"Come out," Lucius called out, hearing something moving within the bushes after having walked for a good distance within the perimeter of the camp.
"Captain?" A familiar voice called out in reply. It was Alpha's right hand.
"Ah, so it was you guys. We need to work on your stealth, all that noise, if I was a hunter I would've been feasting on you by now," he said as several leaflings came out of hiding.
"Noise? I'm certain we didn't make so much as a sound," one of the leaflings murmured.
"Captain, you've... evolved?" Alpha's right hand asked, staring at Lucius.
"My mission was a success. I take it you've seen the changes in Pagan as well," Lucius replied as he walked towards the camp with them following behind.
"Ah, so that was you're doing, Captain?"
"Yes, yes. And soon the whole commune will be like that," he said, the camp finally coming into view.
"How have the leaflings been doing? Anything happen while I was away?" Lucius asked.
