Western desert - 13:42 PM
"Don't worry, we're not going all the way back. I just smell blood coming from that building, there, so maybe someone needs help", Timea called out to Hillary as she approached the farmhouse. She didn't approach the farmhouse closely, only moving to the point where she could look through the window. Seeing the pair and the state they were in, Timea looked at the sight a little morosely, then turned around again.
"But they don't, it's too late for them." With how and where the two people had met their end, and the lack of Vesh'Rah corpses, Timea expected the Vesh'Rah slaves to have killed them before fleeing. Though she wasn't going to investigate if this was indeed the case.
"It's why we left early, yes", she answered to Sibylla, speaking a little softly.
"I would've liked to have looked around the city a little longer, but things got in the way. Anyway, we're going back to that spot at the river to eat."
With that said, Timea adjusted the corpse she was carrying, and continued on along the river bank. She looked back down to Hillary, wondering what these large-eared people were she mentioned, but didn't consider this important enough to ask about, at the moment.
"There is nothing special about me, but there is also nothing special about other people. To say it's not right to eat people, but it is okay to eat other animals is just biased. I understand where this comes from, but it's just wrong
And this ties in about the point you made, back in the city. People will say that people aren't like animals, but that's not true. Just stopping to look past different behaviour, you'll see much is the same, at the core."

Vala - 14:05 PM
Ultron flew back to Vala, taking eight minutes to make the return trip, going almost twice as fast as it didn't have the patience to go more slowly. On the way to Vala, Ultron angrily stewed at how things went in Calibeth City, spiteful at being attacked first in Whitewood, and still be treated with hostility later. Already leaning towards it after Whitewood, this second encounter cemented Ultron's opinion of the group - for either direct actions, or turning a blind eye to them, they were a fault that had to be corrected.
Though further irritated at its lack of resources, Ultron collected its thoughts to come with an alternative in the meantime.
When it was close to Vala, its drones set it down, the other two landing behind it.

[i]Let's see how much I can slow them down.[/i]
Approaching the city gates, Ultron walked up to the guard.
