"Base X came into view. The sled slowed, came to a halt by the massive hangarlike door. The Predator tossed Colquhouns corpse to the ground and disembarked. Opposite the building laid the ravine full of white skeletons and mottled red remains of so many animals. The Predator took a step towards the ravine, thought better of it, made a querulous clicking sound. It slid a knife from one of the many sheathes on its legs. The metal was a swirling purple. With a flick of its wrist, the Predator threw the Weapon in an arc far out into the valley. The knife landed blade first in the ground. The Predator waited. Nothing happened." Pg.212 Chpt.55
