The room provided a view toward an even larger room, which was evidently the source of the noise and vibrations. In that room were a tremendous amount of machines that were hard at work. What I saw, I certainly did not like.
What they were doing looked very familiar to me. A process I've seen many times in my career. These things were most definitely preparing for battle. I could give you five guesses on who they were planning to attack, but I am certainly you'll only need one. I believe they are planning some world domination of their own.
At this point, my ammo was getting low. So I avoided trying to get into the battle assembly room and focused on getting out of the cave. I found a door that led me into another room.
At first glance, this room appeared to have a long pathway leading into the opposite direction in which I entered. There were blue electrical flashes pulsating down the path. From what I could tell, this was some type of launch area. This was probably my best shot of escaping the area.
I moved around the room and tried to figure out how to trigger the doors to open on the other side. For now, they appeared to be locked. More and more of those alien-things arrived into the area. I wondered if they were looking for me, or if there was something else going on. The ground began to shake more and more.
I saw what appeared to be smoke or a vapor pushing down that same pathway I called the launch pad earlier. Were they planning to launch the attack now? That certainly made sense. The amount of smoke/vapor increase, as did the pressure. Slowly I navigated over to the area - being very careful to avoid being noticed by all the things currently in the room with me.
I got close to the smoke/vapor and pushed myself in. I begin to swim with the motions and my speed increased. I pushed through the door on the other side and for the first time in what seemed like several hours I could see the grassy hills and the blue skies of the outside. I could see the VTOL flying in to rescue me.
I moved toward the outside and heard a massive sound coming from behind me. I quickly turned back to cloak mode and noticed that a ton of those machines exited the cave too.
The good news is that I've escaped the cave and am still alive. The bad news is that more of those alien-machine-things are also on the outside. The worse news, I think the VTOL was taken out by the machines!
It is starting to get really cold now ... I need to figure out what the heck is going on!
I will be back in touch soon!
Nomad ... signing out.
