D6 - EM/LM - Snow Blind

"Sarcasm." Karlotta replied, clinging to herself to shield against the cold.

[Dr. Reinhardt]

"Yeah i would say so, the base is likely underground, lets see if the hover system can take that path"

[Comstar]

The path did at least seem relatively clear, so it wasn't going to be impossible to advance into the canyon if they wanted.

[Dr. Reinhardt]

Taking the most passable route for the hover tank the Doctor eased them down into the Canyon "Eyes open everyone lets see if we can spot an entrance"

The track remained remarkably level as they wove through the ice canyon, little effort necessary to go from the unassuming landing site toward their destination.

After a series of switchbacks and several minutes, it came into view. There was a large metal gate set into the side of the canyon, which had been frozen open centuries before. As they passed through the half buried steel structure, they could feel a sense of lost grandeur sweep over them, as the full fortress came into view.



Beyond the gates, a small valley lay between snowy peaks, ringed by mountains. nestled in the center was a large facility, mostly frozen over on the outside, seemingly abandoned, yet still remarkably intact, thanks in no small part to the relative stillness of limbo. The installation was larger than Calico and almost as tall, with reinforced steel walls and ancient banners, sun faded and frozen against the metal walls, likely to crack into fragments at the lightest touch.

It was eerily still and quiet as they approached, the ground in front of the facility clear, in what any soldier would recognize as a defensive kill zone and drill yard. Turrets could be seen among the nearby crags, motionless and ominous.

As he slides the tank down into the chasm he says, "If anyone sees anything say something, anything like...well....like that"

[Comstar]

As the APC crawled closer, the sensors beeped a warning.

There were elements of explosives in the air.

[Aloysius Jones]

Aly scanned the defenses carefully, looking for any sign they might be active.

[Comstar]

He didn't see any signs the defenses were operational, but he could see spots along the cliff face above the base where something had, at some point, been excavated and then filled back in.
