Di paused as in mid flight. The fleech he had been pusuing continued crawling along the groung, and Di frowned as he strained his ears for any sound. He had distincly heard a nearby incect flit of in alarm, and some quiet creaking came from somewhere in the canopy below him. He turned to look at the branches below him.
Because of the various implants the vykers had subjected him to, his vision was no longer in very much colour. Admittedly, he could see a little further into the infra red and ultra violet spectrum, but all this enhanced perception gave him was a slight haze around living objects. Usually Di did not rely on his sight very much, but allowed his hearing and enhanced sense of smell to replace his sight. But he thought he saw a slight shimmer in the the canopy below him that he interpreted as a fairly large being.

He scented the air but unluckily, the wind was blowing in the wrong direction. Something compelled him to investigate, so he decended slightly and peered through the branches, only being able to make out a slig-like form. Before he could move to a more strantigacly bewnificial position, the creature spread its wings and Di realised that it had picked up the scent of his prey.
