It's afternoon over the ruined city of Fairhaven, the sun high in the sky and starting to beat down on its citizens in the recent months. With the farms of New Dawn experiencing a blatant drop in growth and production, it's no wonder they called for aide from Zephyr agents. A new tent has been pitched just outside the southmost gate of New Dawn, nearby which stands a male anole in wait, hand held over his eyes for shade from the sun. A rifle held on his back with a strap, he is charged with the reception of the few coming to help restore the fruits of labor.

Kilsa walks through the farms of New Dawn with a a strange expression on her face as she look at the anole, "Hello, My Name is Kilsa, Nanite adept, How are things going for you today." She look over his form in almost a stange sort of longing gaze.

Angelily walks down from Nichole's hut and comes down to the farms. She looks around, not completely sure what she could do to help, but she was here none the less. Seeing the human and the anole she walks up to them, in her typical uniform, and introduces herself, "Angelily, how can we help?" She asks, knowing the need of help from Nichole herself.

Seeing the request upon the public board, Dio decided he'd do his best to provide his services to the people of New Dawn. The farm is quite the important source of food in these awful times, and he knew it'd be a huge blow to their society to lose such a wonderful source of food and community cooperation. As the time came to set out, silver lion Dio checked his pockets, combed his mane to perfection, and smoothed out his semi-formal suit. Reaching the destination, he observes the on-scene agents and gives them a friendly wave. "Greetings. Please allow me to introduce myself,

Seeing the request upon the public board, Dio decided he'd do his best to provide his services to the people of New Dawn. The farm is quite the important source of food in these awful times, and he knew it'd be a huge blow to their society to lose such a wonderful source of food and community cooperation. As the time came to set out, silver lion Dio checked his pockets, combed his mane to perfection, and smoothed out his semi-formal suit. Reaching the destination, he observes the on-scene agents and gives them a friendly wave. "Greetings. Please allow me to introduce myself," he says with a bow, "My name is Dio. How may I assist and could you please describe what the issue may be? I'm afraid I'm not too keen on agricultural matters."

Anbessa yawns softly as he follows the others towards New Dawn, him staring with half opened eyes as he marches towards where the Bulletin board told him to. With the thought of getting more friendly relations to another faction in his head, he wakes up fully as soon as he enters the area after the rest of the agents come inside. The human waves towards the Anole, stopping just a small bit away from the others. "Anbessa reporting in." He says, introducing himself with a few short words as he readjusts his own rifle strap that goes across his chest, making his M4 on his back rustle his suit a little. He glances towards the other agents that have reported, his silver eyes stopping at Angel, who he gives a short wave as well before returning his attention towards the Anole.

The anole is positioned outside of New Dawn, only somewhat nearby the farm while he waits. His tail flicks behind him upon hearing a woman's voice, a constant sneer painted on his snout as he turns to look at her. "Hola, senora. Antonio. It's times like these I'm glad I became a lizard." he smirks in her direction, which is quickly replaced by his sun-induced sneer. He wears a pair of military boots, along with tucked cargo pants and a white tank-top. Noticing the coyote, lion, and human show up, he gives each a nod of acknowledgement. "And here we are, amigos... glad you could all drop in." he greets the group, dropping his hand from his brow to cross over his chest with his other arm. "So... there's been less food, as you can see..." he starts to explain, motioning inside the gates with his head before dropping his arms to his sides and leading anyone not already in New Dawn in the direction of the farm. "We got this feeling it's not poor weather or bad farming. You know what I'm saying, chicos?"

The nanite adept shifts slowly into a four legged Canine form and begins sniffing around the area before speaking, "So what do you think the source of your woes are, Friend?" Kilsa says perky in upbeat in her canine forms darting between each of the people and getting a good scent of all those gathered not bothring with normal greeting since in her mind their sents will do and she already knows Anbessa and Dio. "Smell good around here, So many scents."

Angelily growls as Kilsa sniffs at her, but also sniffs back. Looking over to Dio and Anbessa as they arrive, she gives Dio a growl as well, but Anbessa gets a very happy bark as well as a hug and kiss, "Hi there Mate, it has been a while." she says before turning back to Antonio, "Yes, what do you think could have caused it?" She asks as she walks up to the plants and sniffs at them. She looks over them as well.

Upon seeing Anbessa arrive, Dio seems to light up a bit once he observes his choice of attire. Someone else wearing a suit? It's about time someone appreciated a bit of aesthetics! However, now wasn't a time to get distracted by personal matters. Though, he did cock his head at being growled at. Did he say something wrong? The lion shrugs it off and follows Antonio further. "Do you think any bands of mutants has caused this. Have you been threatened or antagonized by anyone as of late? Perhaps we should scan the farm for some evidence."

