"So we're going to be meeting up with the other group in about two hours," Sannish informed the young hunters, "they are a mixed group, human and Katzu. No Weyland-Yutani connections, of course. Mama wouldn't let us into that mess."
Braig glanced at Dilan, who was glancing back at him. The Old Cat seemed less annoyed about meeting up than he usually was...there must have been some kind of merchanting in the making. Or old friends. Or, possibly, one of his children who had moved away and joined the other group. Alright, there were many reasons, but still. "Am I boring you, kittens?" asked the second in command, getting a "SORRY!" from both young men.
They did not want Kiziah to find out that they weren't paying attention. Not with regards to Xenomorphs. Anything else? Sure. Xenomorphs? No. Kiziah would not allow people who didn't pay attention to go on a hunt...and while other dangerous things were led by whoever was there, Xenomorph hunts...
history proved that women had a better survival rate, even if nobody could quite figure out why, so the Clans leaned into it. They had women lead the hunts. Braig and Dilan were just old enough for their first hunt...and this other group? Had a young woman who was also just old enough.
Two weeks to get used to working together. Then?
Xenomorphs.
