Eric and Benitez sat on the crest, watching the convoy amass in the valley. Cartharic soldiers were scanning the perimeter; patrols walked through the wide path, weapons up as they secured the area. Eric looked at the Brios/ Llrathel prototype. Engineers and mages were currently working on it; he heard the echoes of shouting as a man stood in front of it, pointing at the prototype. Eric couldn't make out what the man was saying, but he could tell something was wrong.
Eric and Benitez crawled back down the mountain, and Eric called Mia again. "Helios three, Helios one." He said after wrapping himself and the radio in mana again.
"Go ahead, Helios One."
"Yes, can you hear what they are arguing about? I can see the man standing in front of the prototype, but neither Benitez nor I can hear what they are saying."
"Give me a minute." She responded.
Eric sighed. "Copy, Standing by."
