After returning to the camp, Lucius summoned Alpha to have a talk with him about perimeter control. He was certain that both Alpha and Hannibal would evolve today, which meant that they would be out of commission for a few days, so he wouldn't get another chance.
"Yes, Captain?" Alpha reported upon arrival.
"I need you to pick out a right-hand man that will report to me while you're out. You are aware that you will be out of commission after today's session, right?" Lucius replied as the other leaflings prepared for the photosynthesis session.
"Right-hand man?" Alpha asked, clearly confused by the concept.
"Who do you trust the most amongst your squadmates? Who would the others follow if you weren't around?" Lucius clarified, to which Alpha gestured towards a leafling that was currently talking to another.
"So you're Alpha's right hand, huh?" Lucius asked as the leafling appeared.
"Right hand? Not a clue what that is, Captain," the leafling replied.
