People confront a hulking creature they cannot cut down; blades bounce off its hide. Panic rises as they realize it devoured a wolf and sprouted steel skin and pikes. One person calls for focus while another criticizes a lackey. A passerby inspects a vial and declares the Rejuvenator perfect. Then someone cries, 'Not that! That's a human!' The revelation—that the enemy is an enhanced human—shifts the plan from survival to offense. They decide on a coordinated hunt tonight, leaving the strengthened human as the immediate, unresolved threat.
