Hordak sighed. Something told him he couldn't win immunity twice in a row, but he had to give it his all anyway.
1. If they're just dragging him along, then marks in the ground must have been made. He must have resisted. We may begin from the saber-tooth habitat, trace their tracks gently. They've probably brought his carcass to another one of their hiding places, so go through by process of elimination; if you don't see fresh blood lining one of the hiding spots, then it's likely not where Paul has been dragged. Perhaps a stray saber-tooth could be walking away with his share of the body, so keep on the lookout and pay attention to the way the stray is coming from if you see one. Keep your distance from any animal you come across just the same.
2. Cats are food-motivated, right? An ancient cat shouldn't be that different. Let us prepare cooked meat, whatever kind you use to treat them normally, and hover it by drone just in their line of sight. Get their attention with a small noise, something like a bell or a rustle. Best if we wear repellent so they won't decide to eat us instead. Manipulate the drone so it moves back and forth fast enough to get them excited. Then, once the saber-tooths decide to strike, send the drone flying away, don't lift it into the sky or they'll lose interest. Ensure the meat is dropped off far enough away that the saber-tooths won't immediately gallop back for Paul when they finish eating.
3. Hm...A magnet will only damage it further and a fishing hook would take a million attempts. Assuming the saber-tooths are away from Paul, we may be able to use something on a stick to grab it. Whatever you call those long artificial arms with the claws on the end, that's our best bet. Make sure the tips of its claws are flat with some kind of gripping material, rubber should provide a firm grip and gentle carry. As for repairing it, you can leave this to me. I'll need spare parts from old electronics we don't need anymore, smaller ones. I can temporarily mend the screen with transparent super glue, pry the body apart and mend the motherboard with those spare pieces. In case I fail, back up the phone's data to a computer before I do anything.

If you hear about someone putting characters through intense despair and misery, then that someone is probably me.
