Wilson stared at Aria’s note. Wait, there was a surveillance room? He closed his eyes and leaned over in defeat. Of course the hunters had a surveillance room. Why wouldn’t they? “No worries, Tori. I’ll check it myself. You guys can head back.” At least when he walked over to verify he had been right, so all of their notes and work hadn’t been in complete vain, but next time Wilson would definitely not forget.

The next day he went out to practice drills. Except...as Wilson expected he sucked at them--really sucked. Leaning over with his hands on his knees, the trainee groaned. "Okay guys, I'm gonna give up on drills for the time being." He returned to the surveillance room and stared at the feed. It was dull and he didn't get much, but he certainly felt more productive compared to when he was doing the drills.

A definitive thwap was heard once Leon read the note and had the chance to facepalm himself. "Didn't even think of that, would have been so much better than looking over those textbooks." he lamented to himself and turned around to Wilson and his offer to go take a look. "Sure go ahead, I think i might cut out sometime from my exercise and drills to begin creating a containment unit for the... subject." He still didn't really know exactly what it was they're group was after. But it would still need a cage and he had no problem stepping up to begin building it.

But for now, he let out a yawn from textbook boredom and wished the others a good night before heading back to his dorm to crash until the following day. And what a day that was. Nid was abuzz with the abandonment of the morning training regimen, even questioning the brunettes health at one point as he was brushing up on take down techniques he could employ.

That was the problem of having a chainsaw as a weapon, it was nigh impossible to turn off the kill switch and put it on gentle. that and capture guns just didn't like him, so that option had to go out the window too. After a few more attempts at preforming tackles, the life hunter stood up and wiped his brow off. "Ok, guess that's all for me today, gotta start building a cage." he said in farewell and went off to collect some materials that could work as a containment vessel for the group.
it still didn't stop him from sending out a text to the others and asked for their input.

Text from Leon
Hey Group six members, any idea how our cage should work?

Research primarily complete, Petra disregarded Aria's message about surveillance for the time being, instead leaving it to the research division to stop by to place the pieces of the puzzle together from what they'd found out. Deryk had seemed capable and intelligent, establishing much of the information they had come across -- she trusted him. Meanwhile, as the sun began to rise, dawning the second day, the moon hunter rose with a different focus on her mind. Dressing quickly and quietly, she slipped out of Robert's room and down the hall towards the Sun sector, launching one of the programs before stepping into the room to train. It was not quite her forte, but Drills were comforting, in a way. The thought of being weak left a twisted knot in her gut, touching her expression in a way that curled up her lips and furrowed her brow in angry determination. Training as the sun hunters did, in a purely offensive, brute-force type of way reaffirmed that she was not useless or weak.

The thick, heavy thuds of fists hitting a punching bag echoed in the room, dampened enough by the walls that they did not reach the hallway outside, merely reverberating before vanishing completely. Her breaths, too, mingled with the sound, almost but not quite lost by the sound of her fists connecting with something firm, heavy pants as time wore on. She'd opted against weapon's training, for now, focusing on honing purely physical skills, in case Cain became disabled for some reason. It'd happened to Circe, in the haunted house, what made any of them think it wouldn't happen to them? Another harsh thud as she brought her leg up to kick with her shin, the chain keeping the heavy bag from swinging rattling a little. Tomorrow would be weapon's training, and then possibly some time to engineer a cage for the creature.

Letting her arms fall to the sides, Petra panted a little, leaning a bit against the punching bag before slowly meandering to the wall, grabbing her water bottle. There were still two hours left that she had allotted to physical training, but she waved them, grabbing her towel to head to the showers. She'd spend the last two hours relaxing sore muscles.

There was a reason he wasn't a Mist or Death hunter. He was moon, defense, even with crazy Julie, this wasn't his field. Not in the slightest. He was tempted to ask if what they were looking for was Caelius's Holiday spirit. Or Dr. H's social skills. Thoe were rare, terrifying and elusive right? Granted if he asked that he might get kicked and shove into a pod, (just why such thoughts were best left to himself.). Drills today. Get ready. Bix was taking initiative with something. Maybe he'd do that with his balls one day. Until then, might as well try drills. It was an excuse to get in shape.

The following day, Kat moved on to practice drills. Drills--Now this was something Kat was more than happy to deal with! Anything then more research or something! In fact, she found herself pretty good at this stuff, hell--it was even kind of fun.

Jordan's first response to the note was irritation at Aria; the second, following rapidly behind, was irritation with himself. Why hadn't he thought of that? Of course there would be surveillance, and just because asking some senior Hunters stupid questions got you snapped at didn't mean that the questions weren't worth asking. Dammit. Lateral thinking as well as linear, he reminded himself. He hadn't gotten much information out of the library anyway; he made a point of visiting the surveillance center before drills, getting all that he could from the Hunters on duty there.

Drills, on the other hand, were much less frustrating, even if he did have to remind himself not to slack off toward the end of the day.

Well, it would've been nice to know about the room that actually had all of the data they needed yesterday. Still, Vanessa and her group had made good headway on that research, so it wouldn't be for nothing.

Today was dedicated to learning about those offensive drills, not research. She, like most of her team, had gone to the area specified for learning how to survive during this whole challenge. It was Drill Time.

Vanessa's very work-orientated mindset was a blessing here. As soon as she started the drill, she was performing it with as much determination as possible. Her performance slowly dwindled, but as far as she could tell, she was doing a lot better than those who weren't Suns like herself. Perhaps she was in the wrong division? In any case, Vanessa got in a lot of work that day.

She got the text from Leon, and responded with:


Text to Leon
Perhaps analyzing the target's strengths and putting up the strongest defensive capabilities possible against those traits would be a good idea? Perhaps ask Wilson for specifics on those points?


She wasn't actually sure if that's what he was looking for, but it sounded logical to her.

Jerry was very happy to excuse himself outside again, much happier to have at the practice dummies. Unfortunately, a bazooka is not really a shoot-to-wound sort of weapon, and so the drilling went tricky. He would sleep well that night though, that's for sure.

For her third day, Eva decided that she had been move onto the drills. Research was all good and well--and she quite enjoyed it, to be honest--but she knew that she would need the practice that the drills would provide her wide. At the very least, she needed to go through the drills until she was confident that she wouldn't botch anything up. Then, perhaps, she would be able to go back to research.

Alright, better suck it up and get to those drills!

Reine had woken up all pumped for doing drills, at least until she actually started on them.. and realised she was sadly lacking in stamina. The rain was just handy excuse for taking a break- and she'd tried to maximise her time at least by working on prep stuff. She was still combing the life hunter storage unit for supplies she could use, but she was pretty sure she'd gotten the basics covered at least.

For the rest of the day, she alternated between doing drills and more prep work- hey, moving all those heavy bags of stuff counted as.. weight-lifting, didn't it..?

Candace had done so poorly the day before she'd gone back to her dorm, cooled down, taken a long nap and then finally come back the next day feeling refreshed an awake. This was apparently a good thing since she did much better the second attempt than the day before. At least now she wouldn't just die out there like some idiot. She had to make sure she could protect herself and the rest of her team from what they were catching!

She had to admit she was thoroughly impressed with Reine's dedication and usefulness. Perhaps she wasn't all bad.
