The drone's battery is extremely limited, and with our restricted access to electricity, as you've seen from our equipment, we wouldn't have even had an upgrade if we hadn't raided the Coltons' base for supplies. We stumbled upon some heat-detecting drones in their camps and hoped to utilize them, but without a way to recharge them here, I thought it best to save them for when they're truly needed. Luckily, one of my men brought one along in his backpack, but that's all we have."

Aston spoke quickly, his nerves masked behind a facade of calmness. He was keen not to be misunderstood by Kisha and her team, wanting to maintain a positive connection with them even as they got back to the shelter.