Anbessa nods towards the Anole, his hands having been going towards his own pockets... Thuogh they quickly reroute as Angel presses her lips against his, him hugging her back momentarilly as he lets out a soft chuckle. "Mhm, it has been. After this we need to catch up." The human says, him letting out a strange, faint purr from his throat before he turns towards the Anole, following the man. He stays relatively quiet otherwise, but listens intently, his eyes quietly glancing about the area as his hands do go into his pockets. He seems really unphased by the heat of this day, despite wearing full black. Though as his eyes happen upon Dio, he smiles back at the lion before giving a friendly nod to him.

Antonio watches Kilsa easily shift into a canine form to stiff around at everything, nodding in approval to her. After a brief glance over the group, he scoffs. "You think I know that already, vatos?" he asks them, seeming a tad short on patience. "I can't think of anyone that would do this, no... could be come poncy little gang of delincuentes for all we know. Feel free to look around the crops, but be careful. This is all we got, and it's not enough. Can't have a bunch of guys trampling our food." he warns, watching over everyone and occasionally taking a look atound. The coyote's searching comes up with little to no results, unable to find anything out of the ordinary with the crops.

After sniffing around a big Kilsa can spot a little metal pieces of metal. She looks around notices a little bit of needle thin pieces of metal. She then gives a loud howl to attract the attection, She can't really speak with the natraul voice box of this form so she begins to shift it subtle to talk. "I think I found something." She sits on her haunches near the metal peieces careful not to crush any plants.

Angelily doesn't find anything unusual about the plants herself, but when she hears the howl she turns to join Kilsa, "What have you found?" She asks looking over the metal and needle parts. She ponders a moment and looks over to Kilsa, then back to Anbessa and Dio, "What do you think?" She asks them all, picking up a piece of metel and holding it a moment before putting it down. She is very careful to avoid walking on any of the plants.

Dio enters the farm, taking tender care not to upset the already in-danger crops. At first, he uses his nose to sniff a bit at the air, trying to find any unusual scents. Then, he bends down and analyzes the dirt to see if he could find anything of interest such as strange hairs or objects. "Hmm, don't think I see anything," the lion says in reply to Angelily." Dio walks over towards Kilsa and eyes the piece of metal. "That's an interesting find you have there."

Anbessa quickly turns his attention over towards Kilsa as the howl is let out, the human carefully moving towards Kilsa. Barely missing crops, the human crouches as he reaches them, looking down at the various metal pieces with a raised eyebrow. He picks a piece up, then looks over the small shard of metal. He goes quiet as he turns it around in his fingers, though as he notices the more rounded parts, he soon perks up as he gets a look of recognition! "Oh! I know what these come from. These look just like Grenade shrapnel. Since there are no scorch marks... Musta came out of maybe Flashbangs or Smoke grenades." He says out loud, looking over towards the Anole. "Hear any Banging noises come from the fields? Or maybe see any smoke?" He asks, raising up to his feet after setting back down the grenade shrapnel.

The howl certainly grabs the anole's attention, stepping over the rows of plants to get where Kilsa is. "What'cha find, senora?" he kneels down to examine the bits of metal scrap that were discovered, about the size of coins or smaller. "The hell is this mierda? This doesn't look like farm tool scrap." he scoffs, standing back up before his attention is then directed to Anbessa. Eyes wide, Antonio shakes his head. "Naw jefe, we didn't see any smoke or anything. You sure that's what it was? Not shitting me?" he asks with a sliver of worry in his noramlly indifferent or standoffish tone.

The canine sit on her haunches waiting for a development that would require her help until then Kilsa makes sure to move out of the garden and in to a nice warm patch of dirt. The Labrador mutant gives a long stretch which causes a little bit of milk to drip out of her tail, before she decides to curl up and wait on any developments. Kilsa gives a grunt as her voice box goes back into the standard mutation of a busty labrador.

Angelily looks at the metal a bit more and sniffs at it. Then she tries to sniff around at the air, ground, anything else she can sniff at, but doesn't come up with anything. She curses a bit under her breath, holding her wide belly. "Something is on them, but we can't pick up the trail, could someone give us a hand, or a nose?" She offers and asks.

Walking over towards Angelily, Dio decides he would give sniffing the object a shot as well. He sniffs at the metal object and then attempts to find if there's a trail of some sort he could follow. Unfortunately, he wasn't able to find anything. "Hmmm," he murmurs as he puts a paw to his chin, "I'm afraid I couldn't find a trail either."

