1. Sphene - dressed in a white tanktop and green jacket hanging off the shoulder - and Apollo - dressed in a rugged blue and tan leather jacket with a halfmask around his neck and goggles on his forehead, along with a bone glaive on his back - are in a pop-up camp in the desert. Sphene is looking up from her book and reacting with fear to something off screen, while Apollo is crouching and looking with annoyance. Sphene: Oh my Gog... Is that what I think it is? Apollo: What are you seei-- Oh, you have GOT to be kidding me.
2. A view from inside the tent, behind the two, as they watch a giant brute wyvern nomming down on a hunt of raw meat on a rack outside. Apollo: Just my damn luck, huh? Sphene: Looks like a brute wyvern? I've not seen one in this environment before...
3. Apollo pulls down his goggles and draws his glaive as he runs out of the tent while Sphene looks up at him, giving authorization to hunt the monster. Sphene: Um... To protect the safety of our research team, and also our future prospects for lunch, the Guild authorizes you to hunt this monster. Apollo: Yeah, yeah, don't gotta tell me twice.

In this branch of the Hunters Guild, it's tradition for a hunter to hunt and cook a meal for a new handler on their first deployment together.
It's generally considered a good idea to survey the area first.
