A Day in the Life of a Lion Response Team

Alarm, Alarm! The incessant beeping of the Rover Unit sounded, persistent and not to be ignored. The time, 02:04! Oh no! Alu, a lion ranger, stumbled out of his bedroll and pushed the “Acknowledge” button on the rover unit. The message was clear:

XPL140, an adult female, with her sister presumably, on the prowl in the badlands again. Pack the bedroll and gear! Alu and three community rangers packed quietly and quickly. Quick equipment check, fireworks, spotlight, binoculars.
