Do glass orb things. Wonder where the beast went. Question my continued relevance to the plot.
Maybe you should try to chase after it, or maybe try to go elsewhere? I can't make doing nothing more interesting than doing nothing.
"Make sure he looks good after you do the brain transplant. Lots of spikes, boils, warts, maybe some horns, mkay? This'll be great. We'll have our hunchback! Hey guys, the inhabitants here like it weird, like the more popular porn sites, you know? So let's dress up like the mutants we really are. the time for sparkle and moodinees is gone, Freakshows is where it's at!"
I encourage a certain attitude of bizarreness in Xan and Hyenakles, so that the surgery is more likely to produce interesting effects. I Also look around for special effects material, like muslin and gunpowder and glue and magnesium powder and stuff, so we can put on a good show for the tribes.
Gunpowder you can get, namely by scavenging bullets if you were so inclined. However, the other things are less readily available.
Observe excitedly ongoings and accidentally stab something.

OW! You closed your hand and jammed all your claws into your palm. DAMN YOU, BIO-ENGINEERS!
Do the things needed to perform the ritual with actual safety and shit. Campfires and all that.
I was hoping more people would actually help get this set up...oh well.
[6] You build a giant roaring bonfire out of debris from the ship and random scraggly bushes you find in the area.
That done, you unceremoniously chuck the lady into it. And then you wait a while; once the screaming has passed and things are smelling nice and cooked porky, you stick your hand into the fire. You swirl your hand around in the flame, searching, sifting through flickering tongues of fire until you finally find what you need. You catch it in-between your thumb and forefinger and yank it out. It is a tiny flame, candle-like, but it burn a deeper and harder shade of gold than any flame around it. You carry it over to Hyenakles and motion for everyone to step back. You carefully shift the flame into your palm and slam it down on hyenakle's chest. The flame spreads across his skin, growing rapidly more powerful as it spreads. Within seconds it has engulfed you, him and everything within a good 10 foot radius in a swirling orb of flame.
The fire dies down after a few seconds, leaving a glassy crater with you and a fully healed hyenakles in the center.
