Once they had finished one deposit, which didn't offer a lot of titanium to be extracted, they moved on trying to find more of the large black rock that had spots of silver-colored substance on the hill.
Whenever it wasn't Emery's turn to mine, he watched the three Zaiueons and became even more impressed as time passed by. He was extremely fascinated by their usage of the unique weapon called firearm, which was very useful on its own, but the way they also communicated using hand signals as they took the lead in scouting and eliminating the skyglazers that came their wave, making their movements efficient in setting up ambushes. The hand signals appeared to be a universal knowledge in their world.
