Beast watches and is highly impressed by how good they all are - much better than his team was at their age. He admires their team work and efficiency. Shatterstar, it seems, has even finally learned how to mark positions on the battlefield in accord with the clock. His work seems wasted, however, once Feral mentions that most timepieces are now digital. After their practice session, Feral wishes the other two good luck, as...
