He sighed before continuing, "do we have any idea of where they went?"

"Based on what we could find, the alien headed west, towards the city." 

"Send a team, find whatever survived the crash, and do not cut corners. I want to know what we are dealing with even if it is just a pilot."

"Understand sir."

Zhane had found his lucky break and turned off the microphone of his binoculars. "So, into the city I go, and I should not be surprised that they survived," he said, talking to himself. A bitter-sweet truth, "they are in a dead body after all." Saying those words hurt him a bit, since it was not just any dead body. It was the body of Andros, his best friend. But Zhane would hide away that anger for now, so it would not get in the way of his chase. More so now that not only does Spa'ark have a head start, but he is not the only one looking for Spa'ark. 

But Zhane knows what Spa'ark looks like, unlike the humans here, so he has that going for him. He would linger for a time before leaving the area, and after making sure his ship was safe from being found by the humans. Zhane headed to the city, hoping to find either Spa'ark or clues where they went. Before these humans can, and now the hunt really begins. "I will stop them, Andros," Zhane repeating the promise he took before leaving Korovia. "I will stop them, old friend, for both you and the team's sakes."
