Mr. Black looks up, not saying anything for a couple of seconds. He looks back down at the meat. "While I am perfectly willing to share, I can't help but wonder why you believed I am."
He pulls out three small plates and puts some slices and marinade on them.
"You seem like a nice fellow." The in black said before handing the plates over to the yellow and red one. They all seem to eat in unison. "This is good!" The one is yellow said with a chuckle, the red one nodding along.
"Hmm... I have a question. What are you? My original guess was some form of Monarch Mold, but they can barely get along with themselves, let alone divide their consciousness. Of course, all my clues so far are speculation, so pardon me if I say something offensive."
"Wow! You know about hive minds?" The Red one asks. The Black one chuckles "We are what people would call a 'Hive mind'. More like.... I don't know." It says. Yellow nods "Yeah. Its like a hive mind but we still retain personalities and such but we are only one mind."
"You ask too many questions for your own good, you know that? But, playing along, they caused the death of thousands of people, injured thousands more, and stole a valuable piece of tech." They say, sending the last refugee off halfway through the conversation, "And yes, the council jsnt putting this on the news for obvious reasons. We'd much prefer catching them off guard, rather then letting them run somewhere else." They say, their weapon clacking against their hip as their stance shifts to a different side
Insight: 21
This is true (or I guess more it's true to the soldiers)
"But you don't deny that you are mercenaries, not actual law enforcement? And if this person is dangerous, and killed thousands of people, what gives you the impression that anyone could be well-equipped enough to face them?"

"Because it's better to think that rather than thinking we're meat shields to stall them." They say simply, "Besides, you think Jeff the guard could handle that?"
It's not toxic, at least not enough to poison even Hi, but it has a high level of spiciness even while partially neutralized by the marinade. The meat itself is fatty but doesn't have great marbling. Most of the fat is on the exterior and has been trimmed down to make it even slightly palatable. The meat is also weirdly crunchy despite being barely cooked, with a texture similar to dragonfruit.

"I am a culinary biologist. It's my job to learn about monsters, mostly so that I can cook them effectively. However, most traits that monsters have easily extend to non-monstrous entities. The multiple personalities is an interesting adaptation. Diversity is one of the things that made mortals the top dogs for centuries, so replicating that in a hive mind is a brilliant move on the part of evolution."

"That's the problem. It's not great. Most creatures from the Nightmare taste great, which is what makes them worthwhile to hunt. These things are just slaughtered and left to just... sit there. Not even rot will overtake their poisoned meat. There has to be some way to make these things edible..."

"So, in other words, your employer is sacrificing lives when they could be hiring actual hunters like me to find this person? Seems like a waste to me. If they can equip you with that junk, surely they can hire someone who's faced down threats like this before."

R chuckles and hands back the plate "We are workers so to speak. We work and work much better when we have something to do." Y nods along "We work well do the fact we have the same mind!"
