Sk-ool. Sco-ol. Sch...school? Bah! Human speak again... how can anyone else understand it! There's a planet-wide taunt, free to download, that says...

Want some can-dy? 

Or something like that. I do not know. It came here, from earth...I'll ask the elder they call "Greyback" when I return to prime, he seems to think the subject is hilarious. Well, he is getting on in age...particularly old for Yautja. Maybe he's losing his senses due to it...

No matter. There is time for that later. Tonight, I must set out and search for T'Nira again. She cannot be allowed to continue the slaughter of the innocent.

I leapt gracefully through the rooftops, the night cloaking me in shadow. My thermal vision picked up the occasional bark of a canine, or laugh of a human immaturity, having snuck out of their sleeping quarters. 

The adults were still out in their living quarters, talking and joking as their young slept peacefully. All was quiet. All was calm. 

Back on Prime, us Yautja would still be training, or hunting off-world. Even the pups. 

A sudden noise interrupted my thoughts. It sounded like human distress calls. Cjit! I do hope it is not what I think it is. But I will have to check anyways. 

After a few minutes of hopping around the city, I spotted the worse. Another skinned corpse...a child. PAUK!! 

To add to it...Sahmata was standing underneath it, mouth open in shock. I landed behind her, and she let out a small scream. 

"Jesus Christ, Kyrum, what was that for?" 

"Out of the way." 

"Hey, wai-"

I walked toward the corpse and cut it down with a shuriken. My biomask confirmed that this poor jehdin. 

Sahmata then came to a realization. 

"Kyrum...was this...did you do this?" she asked fearfully.

"No."

"Then who did?" 

I hesitated. 

"That, oomani-di, is something for another time. Leave this place."