Anbessa sighs softly as he shrugs towards the Anole. "Well, that is usually where these kinds of metal pieces come from. Though either way, if they had to use a Flashbang or a Smoke Grenade, woulden't that mean they needed to use it for some reason?" He asks, his hands going right back into his pockets. "Either they were trying to run away from something, or just being careful, this still means that whoever did this does have access to that kind of technology..." He looks back down at the metal on the ground... Then returns to glancing around the crops, his glowing silver eyes quietly scanning for any other sort of disturbance.

Antonio tilts his had at the sight of Kilsa taking a break, a look of mild disbelief. "You just gonna sit around then?" he asks the dog, shaking his head and focusing back on the rest. "Nothing? Nothing at all? Querido dios, I thought this eould be easier..." he sighs, listening to Anbessa's words while he walks south to the end of the farm. Stopping a little way past the crops, he glances up towards the sky where the sun burns in the epty vaccuum of space. "The hell would they be thinking using a flashbang or smoke bomb on a farm? And if it really was something like that... it means they threw it from somewhere... right?" he calls back at them, starting to walk once more.

The canine spins in a circle and sniffs and gives a bark before walking around the farm on her own in wider and wider, looking for anything that would smell differently that the secent of the farm, looking for infection strains. Her nanties are focusing on pushing her mutated sinces as far as she can, her mind is filled with annoyed thoughts of the weakeness of the farmer and the poor security of someone without even so much as a camera or simply having non-feral Treants in the mix. She keeps roaming around until something catches her attention but otherwise a milk trail will tell the group where she is.

Angelily is quick to get down on all fours and follow along with Kilsa. She sniffs along as well, and tries to catch wahtever Kilsa is is trying to catch. Maybe find something elsewhere? "Antonio? Have you ever seen anything out here, something unusual?" She turns and asks, getting a bit annoyed herself! "Maybe... just anything, a glint of... hold on." She checks her comm a moment, "Oh.. really? But.. fine." With a howl she runs back over to Antonio, "Very sorry, but we have to be going, wish we could have been more help, but something definately isn't right here." she says as she departs.

"Sorry," the lion says as he rubs the back of his head in embarrassment, "Guess we're just off our groove here. Maybe there's something over here?" Seeing Antonio move to a new position, the lion follows in his path and continues to look around with a keen interest and analysis. "Hmm?" Dio shifts his gaze ahead of Antonio, looking as if something caught his interest. "Excuse me a moment, I believe I see something over there..." Marching forward, the lion goes to the supposed glint that had caught his eye and bends down to pick it up. For a few moments, he analyzes it with a few sniffs and evaluates its weight. "This canister appears to be a grenade of sorts, but it seems unused. Not quite sure if it's a smoke or flashbang since it doesn't have a label or scent..." Looking around a bit more, something else quite important catches his attention as he turns around and checks it out. "There's a boot here. It appears to be something military personnel would wear. There are also a few tire tracks right here. Seeing how deep they are, it's possible they might've gotten stuck before taking off." Dio returns to his standing stance and crosses his arms. "What do you guys make of this?"

Anbessa waves towards Angel as she runs off, though his attention is quickly returned to the search... Till Dio calls out his find. Anbessa makes his way towards the Lion, him looking down at the canister for a moment before changing his view towards the Tire tracks... "Well... That canister ain't really like most grenades I have seen... Maybe custom made." He crouches down towards the Tire tracks, him squinting for a moment as he places his hands down on the dirt tracks... "Hrm... Well, they are recent, but not too recent..." He mutters to himself, him raising to his feet before looking towards where they head. "Aren't vehicles not really allowed? I forgot the rules on that." He says, scratching behind his head for a moment before turning towards Dio. "Oh, and does that feel like anything is inside of it?"

Stopping in his tracks at the sound of Angel calling his name, he crosses his arms. "Like I said: no. We ain't seen anything weird out here before. If we did, we would'a said so." he tells her, but widens his eyes as he's told she has to go. "'We'? You're going too, senora?" he asks Kilsa as well, thinking the coyote was talking about the two of them. "Suit yourself, gatito, I think we can handle it." he tells the coyote with a shrug, until Dio's discovery distracts him from the canines. "You find something? Mierda, you were right! Look at that... if they cared about the rules, they wouldn't be throwing those... things into the farms, eh? They got a car! Someone had to see that, but it would take too much time to ask around..." he crosses his arms, voice showing a bit of excitement.

Kilsa grunts and shift back into a human, "Yeah I'll go along, I guess I should let you guys lead your a little more skilled at this me." Kilsa says with small sigh. She follows along with the group while maintaining her human form and keeping close to Dio. She seems to be lost in thought..

