[76 would probably rather be tracking humans than mysterious aliens who seem to have foretold their arrival, but at least the skill set is the same. It's relieving, too, to be out on an expedition with a group of people who seem to know what they're doing. At least, they seem like they do--all bets are off if they get into an actual physical confrontation, but they haven't lost the trail yet.
It is, however, getting muddier. The good news is that this seems to be a well-traveled road. The bad news is that everyone and everything seems to have been traveling it. 76 has (with some effort, he is Old) dropped into a squat, as if getting up close and personal with all the tracks is going to help him differentiate the Thessyx prints from that of some random alien creature.
Look, we can't all have bird friends. He looks over his shoulder and gives Eivor a sort of appraising look.]

Yeah, it's these.
[He thinks so, anyway.]
Seems like everyone's headed the same direction.
