Night came swiftly and Cabrera returned to check on the new members.
They arranged themselves before him, covered in sweat and bile of beasts, making all sorts of faces.
Cabrera gaze pervaded them.
"It seems you had a lovely day"
They stared straight on, exuding confidence.
Their temperaments had changed. Some had their self esteem boosted while others cowered, having come face to face with death.
He nodded. Many groups were missing at least one member, who were no doubt dead.
Now, they had an inkling of what they were meant to do here.
"Group leaders, present your catch"
The leaders came forward and brought out the corpse of the beast they hunted from their space rings.
All sorts of beasts lay dead as Cabrera inspected them.
For one, most beasts were skewered haphazardly, wasting good skin.
They would be sold for prices lower than usual.
'They have a long way to go' he concluded.
'But, it's definitely possible'
He could see it, thousands of workers killing beasts.
