Bab 723: Kru-gru-xa

'What now?' Khan wondered.

The shuttle's scanners were inferior to those of the ship. Khan's senses outclassed their limited range, even if most details remained unclear.

Khan couldn't directly sense the Scalqa, but the symphony carried their influence, allowing him to get a general idea of the situation. There were ten to fifteen aliens around him, and that number only indicated those strong enough to leave a lasting trace.

'Their settlement isn't too close,' Khan calculated. 'And we barely wasted a few minutes between the landing and multiple scans. They can't be so fast.'

After pondering briefly, Khan concluded that the Scalqa nearby didn't come out due to the flashy landing. That alien team was probably already in the area and had changed direction after noticing the event.

'A hunting party?' Khan wondered. 'They are a bit too strong for that. Maybe there are problems with the nearby tribes.'
