((Timejump to morning.))
Aron had slept in his room, and added his name on the roster as 'assistant emergency medic' for the cars. He couldn't join in on the hunt itself as he had never wielded a gun, or ridden a horse even for the horse-heavy community. There were few new names on the list as people realized that if they were going to do something in the hunt, they needed to get on the list now so an accurate number could be gotten.
Aron had gotten an confirmation from Thalberg that he would be coming, along with two Unimogs and a bush plane, the only ones cabable of traveling in such environment, and the only ones interested. The unimogs would also have fuel trailers behind them for their own rations.
Daniel had been with Liska, being a facinated father-to-be. He had been with Liska for the rest of the day and night. When he woke up, he did not dare to wake Liska up. He got in the kitchen, made some fries and left it there for her on a covered plate. There was still no mayo in the compound. Had he been in a world that had some in the same state, he would have opted to travel all the way there.
Daniel reported for radio duty for a morning shift. He used the lull of the morning to check the major news sites and feeds for anything interesting. Sometimes he wished that they had the keyword filter, that they would get the articles they wanted automatically by some keyword.

Ebony had slept heavily through the night. She still didn't feel well and was not too keen on moving around too much. Recovery from yesterday's relapse was hard on her and keeping on her tires because of the arrival of her lawyer had made it worse on her health.
Awake now, the Viper just lay on her rug and writing quietly in her new notebook that she had gotten for her "birthday" a few months ago. She was up for some light conversation as well.
*****
Delfina had gotten alot of advice from Dawn and Misty, who were there with her in the Arena as she tested her shapeshifting abilities for the upcoming hunt. She managed to mold her tiger form into something more streamlined, like the lean body of a mountain lion. That was exhausting work and she had to call it quits to go to her room to sleep it off.
In the morning, she decided to take it easy for awhile and build up her energy, but was also in an exercising mood and was jogging around the complex.
*****
Sapphire was sleeping against Kitt that morning, savoring his warmth and closeness. She had spent the entire day with the GTO after his father had arrived at Ash Mountain and it looked like she was easily sliding into the relationship role.
*****
Very early in the morning, Jessica Redfeather had woken up and had gone out into the desert for her daily morning ritual. She took a stick, a few rocks and feathers, a rug, fuel rations, and materials to make a lean-to tent.
The old Cobra arrived at her spot, which was a arroyo that hasn't seen rain in months, set up her camp, and then set about building the fire for her tribal ritual, of which she never failed to observe. It was how she used her shamanistic powers.
When the fire was started, Jessica rolled out the rug and sat upon it. She began to chant ancient Navajo in order to call upon the spirits of her ancestors for help and guidance.
(((((OOC: Not sure how to go about the George Sanders plot... Need a little help with this...)))))

Phoenix had tend to Gryffin, feeding him before he went back to sleep, still worn out from his exploring the other day. "Hey Ebs can I ask you something about StreamLiner?" she asked softly.
~~~~~
Kitt had started to stir but stayed where he lay when he felt Sapphire's weight against him.
(((Well George needs to find his way to Cortez somehow. And maybe have someone there see him...)))

Ebony blinked and laid her notebook down on her hood to look at Phoenix, "Yeah, sure. What is it?"
*****
Sapphire soon began to wake up... but snuggled closer into the GTO's side.
*****
A dark slate grey Mitsubishi Eclipse was driving down the road toward Cortez. He had gotten directions from his lawyer friend, whom had told him that he was going to there to meet him when he got there. George Sanders was glad that he wasn't going to have to do this alone and had some help.

Egill was in one of his several offices all around the US. He knew that some of them were monitored, and had simply stopped renting those. While he had several cases going on, he let some of his employers deal with them, they were quite mundane and barely worth his attention.
The one thing that had his attention were the humans. He had spent a long time reading the archives they had made public, and any information. It was bit too early to know the fact from fiction, so he regarded as anything not approved by humans as something to take lightly.
Egill had been unable to seize the humans when they were vulnerable because of one thing he was now regarding as a hereditary condition. But it didn't mean he had other ways of getting information not quite in public. And Rodgers had spoke of some of it, and maybe had more.
He moved a modest amount of money to an offshore account owned by Rodgers, then picked up his untraceable one time cellphone to make a call to the number that he himself had verified as Rodger's personal number.

"Its about what he was asking me," Phoenix said. "He was asking me more questions about me than about you."
~~~~~
Kitt smiled as she snuggled into him more. "Sapph..." he said softly.
~~~~~
Rodgers was on his way to Cortez once again, a frown on his front as memories of what brought him here last.
He blinked as his cell system rang as he pulled into town. "Rodgers..."

"What kind of questions?" asked Ebony, raising her eyeshades a bit in curiosity.
*****
The cobalt racer opened her violet eyes slightly and smiled, "Mornin', Kitt..."
*****
The slate grey Eclipse was going to take another hour to get to Cortez as he had never been to that town before.

"Herr Rodgers." Egill said. His accent was though not German or related, but something that some just couldn't place. "I wish to discuss business. If you feel indisposed to do so, you may find a nice motivation in a certain account in Cayman Island."

<<< Gonna be a little sparse tonight and away most of tomorrow, just to let you know. >>>
Boost was feeling well enough to move around a bit, and decided to go outside with his friends for some air. The wind was coming in from the northeast, from Cortez, with a bit of a bite in it as autumn progressed. His nose was taking in all the local scents that he had become accustomed to - humans, animals, aircraft. It was then that traces from a more distant source reached his nostrils, and he stiffened. At the same time, his nerves transmitted the memory of burning, though those parts had been long healed over or replaced. A growl escaped his throat.
"What is it, Boost?" DJ came up with Wingo alongside.
"That bastard...on his way to Cortez." Boost snarled. "Go tell Ebony, NOW!"
Kendall worked on his own notebook as he sat with Ebony, knowing that she wasn't feeling well at present. "So what do you think of meeting the team when they're moved over?"
Doc woke up, smacking his lips. He'd slept in a little later than he thought. He glanced around, looking to see where Raine had gone.
Liska woke up, and found the fries in the kitchen. Maybe later she could try to coax a few eggs out of the kitchen and make some mayo of her own.

Rodgers blinked for a moment and continued. "What kind are we talking about here?"

"I think it might be interesting," Ebony answered Kendall, "If they're anything like you..."
*****
George Sanders had managed to make up time when he accidentally took a wrong turn, but had found his way back to the main road with just a half-hour to spare.

"My client is seeking some information." Egill lied cool. "Some information that you have gotten a hold of. I will be willing to pay in currency or anything material, other information or even some services."

Rodgers tapped his antenna for a moment. Ever since he'd been fired by Phoenix he had been short on jobs. Especially after the human trial. "We might be able to come to an accord, I don't like discussing matters like these over phones. To easy to use against someone, and I am meeting a friend soon..."

"In Cortez?" Egill said quickly to grab his attention so that he would not hang up. "Either you are dealing with the likes of George Sanders, or are looking for trouble. I have a moderate client list, some of which who may be in a need of a new employee who did the same services as you did for Graystone."
