"Eden," Sarah prompts you, "Take Naomi and check out those trees over there. See that boulder on the hill? I'll take Rich and Fred and see if it would make a good observation point. See if you can find anything edible or useful, then come and join us on the hill."
You look at Rich and Fred and see them smirk. Cocky assholes, you think. Could make trouble. Could try to take over.
"Kind of bossy, isn't she?" Noami grumbled, beginning to walk.
"She seems capable. Don't much care Richie and Freddie boy."
"What, you want the teen queen for yourself. What am I, chopped rock eel?"
"I'm not even thinking that way.''
"Well, I'm a lesbian and I am, cute stuff."
You set off for the trees, making Naomi catch up. The trees are similar to palm trees, but shorter and more squat. They did seem to have something protruding off the bark. It's white with green streaks on it. You pull one of the growths off.
"Take a bite," urged Naomi, her brown eyes flashing in mirth.
"I'm not going to-"
"Relax." She runs a biomarker over it. "It's sort of a citrusy vegetable. Could be a food source. Put it in your bag."
"Now who's bossy?" you snicker, but comply. You spend another twenty minutes surveying, then begin to walk toward the grassy hill.
Suddenly, you hear a scream. Screams. Then silence. It wasn't Sarah, the screams were those of the males. You and Naomi race for the hill, not seeing any of the three. Naomi's fast, a sprinter, but you're faster and you find Sarah on the other side of the boulder, shaking and holding a laser gun, pointing it in the direction of a gaping cave.
She tells you, haltingly, that something pulled Rich and Fred into the opening, ripping them apart.
