"The Psyker's are about as useless now then when we we started this operation. They keep babbling about a presence amongst us. I've had guards posted at each of their quarters." The Colonel replied, the annoyance in his voice apparent. "At the moment we're doing our best to figure out where the bodies could have gone, but there is another reason for the call..." He cut off, the sound of paper unrustling heard through the vox. " We were finally able to get some more information on the planet itself and you may want to watch out for the wild life..."

".....What sort of wildlife are we talking about sir? over." she asked into the vox caster. 'Like we need more problems.' she thought to herself as she shook her head.

"Well Kroenon, from what If I'm reading this right, They've got a species classified as Pavida Volatilia, Translates into Terror Bird." The Colonel let that hang for a minute before continuing" Apparently there's a large species of flightless bipedal bird that roams the area your signals coming from. It stands at around 4 meters tall, it's got dark, black and red feathers, a head measuring at over a foot and half long with a beak capable of biting through bones and weaker metals with ease, and claws. Things can ran about 33 miles per hour. Largely carniverous. "

She didn't press the button so the colone did not have to hear what she said next. "Birds, I got to worry about Emperor damned birds." Shelia said in disbelief. Pressing down on the button she asks. "Is there anything else we should be aware about sir? over." she asked, wondering what else is on this planet now.

"Well you may also want to stay clear of the river banks. The papers say that there's some sort of indegenous amphibian. Rather big from the pictures, If I'm reading this correctly, Novacula Rana , known by the locals as the Razor Frog. Measures at around a meter wide, 4 feet tall, and 2 and a half meters long. The lower half is mostly soft along with it's underbelly, but the upper half is covered with patches of pin needles that it's able to shoot outwards at it's prey. The pins can retract due to the sinew and are about as long as your middle finger, coated with a potent toxin capable of paralyzing a man in about five minutes. It's an omnivore that's known to be very territorial and in this case, most of the river are it's territories." More rustling was heard from over the vox followed by shouting, judging from the voice it was the Colonel." Well Kroenon, that's about all we're able to gather. Most of the area's species were exterminated after colonization."

She looks the vox caster weirdly before she spoke into it again. "Colonel, is there anything wrong? over?" She asked, hearing the yelling and other background sounds.

[Prosperan Son]

" It's nothing Kroenon, just yelling at these incompetents , we've got barely any information as it is and all they've managed to give us facts about the wildlife.." The Colonel responded, clenching the bridge of his nose in frustration.

"Affermative sir." she said with a smirk under her Krieger gasmask. "Is that all, or shall I return to our mission now sir? Over." she asked, thinking it probably was all that he had now.

[Prosperan Son]

" That's all for now Kroenon. Just remember to update.Over." He replied bluntly before closing the link, not waiting for her reply. Charles looked up at her, waiting for her to return the vox.

"Danke." She thanks as she hands the unit back to charles. She goes back to the rest of the squad around the campfire. "Well this is great." She said as she sat back down on the stump she was sitting on. "Giant birds and frogs with posion darts. And dissappering bodies." She listed. "Sounds like just another day for us." Emily remarked with a smirk.

[Prosperan Son]

" Why does it sound like we're about to have one hell of a ride?" Sig asked, annoyance plastering his features. He took a quick rasp of the Cigar before puffing out a smoke ring. Charles joined the group at the fire side, Vox Caster set a side. " Birds. Of all the things we have to watch out for are giant birds." He spoke in disbelief.

[Armoured Priest]

"Do not forget the frogs." Emily reminded him with a puff of her cigar. "Wildlife or not, we still got a mission to complete." Sheliad added as she checked over her bolt pistol.

[Prosperan Son]

" Wild Life is the least of our problems anyway.." Charles spoke up, breaking his usually silent demeanor." We're still in enemy territory, they could hit us at any time and we'd never be able to tell."
