“<span class="mu-s">OF COURSE, MY CHAMPION</span>.” New Salda's avatar replies, you instantly feeling power surging up into you. But more important than the power is the awareness, as you open up your ki sense to feel every living being around. Immediately you sense your family close at hand, but you also sense more. You feel the life in the trees, in the grasses, the tiny birds in the trees and the surprisingly powerful being hiding somehow beneath the large tree directly in front of you! And it isn't alone, you feeling a trio of much weaker powers you sense to be children, their ki different than the adults around. Also, you sense three more with the same energy in the close canopy above, maybe seven to eight yards above your heads. The ones above you, however, have concealed their power, masking their presence so well even New Salda's nigh-perfect awareness can't get a perfect read on their strength.
“What is it hun.” Meloka asks, your wife flying up and placing her back to your own. “What do you sense?”
“Three above. One with maybe children under the tree in front of me.” you reply, your children all circling close to you. Gathering around your back, under the protection of you both.
“What? I can't sense anything above.” she replies, which is shocking. But after a few seconds she speaks again, no doubt having increased her Energy Shell's range. “There they are. I think they might actually be natives.”
“Natives? You mean the-?” Karn Jr starts, only to get shushed by his older siblings.
“So, what's the play?” your wife asks. Which is a good question, as you aren't entirely sure. As they are, you doubt they'd be a serious threat, you could probably take them all out in an instant with a pair of Scatter Beams. On the other hand, they've not attacked, and from what you can sense are some of the last of their kind on the planet. There are a few more pockets of their race in the forest, but in total less than two dozen natives survived to now. “We just killing these things, or...?”
Well? What do you do, General?
>Wipe them out as efficiently as possible, they're strong enough to give the younger children trouble and live too close to your new city for safety>Use your mental link with New Salda like you had earlier to address these beings directly, offering them a truce. They leave your kind alone, you'll make sure those of your city leave them alone as well>Let Karn Jr, Okira, Maz and Kayle fight them, only intervene if your children get into any danger>Tell Meloka to handle them, while you guard the kids. Shouldn't take her long to clean up>Other(write in)
