There's an efficiency in which Kirk handles the situation that 76 appreciates. No point in wasting time shaking hands or exchanging small talk, when there's a job to be done. Not that he would expect anything different from someone who used to be in a position of command. They're always strapped for time.

"You can call me 76," he says in return. It's good to know that much about each other, at least.

As for how to go about this search, he already has a few ideas. "We have some options," he explains. "We could head back up the mountain and question whoever's there, see if they'll give us some leads if we apply pressure." 76 isn't above a good interrogation, if the mission calls for it. "There's also a link between the shamans and that monster blood that people were giving out, so if you know of anyone who was dealing that stuff, we could question them too."
