When a hunting party gathers, they gather at the entrance of the Central tunnel. Since there are usually two hunting parties out at a time, and one will leave every time another returns, there is usually a group gathering to go hunting. Since you wanted to go to the Central tunnel anyways and bask in the light of the Glow Stone, you head in that direction.
As you go through the halls, you pass one of the more battle worn Kamira, and inquire as to it's health. It's surprised, as most of the time the Kamira converse about the food stores, or battles gone by, and not about how any individual is doing. Regardless, it is doing well, having recovered from it's recent fight with a group of furry midgets, which have of late been exploring further east and north. Perhaps it's because they've developed a sort of bony internal structure, or the lanky limbs they've developed. They've been seen carrying small rocks left behind from the stoners, and using them to dig large caverns previously not seen.
You wish the older Kamira well, something that shocks him again, and then continue to the Central tunnel. The alpha Kamira has decided to swim out of his large room, although it's become so venerable, it's taking quite a risk coming out and joining the populace. Any other Kamira could challenge it for the right to lead the others. But so long as it remains alpha, any commands it gives must be obeyed.
After conversing with it about how it became alpha, by challenging the alpha before it, and the recent midget migration habits, and basking in the Glow stone's light for a moment, you swim out to the Entrance to the forest beyond the nest, finding that there are three other Kamira waiting for one of the current hunting parties to return, and two Scar Gork!, a Purple Gork!, and two Vanilla Gork! waiting, too. Judging by the large amount of Gork! waiting there, there's been a sighting of a strong foe close by. You inquire into what's nearby, and learn that there are three stoners nearby, quite possibly planning on attacking the nest. As you inquire, another Scar branch Gork! swims up, too.

Yeah, wait for the hunting party to leave, go with them when they do. In the mean time talk to whoever, kamira or gork!

Spoiler!
Oops. :oops: Did I use the wrong name? Well, if you'd kindly tell me which one you prefer, I'll change the ones before/after. Stoner or rocker?
You start up a conversation, talking about recent relationships and partnerships between individual Kamira and Gork!
It seems that the other Kamira and the Gork! are a bit reluctant to talk about matters beyond required, but they quickly warm up to it, and you manage to get a lively conversation going quickly. One of the Gork! brings up when one of the Kamira hit on one of the Gork!, and while that Kamira would be mortified if it knew that you'd all talked about the incident, it's pretty funny right now.
After a while, one of the other hunting parties sweeps past, returning... very, very bruised and bloodied. The Kamira in the group are still waiting outside, because the slime inside would kill them if they entered with their wounds. But, the Gork are hauling in quite a few of the furry midget corpses, so it must've been a successful hunt.
The return of one party is the signal for the next to leave, so your group then heads out. The group goes north, around the mountain, towards the Outside Entrance to the Purple nest, where the stoners were last seen. But before you spot any sign of the stoners... You see that hugely high heat signature. And for once it's not darting past, but just... floating there, hidden in the forest from plain eyes.

Point out where the target is for the gork!s and then start firing everything.

I say we evolve some sort of way to control the spines when we launch them or some specialized part of the brain to calculate when and where to launch them, Otherwise I second kitten's second.

I say hold back, don't fire unless provoked.
because the other Gork! and Kamira that have gone missing would likely have attacked on sight.
this may be friendly, or just inquisitive.

i agree with silverware, we should prepare our spine launchers, but not use them right away. keep some distance between us and the heat signature and try and communicate with it, to see if it's friendly. if it attacks, everyone fire at will

You quietly tell the Gork! and Kamira in the group to form a semi circle around a point, but not to attack until you give the word. One of the other Kamira protests, that whatever it is, it will become food, but when one of the Gork! agrees not to attack, the Kamira just starts to grumble. The group spreads out around where you can still see that heat signature, and you swim forward, readying your spikes in case it's aggressive. Once you're sure all it's potential exits are covered, you yell at it, trying to get it's attention. It responds by moving out of the bushes, and into the open... but you can still only see it with your infrared, it's basically invisible to normal eyes. And the Gork!'s eyes are normal, meaning they probably can't see it!
Alarmed, but thankful you have infrared vision, you try your best to talk to whatever it is there. When it doesn't respond to any more efforts to communicate, you give the word, since most of the Gork! are pretty much drooling, and the Kamira are getting restless. But the Gork! don't fire right away. One of the other Kamira starts yelling out the position of the heat signature, though, and pretty soon slime jets join in with the flying spikes.

It's extra alarming when several, maybe most of the spikes bounce off the... whatever it is. And the slime jets from the Gork! just spread out when they hit. Only a rare few hits penetrate, and those mostly from what you deduce to be the side. You become aware of a dull red light emanating from the thing's center, running along the Kamira and Gork! in jagged lines of light, and a high pitched whine. Suddenly, whatever it is gives off a bright blue flash, leaving an after image, and then rises up and away, running into a few Gork! above it and pushing them out of it's way. The hunting party chases it for a while, to the best of their ability, but eventually it winds up far out of sight.
