Caira sighed. It had been two weeks since they had lost contact with the colony and it was undoubtedly a monster attack. But what she didn't get is how a monster could have breached the colony. The security there was top notch, and they had a few Kraken bodies to prove it. The higher ups had seen this as a perfect opportunity to train some recruits that were fresh out of base camp.

Bodies littered the compound, some crisped and others just a red mess. Soldiers, best of the best, layed disemboweled on the metal, blood and giblets leaking from the bodies.
