A few days after the second team's arrival, Khan began staying true to his word. His night trips across the forest finally awarded him a suitable item, and no one tried challenging him for it.
A group of tired Scalqa watched the small figure with bright eyes walking away from the dead monster and seizing a mangled arm that had been severed during the fight. The alien who had lost it had fainted and was losing a lot of blood, but his companions waited for Khan to leave before attending to him.
Khan rushed through the forest after retrieving the limb to return to the ships. His bottle still had some booze in it, and his sprint didn't prevent him from taking sips. By the time he reached his destination, the container was already empty.
