As Rose had predicted, Carus' methods of getting rid of the Huldah in the field turned out to be impressively ineffective. They had, by pure luck, managed to catch a single Huldah in the traps, but the rest had known what was up and avoided the traps entirely. This had frustrated Carus immensely, as he had been so confident that his plans would work. Reach and Rose had listened to him complain to Morgain (trough one of the tablets that allowed the headquarters and outpost to stay conne...

((A small animal, with small round ears and a long tail scurried from the room on its six legs. Moon Stone saw a flash of grey as the huldah ran from the light of the hallway. )) "I swear they are multiplying!" Moon Stone exclaimed as she flipped on the overhead lights. She saw three more of the huldah, all a different color of grey, scurrying across the empty counters and down across the floor to disappear behind some shelving. "I need these gone! How are we supposed to ha...

This time it was Bridled King who was entertaining guests. Alastor and Nalla were listening as he explained what sort of prey and forageables were available in the area in the event that Tsidal was interested in a trade deal. ((He was currently showing them one of the bulbous, green basaraytz trees that was off in the distance, obscured slightly by the shimmering heat of the air.)) "Slices from the green part are said to be good for medicine, but the flowers on top aren't particularly useful ...

Skinkle and Geo huddled around the screen as Tanim made his way slowly across the screen with a dot. The two younger Tark'ee were eager to see the results of the project they'd helped with. Tanim pressed a button and the screen changed color. Skinkle and Geo leaned forward in unison, unable to hold back their interest. Tanim chuckled to himself in the background and shook his head. Youngsters- always so impatient. In truth, neither Tark'ee was all that young, but Tanim far exceeded the pair i...

((Murky waters rolled lazily through tight clusters of deep tree roots, the ends of which were deceptively far under the surface. The noon day sun was in the sky overhead, but you'd never know it. The light hardly found a way to dapple the trees, and a coolness accompanied the damp region, further emphasizing the lack of sun. Despite all of this, the waters and even the clusters of land that poked up from the murky depths were full of life- if one knew where to look.)) Fortunately for the thr...

Merra, Lairi, and Devo sat together on a grassy knoll. From far away they might appear to be engaging in any ordinary conversation, but the three were furiously debating how to go about procuring a Hojenst for the strange Tark'ee that had been found deep in the bunker. They hadn't spoken to the Tark'ee themselves, but word quickly spread- not just through Tsidal, but through many of the colonies, that the brave explorers bent on delving as deep into the bunkers as possible had stumbled across...

As it turns out, Hojenst pelts fetched quite a nice price. To Morgain's suprise, the merchant he had met up with to sell the ones that the colonists had hunted near the Mireh outpost had complimented the quality of them, claiming that rarely did he find pelts this pristine.   After hearing this, the leaders of the colony had seen an opportunity. Especially since the Xunari at the outpost had noticed an overpopulation of the nearby Hojenst. Having birthed their young e...

After Maema's adventure in Tsidal, Alastor and Nalla had come to visit Hakira and meet Professor Kee, who had been quite the gracious host but who had ultimately been a bit too busy to entertain for an adventure out in the desert. Now, Maema was leading Alastor and Nalla on a tour like she had been given, only this time instead of boats and beaches it was the vast deserts of Issiq. Or, it had been: now they were at the Stone Arches, and Maema was delighted to find that she spied a familiar fa...

It was on their way back to L'hatzif that the group stumbled onto yet another animal related problem. Woodland wasn't sure if she should be surprised at this point. ((Apparently, the well-travelled path the colonists had decided to utilize was chosen by a lonesome Nukap as the perfect napping spot. Woodland could hardly blame the creature, since the spot it had chosen was bathed in warm afternoon sunlight.)) Woodland almost felt like joining it- but ultimately decided that she would be juge...

"Damn it!" Carus swore, dropping one of his tools in surprise as he felt something small skitter past him. Reach glanced over, shooting him an odd look. Rose had noticed too, but she had simple snickered to herself and quickly gone back to work.   The colonists were surveying one of the Mireh fields- which to Reach and Rose was boring, dull and tedious work. Carus had claimed that it was important, and that the colony should be responsible with their environment and r...

Woodland certainly hadn't felt great about killing the Hojenst. Still, what had to be done had to be done, she supposed. She felt less guilty after Snap and Quartz had turned the carcasses into a wonderful soup later that week, after carefully harvesting the pelts and other useful parts off of the animals. She felt at peace knowing that, at the very least, the animal's death had purpose.   It was the day after they had the stew that Snap approached the three, wringing...

Koi frowned, handing the binoculars off to Woodland. "They've been getting closer lately." she mused thoughtfully, as Woodland took her turn looking at the herd of Hojenst that had made themselves at home across the bridge. The two had been called over to the Mireh outpost, with the colonists living there not entirely sure how to deal with the bovines. The herd had made their way over pretty recently, like...

Piopi was the only actual adult and she was busy, so when the researcher of Tsidal approached Professor Kee with an offer to visit the colony and the region, Maema was sent along to meet people. She had been greeted when she'd arrived by Alastor and Nalla, who were now escorting her on a bit of an adventure through the ocean's ranges. Currently Alastor and Nalla were supervising her while she dug in the sand along the beach of one of the islands. Maema was old enough to travel, obvious...

Maema was… well. She wasn't lost. To say that she was lost would imply that she didn't know where she was or how to get back home. She absolutely did! The real problem was that she was out of water. ((The pale sun was beating down on the golden sand and turning it scorching. Maema couldn't even hear any wildlife scratching around in this heat. She had tucked herself away behind a tall stone spire that was shaped a little bit like an animal's rib, but the sliver of shade was dwindli...