Dio looks towards Anbessa and nods. He balances the canister in his paw in an attempt to evaluate its weight. "It seems like it's full or active from what I can tell. We could pull the pin and see what happens, or perhaps we could get someone to analyze it's contents after safely defusing it. There isn't a label on it, so there's no telling what comes out until we do either of the two options." Dio looks towards the group and holds out the canister. "I'll let you guys decide what you guys want to do with it."

Anbessa blinks for a moment at Dio's suggestion... Before raising an eyebrow with a stereotypical look of, 'I hope you are kidding.' "That is a very horrible idea." Anbessa blurts out harshly, him shaking his head before holding his hand out towards Dio. "Here, I can open it up." He says, him tapping his foot against the ground for a moment. He looks towards the Anole before shrugging. "There ain't many cars. Must be somebody with either alot of resources or someone who had enough time to." He says, his hand still held out to ask for the grenade from Dio.

Noticing Kilsa's shift back into human for, Antonio gains an impressed look briefly. "You got skills with that transforming, senora. Bet that's useful in every other situation, eh?" he smirks, tracing his eyes along the tire tracks, following them southwest until they fade after a few feet. Looking back towards Dio, he shakes his head, not liking the idea. "Not gonna happen, hombre. No telling what's gonna happen if you just pull that pin." he lets his arms slip down to his sides once more, having no doubt that the tracks are heading towards the bridge that leads off the island New Dawn resides. "That's what I was thinkin'... just wish there was an easier way to find out if people saw it. The tracks start in that direction, so they could have come from across the bridge. From Fairhaven. You sure you can open that thing up? You're standing over there, jefe, away from me."

The nanite adept eyes narrow at Antonio, "You would think so but not really." She answers curtly, "I think we should wait on pulling the pin it might be useful to us later or it could be crop killer from someone trying to sabotage this place." She look at the anole with a little bit of a smiles, "Right now I'm like you in the middle of a snow storm and under-dressed. So whats our next course of action."

Dio rubs at the back of his head with a free paw and chuckles. "I was only kidding, honest! I wouldn't really suggest throwing a mystery grenade... yeah..." It would've certainly been fun though, he had to admit. "Here you go," Dio says as he gently places the canister into Anbessa's hand, "I'm sure you know more about these kind of things than me. Be careful." With the canister now out of his hands, the lion turns to face the rest of the group. "I'm not quite sure. Perhaps we should check out the bridge for more clues. Interesting that a group with army gear and a vehicle would come to sabotage food. Can't seem to think of a reason as to why unless they were some radical terrorists of sorts."

Anbessa looks down at the Canister as he is handed it. "Alright... But first." He changes his gaze towards the sky as his right eye suddenly turns green, his COM device turning on. "I have enough sources that they might have spotted something. I will send a mass message to them and they should respond soon." He says, a faint *Ping* heard from him before his eye returns to his normal silver. He looks towards the Anole, then nods before he makes towards a more clear area away from the group to open up the grenade. Hope he knows what he is doing!

Antonio rolls his eyes, a gesture he doesn't make often. "Come on, don't be so modest, gatito. You could grow gills and breathe underwater. You could grow wings and fly. You adepts got all the freedom in the world." he laughs softly, before his gaze returns to the two men. "Yeah, you better be kidding, hombre. We don't need more crops getting ruined, or you killing yourselves. You got me?" he says with a smirk, obviously joking at least slightly. Staying away from Anbessa and the canister, he resigns to calling over to him. "You got sources, jefe? I like the sound of that. Let's keep our fingers crossed." he says figuratively, hoping the odds are in their favor, and this situation will come to an end soon.

"Not modesty just truth. I could look and be anything in the waste land but in the end, Nanite adept as just bigger monsters in sea of monsters. We rely on our power so much that we let skills go to waste, I haven't had to use a gun in a long time, or just a anything but milk to heal people. In fact you should be afriad of us because we are the ultimate embrace of nanties. In a short message...We are the scariest of monsters." She doesn't say much more while waiting for the rest to figure out what to do. "I'm not useful like the others so I'm just here until my services are needed or something needs some obsecure skill these fine folk don't have." She grinned.

Dio begins to back away from the possible incoming danger the canister could provide upon being opened. As he stood there and watched, the lion wondered if he knew some of these sources Anbessa spoke of, but it wasn't important for the moment. "I've always found adepts quite interesting, but it's not something I require due to using only a certain few forms for my day to day life. It's a scary power to have indeed if you put it into perspective."
