 "Name of the specimen?" asks a weirdly voice in an unknown language by humanity.

 "Human zombie." says another voice on the same unknown language by humanity. "Male I think. Hard to say because of his missing reproduction system."

 "Fascinating." says another voice on the same unknown language by humanity.

 "It appears. This specimen cannot see us. His eyes are injured. But it can smell us."

 "Smell us? That's fascinating. Can he talk?"

 "Not exactly, Doctor Z-3434."

 "So, he's like the rest?"

 "Yes."

 "Can he walk?"

 "He has a missing leg. But he is not aware of that."

 "Can he be used as a fertilizer?"

 "It can to our planet and other fifteen planets our kind controls."

 "That is good. Our kind is facing a great famine in our Galaxy. These Homos sapiens sure have helped our kind… We should repay this huge favour they've done to us."

 "We are not going to invade their planet in year 2025?" asks another voice who as entered the scenery.

 The zombie cannot see who are these people, nor can see what is happening. But he can feel that is tied to a metallic bed to some sort of metallic material that is making it hard to escape from.

 "Yes." says the thing in an unknown language to humankind. "We will not invade their planet… For now, … We'll give them another century. Hell, even a millennium if we will survive this famine. Tell the higher ups and the soldiers to withdraw the invading plan of Earth."

 "Sir. What should we do with the specimen?"

 "Stab the neck. The Homo sapiens have advised us about the way of killing these creatures they are considering dead."

 Then, everything went silent.

 The zombie that has got killed, heard the discussion of these aliens creatures, but it is a shame nobody would know about this deal, and how much it meant for both parties.

 After a while, the four people who were in Scotland have a comeback at their base in Brighton, and now the four of them are going back to their activity, all gaining their worth rewards. Carmen is now at rank Newbie Grade 4 and has somewhere at 25 points at this moment, while Louis, Navylian and Kyle has with forty points left, they imputed a limit of points at the last minute, but this did not help them climb the ranking leader. But one point is one point.

 "Welcome back!" says Alexia to the four teammates who entered the living room of the base.

 "Welcome." says Louis who is jumping on the couch.

 "Glad to be back home." says Kyle, who is jumping on the left side of Louis.

 "You okay, Alexia?" asks Navylian looking at Alexia who was a few days ago in a bad state after a mission.

 "I am alright, sir."

 "Good to hear."

 "Carmen." says Alexia looking at Carmen who is standing still on the doorway. "Why don't you sit and talk with us? About your first campaign."

 "It was great." says Carmen leaving her luggage leaning on the wall, walks a few steps to the nearest chair, she sits on that chair. "I made Newbie Grade."

 "Newbie Grade?" asks Lucian surprised, who was just coming from the walls. "That's new. All my ghost life. I've never heard of a trainee jumping ranks from a campaign. You sure broke the system."

 "Yes. That is new." says Alexia. "But you are Newbie without a complete file and without an official Division."

 "Division?" asks Carmen. "What's that?"

 "This is a new way to tell you with what kind of problems to deal with, supernatural or from outer space."

 "Outer space like aliens?"

 "More than aliens." says Louis. "Me and Navylian we are on the Scientific Division. While Kyle, Alexia and Lucian are working on the Supernatural one because… y'know."

 "Louis." says Carmen a bit confused. "I gotta ask it. You are alien?"

 "…Yes." says Louis to Carmen. "I am an alien, and my kind is on this Earth for about two millennia. But that is not important."

 "But Navylian is a magician." says Carmen looking at Navylian, then she quickly says. "No offence sir."

 "Yes, but that doesn't matter. The division is often used when critical situations strike. Like the ghosts, alien visiting or the one alien coming you were witnessing, are considered low level threat."

 "What is exactly considered a high-level threat?" asks Carmen.

 She got no response on this. Meaning not even her own colleagues, who are higher in ranking, don't have any idea what is exactly considered a level threat for a division. 

 Carmen thinks a little about the question she was asked about the division she will join. She is thinking about the cons and pros she will face if she chooses one of the two divisions, and she thinks about the low threats she has faced since she joined the team. Then, she says to her colleagues.

 "I want to join the Scientific Division."

 "You sure?" asks Navylian.

 "Yes, carmen. Are you sure?" asks Kyle.

 "Yes." responds Carmen after two seconds. "I want to join the Scientific Division."

 "Good." says Navylian who wasn't exactly expecting this answer giving the fact that Carmen is having a supernatural power. "We will talk more about this subject later, right now. I want all of you who have gone on the campaign to rest. And do not worry about tomorrow, you three deserve a break from all of this."

 "Thanks." says Louis who immediately raises from the couch, and he goes toward his bedroom.

 "Where are you going?" asks Lucian looking at Louis.

 "To change my skin. I want to go on a date."

 "Classic Louis." says Lucian.

 Most of the teams agree to this statement.

 After a small chit-chat, talking about the things Alexia and Lucian have done while the other four hunter members were out hunting zombies in Scotland, about the adventures and fights Carmen and Kyle have faced on their very first campaign, Carmen and Kyle decide to leave the base and head home to rest because tomorrow the two high school students will go back at school.
