I accelerated the gaplay until the last afternoon before Manu and Kat arrived at the Redtooth Tribe the next day. My two colonists are preparing for the night.
Not that I purposely stopped fast-forward. The feature stops itself, a sign that another event will occur.
Just as Kat pulled a few jerky out of her bag, Rox barked at a large tree so distance from my colonists.
Kat stood up. "Who's there?"
Manu, who was trying to burn the branches for the bonfire, turned to where Kat was looking. "Your dog senses soone, Kat?"
"I don't want to make a fuss." Lifting both hands, a man with a headband and spiky hair ca out from behind the tree. "I just wanted to join you guys in that bonfire. I brought my own food."
The man's body looks well built, with slightly prominent muscles. He wore pants and a shirt like Manu, but with neater stitches.
"Woof! Woof!!!" Rox barked more and more intensely. Kat snapped her fingers, and the pet went straight back to its master.
[???? (Exiled Tribe mber)]
STATS:
Ranged Attack: 7/100
lee Attack: 77/100
His lee stat is pretty good. Maybe he can be a great addition to my colony. I imdiately asked Manu to ask the man a few things.
"What's your na and where are you from?" Manu advances a bit.
"My na is Jia, I co from…. You could say I co from a tribe far away." The man replied with a faint smile. "So, do you guys mind? Just one night, really. Tomorrow we will part away. With more people, things will get better, right? There's an extra person to take turns on guard."
Kat and Manu exchanged glances.
"Ah, I will take the middle shift. You can sleep early or late, so that your sleep is not disturbed in the middle." The man nad Jia added.

Not bad. He could replace Seb for cooking duty. Seb can focus on his plants, so he doesn't get too tired. Well, I know Seb's highest interest is in cooking. However, it would be better if the cook was the one with the highest stats, right? Maybe once in a while, I'll ask Seb to help him.
And so, I gave Manu so more orders. Kat certainly couldn't be counted on to recruit this person.
"Alright, please join us." Manu finally answers. However, the man did not return Jia's smile.
"Thanks very much. Appreciate it." Jia nodded, then looked Kat up and down, and smiled again. But of course, Kat didn't smile back.
Finally, the man sat down in front of my two colonists' bonfires. Manu made small talk to start this recruitnt. Well, hopefully, this guy can do it. There is no Seb here who, in my opinion, has the highest communication skills.
"I feel it's very unfair." Manu says while chewing his jerky. "You don't know that at is contaminated, do you? It's not your fault because you were only assigned to cook it. You don't deserve to be exiled."
"Well, they I told you that the deer is not edible. The internal organs sll unusually offensive, and the blood looks dark." Jia said as he continued to roast his sweet potato. "However, the hunters at our place forced to keep cooking it. And in the end, they blad ."
"We once ate mushrooms which made us hallucinate and go crazy." Suddenly Kat said. "But, no one is blaming anyone."
Manu stops eating. Maybe because he was so surprised that Kat suddenly joined in the chat.
"That's amazing. I envy you guys." Jia smiles again. "And it was nice of you to let warm myself with you. It shows your tribe is really good. The people in my tribe wouldn't act like this, they're so selfish."
"Now is the ti, Manu." I said to my bearded colonist excitedly. "Invite him to join our colony."
After Leva t with that old woman, I was able to co to a conclusion. Those who do not have a ho must be very desperate to join another settlent. So, this will definitely be very easy.
"Then how about you just join us?" Manu finally makes an offer. "You could say, we are short of people. Right now, there are only five of us…. Six if that boy nad Rox counts."
Rox, who was sitting next to Kat, was just staring at Manu.
Jia opened his mouth for a mont, then bowed his head in respect. "Thank you very much. Honestly, walking alone in the wilderness was really hard. You don't have friends to get your back."
"We are happy to have a new mber." Manu smiles while extending his hand.
"Once again, thank you. After arriving at your tribe, I will cook sothing delicious. Well, it also depends on the ingredients you have, anyway." Jia shakes Manu's hand. "So, what's the na of your tribe?"
Manu blinked his eyes, then looked at Kat, who was silent.
"Well, we haven't nad our settlent yet." Manu shrugged. "Maybe we're too busy preparing things, so haven't thought about it yet."
To be precise, I haven't thought about it because I'm too engrossed with this ga. Alright, I'll give our colony a na later, Manu.
[New Colonist Acquired]
The conversation resus between Manu and Jia only, of course. Jia tried to chat with Kat several tis. But, as the girl only kept giving short answers, the newest mber of my colony finally gave up.
With ti you will get used to it, Jia.
Since their chat wasn't that important anymore, I activated fast forward again.
Manu stands guard first before being replaced by Jia. The man with spiky hair seed to be looking for sothing around the trees in the forest when Manu was asleep. And in no ti, because everything was going so fast, he picked up a big rock near one of the tree roots.
What is he doing?
He cos to Manu and lifts the stone high. Auto-pause is triggered imdiately.
Shit.
