Claudia Brown stood to one side. The SAS lads were setting up a perimeter fence, Connor was attempting to impress Abby, and Cutter and Hart were examining the Gorgonopsid's corpse.

She shivered, not sure if it was bravery that allowed the men get so close to the beast that nearly killed them, or if science was substituting in for common sense. Words like “ectothermy” and “endothermy” were being bandied about.

Honestly, with no way of knowing how frequent these anomalies were likely to become, whether or not the Gorgonopsid was cold-blooded was the very least of their problems!

Claudia is right. I hope she's able to stay calm and practical in all the things to come.

Practical, yes. Calm... well, it is Nick Cutter she has to ride herd on! The man doesn't make it easy, eh?

Nice. I can see the boys getting into an argument about the relative warmth of the creatures blood. Claudia needs to keep them grounded.
