(party recruitment x2, Scorpino lady and her kids we just almost killed and Saras joined. Not anything important, no big deal. One thing of note is that the army's working on making weapon immune soldiers.)

"Already? Guess they're not wasting any time trying to get my core back in their hands. At least you're not trying to cash in on it. Guess I owe you a thanks after all."

Saras
"Only because it seems you have had a change of heart."

"You mean with the Exterminators? It's.. a long story, like I said. Wasn't even supposed to be part of this war, let alone wrapped up with them."

Corasi finally came out from behind the cliff and went towards Scias. Looks like you got some friends. But um, who are they? She was gasping a bit.

Saras
"I'm Saras."

Uh, hi. Im Corasi. She looked a little confused. Hexic, stay in there for a little while longer. She mumbled under her breath.

"Wouldn't go jumping to calling them 'friends' just yet. Saras is some kind of Protector and the sad sack of Scorpino over there is Ibu. Her kids are Pori and Uya. Bunch of Exterminators that should probably be dead, but figure they've got good information.. And I'm not killing kids, you know that already, shortstack."

Yeah I know, big brother. She added jokingly.

Saras
"You're right about not being friends,"

He patted her on the head playfully with a claw.
"Should probably get going unless we want to end up Exterminator bait again. You and Hexic can hop on my back if you want. Figure we're probably going to be on our feet a while, probably be safest for you two." He turned his head to meet the Scorpino's eyes with a huff of sparks.
"So, Ibu, you know anything else about those crossbreed experiments, like who's running it?"
