Laughter erupted like a volcano when Magellan's crew spotted Uriel's expeditionary party and not just because of its reduced number. It was Luna's presence what caused their amusement as they made all the wrong assumptions.

They also thought Medusa was the strongest member of their party because she protected the alleged archaeologist and finally, they also assumed their leader was Nika and that she stayed behind because she knew their chances of survival were slim to none.
