We will begin at the main gate and back track the blood and trail Joshua and Katy left when they returned. It should take us to the area where they met the critters. They wounded on and it ran off bleeding so perhaps we can find their home base.
However they seem to be learning every encounter, so It would be best if we can do this without actually encountering them or getting their attention.

"Are we not learning ourselves after every encounter?" Kona asks. "Still, if we're forced to encounter them, we should not let them return with new information if we can prevent it."

That is very sensible Kona. I think I am going to like having you in my unit Paul said, well lets get going people. I am sure the trail leads in this direction.

"Sure whatever." Luki said with a shrug. He would rather just kill all the beasts and get done with it.

As expected the track led them to the area where the initial encounter with the monsters had occurred, the red stains in the ruins were now a rusty brown.
Paul took a knife and a small vial trying to get a stain sample to send to the lab.
Another path of fresher blood was nearby. Paul shuddered as they noticed two blood track leading from the area.

Kona inspects the fresh markings. He looks at the rifle, then at the dagger, makes a face and pulls the dagger out instead, putting the rifle over his shoulder. "One set goes north, the other northeast." He says.

"Why don't Kona and I take some men to the north and you go to the northeast?" Luki said.

Paul and his group started north east. They found the blood fading as they went. the reached a group of trees that seemed bruised and battered, "Hey! there is fruit up there, " Paul exclaimed, "can some one get a sample?"

"Lead the way Kona you seem to know how to track." Luki said with a nod.

Kona nods and starts leading his half of the patrol along the route made by the blood splatters.
The ruins seem to grow around the patrol as they travel deeper. Before long they pass the red tags that mark the end of the explored territory.
Beyond the edge of a large building, the blood splatters disappear into an open sewer grate. In the distance, Luki can just barely see what looks like a tall black tower.

Luki stops and looks up. Narrowing his eyes he tilts his head to side. "A tower? I thought these were ruins."
