[ It's an ungodly hour of the night as these things go, with both Misato and Gildor's minds flickering to announce their presence to all. Forceful and unapologetic, for her part, while urgent and unsettling, for his part. They insist on your attention. ]

( Everyone. We found something out there beyond the barrier. It was too dark for us to see much-- )

(Or anything, for some of us, but-- )

( But it's massive-- )

(Big as the shuttles that brought us-- )

( And predatory. At least, it seemed pretty clear that it wanted to take a chunk out of us. Some of you found tracks the other day, right? Let's talk. )

( Do you think we could kill it? Any of us? )

[ Since Misato is unlikely to leave it alone. ]

( Some certainly seem to think they can, but my experience with bringing down creatures this size relies on teamwork. )

[ He suspects the same, and not just of Misato. Several hosts are buzzing with the unspoken idea of bringing down a giant monster, and Gildor doesn't like any of it. ]

( I really do hope it doesn't come to that. )

[deployed]

( I don't want to find out what kind of teamwork it'll take to kill something that's got you so spooked. )

[ Clearly nothing spooks Misato so her opinion is invalid. ]

( Have you heard any gossip about things that live on this planet? )

( Beyond the Elin and their little mechanical sheep counterparts? No. The Meradans tell wild stories of giant sea monsters, but I've heard nothing of Hyrypian beasts that match this one. )
