"Zara, any progress with the piece of tech?" he inquired, eager to know if she had made any breakthrough.
Zara looked up from her work, her brow furrowed with frustration. "I'm sorry, Lord Hiro, but I still can't figure out what's disrupting the signal. It's unlike anything I've encountered before."
Hiro sighed, realizing that the scavengers' technology was indeed a complex puzzle. "Don't worry about it for now, Zara," he said, trying to reassure her. "There are more pressing matters at hand."
He turned to Tryth, who had been observing the exchange. "Tryth, you can go ahead. Thank you for showing us around."
Tryth nodded respectfully. "Of course, Lord Hiro. If you need anything else, please don't hesitate to ask."
With Tryth's departure, Hiro focused his attention back on Zara. "Zara, I need you to put this aside and prepare for the cremation this evening," he instructed.
