With the Jaburian taken down and stored in his inventory, Lucas made his way back to the outpost. While Garena town was closer to Lucas and there was a landing strip there with a small outstation, going over there was quite risky. Apart from the risk involved, Lucas would have to answer a bunch of questions from what he was doing there, how he made it over despite being a human, and why he was with a little girl.
