Rui pressed a button his standard-issue mission-tracking device that indicating arrival at the mission location, and another one right beside it, indicating the commencement of the mission. The reconnaissance part of the mission was rather simple, albeit long and tiring.
He had already begun the grid search as per mission guidelines. He divided the Shaia Plains into one-acre squares. One acre was the largest area over which he had confidence of detecting the target of his mission, any larger and the input was too undecipherable.

Using some convenient standard-issue tools for hunter-class missions, he was able to begin his grid searching process rather seamlessly.
