They find the wierd EP rock wall and a few ashy remains of the original visorak and Bohrok. A few seconds later a Nuvohk and two Levahk enter the chamber from an opposite, smaller tunnel and, sighting the Jark and Jraggin, halt just outside the opening to their tunnel. After a brief pause, one of the Levahk speaks in a voice not its own.
"Zyglak, I am the lead coordinator for Brother-Hood operations in this area. I am aware you were notified not to interfere with my operations. Why have you returned?"
"You've got some nerve. First your leading makuta attacks us, killing seven of our best warriors, then you set up camp right next to our home and demand we refrain from setting foot in our own caverns?" He spits. "Whatever Inhairask told you to do to us, you will find it impossible." Jraggin stabs his destructo spear into the EP-stonewall, chipping it. The Zyglak almost seems confused, wondering what in his own name could have such resistance to a weapon renowned for utterly destroying anything it touches, but he quickly regains his threatening composure.

There is a pause before the lead visorak responds. After about three seconds, his voice is relayed through the Levahk. "Inharax has nothing to do with this. He is a traitor, and does not represent our goals. Our jurisdiction was set up over this area and the surrounding desert years ago. Your people were noted when they arrived and we did nothing to prevent you from establishing your settlement. Our goals were never to aggressively interfere with neutral parties. If a Makuta attacked your operations, he would have been operating under treacherous leadership."

Jraggin makes no effort to retrieve the broken spear from the chipped wall, but does arm his scythe... in a slightly less aggressive stance.
"What you're saying is... your brother betrayed you...? Well, tell us where you stand. Do you worship the Great Beings as gods? or are they your enemies? It's one or the other."

The lead officer replies in a somewhat exasperated tone. "Great Beings?! Where the karz have you strangers been all these years? Great Beings are irrelevant. The only relevant players in this world are the Xians, the Toa, the Order, and our rightful ruler grand lord Makuta Charix. Everything else is simply a distraction."

"Xians are weak and powerless, Toa fall before our might everyday, the Order of Mata-Nui is little more then a plague." He spits. "The Foolish Ones who call themselves Great Beings are responsible for all the factions you concern yourself with. It is them we fight, because they are the ones who neglected their greatest creations; The Zyglak."

The officers voice regains its composure. "Well then, representatives of the Zyglak, I trust we will be mutually helpful neighbors. It may impress you to learn that our grand lord once took on and utterly defeated a Great Being many years ago. I would be glad to suggest to him that our two respective forces join as friends towards common causes. That is, if you're interested. The true brother-Hood has much to support you with granted you do the same for it."

"'A bitter enemy of the Foolish Ones is our friend, Two fires do not fight, they blend.'" Jraggin puts away his scythe, and lifts a closed fist to his chest in a display of brotherly respect. "It's in our Code. What can we do for the true brotherhood? -and, where is this lord Charix? I would very much like to meet him."

"Lord Makuta Charix's precise where-abouts are unknown to us at this time. We have heard rumors that he has been tending to other fortresses that we do not know of. In any case, I only know that he wants us to be busy building up our strength for whenever he makes his move. As for what you can do for us, our primary concern is simply securing this region and the surrounding deserts. We need to have as strong a presence here as possible, and if your forces can aid us in defending these lands, we would be grateful."
The visorak officer stops speaking for a second, before continuing. "I do apologize for not meeting you in person, but, you must understand, for ones so accustomed to war as we are, we can never let down our guard. I trust we will meet at the most opportune time for both of us."
Inside the Hive teleportation chamber, a group of ten venom flyers, flanked by eight H.W. exo toa teleport in. They proceed to march straight away for the aviary. When hailed by radio message from the staff in the monitoring room as to their purpose, one of the venom flyers simply states that "Grand Lord Torzek has dispatched them to better secure the Hive."
The commanding visorak begins to entertain a new, troubling thought. What if Torzek was to become emboldened by Charix's long absence? Could he, perhaps, return to his old, treacherous ways? The visorak orders the two Kaiti; the Bohrok Kal Ja, and the Za to report to the monitoring room at once. The visorak notices, as he does this, the two venom flyers who traveled to the room earlier, still sitting, peering down at him and his team... He sends a coded message to his lead officers throughout the hive to apportion for themselves the garrison of the Hive. Something strange might happen.

"Currently, we are harvesting the materials for creating our own weapons... like the gloves I'm wearing, along with my shoulder cannon. When you can, perhaps you may visit and improve upon our design... I will see you again, brothers."
As he turns to leave, The commanding visorak speaks out quickly. "Wait one moment. Take one of these Lehvak with you. It will allow us to communicate easily with you if we ever have to alert you of something. In fact, you might be interested to know that there are Xian spies in your midst as I speak."
