"But you can't do that with tranq darts.""These people can resurrect extinct supernatural races, Maya," Daniel whispered. "I think their technology goes a little beyond the norm.""Right. Okay." I took a deep breath. "Follow me."I started crawling through the brush. I'd gone only a few steps when I realized Daniel wasn't behind me.

The conversation between Maya and Daniel reveals that they are in a precarious situation; Daniel has been affected by a tranq dart, leaving him feeling dizzy yet somewhat aware. Maya observes a sniper's reflection, realizing the threat they are facing goes beyond the ordinary, hinting at advanced technology capable of reviving extinct supernatural beings. The tension heightens as they try to navigate their environment under the potential danger posed by the sharpshooter.

His admission that the tranq dart has worked more effectively than anticipated adds a deeper layer of urgency to their predicament. The bond between them is evident as they rely on each other to navigate this unknown peril, emphasizing the stakes of their mission and the challenges they face against formidable foes.
