Zone of the enders:war of the red planet ch.5
Shade continued his way across the deserted lands to the crash site. "MINA set up an AAM. (Artificial Area Map)"
"Roger." Complied MINA.
Shade looked at the map MINA set up and said. "Whoa this is gonna take a while."
"Quit your whining Shade." Giggled Reina.
"Alright MINA lets start this." Said Shade.
"Roger. The crash site is spread to 3 miles in radius. I suggest we check there first." MINA suggested.
Fortune flew toward a giant carrier ship, somewhat covered in sand, the innards were tangled and burnt from a fire obviously. The boosters were wasted to no extent. Also the packages were mostly crashed on the ground. It was hard to tell what color the ship was due to all of the sand on, in, and around it. The ship was also burnt to almost a crisp which gave it an eerie blackish color. Shade flew to the loading docks and replied.
"Alright Reina we're looking for any metatron of use correct?"
Reina answered. "Correct check from the loading docks in the back to the front for any traces at all, if you come up inconclusive look for some around the neighboring area."
Shade responded. "Alright."
Fortune checked around in the loading dock and found nothing but some spare parts for some LEVS. Fortune then flew into the main decking halls and noticed that the entire hall was cleaned out, it was strange because usually the parts of the decking bridges are lying on the ground after an attack. But from the looks of it someone cleaned it out or stole it.
"Reina?" Said Shade. "Who shot down this ship?"
"Some of BAHRAM'S forces, I think about three airships. Why?"
"This place looks like it was looted."
"Probably by some scavengers. They are always looking for useless junk to sell for scraps. It's actually sad."
Fortune continued it's way through the carrier to the hanger. All of the LEVS were gone as well. Their was traces that some LEVS did rest in that place. But Shade couldn't figure out why some scavengers would want some damaged LEVS. Fortune finally made it to the front of the carrier where a large hole rested from where it was shot down. The frame left the carrier and looked for some traces of metatron around the area. Five hours past and Shade found nothing.
"Reina, I'm not finding anything, You sure that this is the right place? The traces of radiation I picked up earlier could be from the exit wound." Said Shade.
"I'm more than positive that this is the place. My monitor picked up positive traces of metatron."
"Do you think that some scavengers could've picked up the metatron?"
"Doubt it, scavengers think that metatron is useless junk. They usually don't have tracers that pick up value of an object."
Shade looked over to his left and picked up a small object to the far right corner of his hut. "MINA. Zoom in on the object at 56 by 68 degrees."
"Roger. The object seems to be an abandoned military base. Shall we proceed there?" Asked MINA.
"Yes." Replied Shade. "I wanna find out what that thing is doing there."
Fortune flew at great speed toward the base. It finally made contact with it. The top was a communication tower with working lights on the top of it. There was a door leading to underground with the words "BAHRAM Base 0010."
"Reina I'm gonna check this out." Shade said.
"Ok I'll look for a AAM on this place. Good luck."
