"The killer", or else {lo nu catra}.

Well... {le bende be denpa bu} is the team consisting of the people
referred to with the pronoun {denpa bu}. Maybe you want {pe} rather
than {be}.

As for {uenai}, to me it means something like this:

ue nai (UI*1) Attitudinal. Used to express expectation / expectedness
/ confirmation. (cf. tolselspaji)
  ue nai ro da pu prane
  Everything was perfect, just as I expected.

I believe you want something more like:

.e'e (UI1) Attitudinal. Used to exhort / incite / motivate / encourage
/ entreat / stimulate / challenge / dare / provoke / invite competition.
(cf. talsa)
  .e'e ko jarco lo se kakne be do
  Show them what you can do! Go for it!

  .e'e mi do bajra jivna fe'e co'u le karce
  I'll race you to the car!

mu'o mi'e xorxes

So it was more like "[expectation] Come to Team 'Dot'." At least I was close. I wanted .uenai, though noow I think it might be better as .a'o, since I both hope and expect, but mostly hope.
