Abyss

The gravity-less pathway lead me into an area that reminded me of photos taken from the Abyssopelagic areas of the Earth's ocean - which are in depths of 4,000 meters and beyond. The area formed strange formations due to the atmospheric pressure and lack of sunlight. It was very dark and creepy, just like what I am seeing now. So, I would simply refer to this area as Abyss.



I navigated through what appeared to resemble tree branches, but were really metallic in design. While the area appeared to be very old in design, I soon began to see that blue-glow appear when I moved further into the Abyss area.



What looked like old sea life and trees was really machine-like parts that appear to serve a purpose similar to a machine room on a large ship. Was this the main power plant? I didn't think so, but this might be a substation serving a particular purpose.

I expected that someone or something would be monitoring this area, since it could be at risk for sabotage, but maybe my entrance into the area was still unannounced. I began to see something enter the area. I am guessing I wasn't unannounced after all.



Floating in front of me was certainly not a human creature that I had seen before. The binoculars allowed me to see a skeletal formation in the object, but it was far from human. So far, it didn't realize I was in the area. Thank you, cloak function of the Nanosuit!

When I got within 5 meters of the object, I used the machine gun to pump quite a few rounds into what I am guessing is an alien. I can't believe I actually think I just saw and destroyed an alien. I wonder if I am going to wake up in a minute ... indicating this was nothing more than a dream. I wonder if I am still only 8 years old?

Moving onward, dream or no dream, I reached an area where I could not push forward. The current from the next area was pushing me backward. In front of me, there were several items glowing a gold-like color.



From what I could tell, those gold beams might be controlling the current. So I used my SCAR to shoot at one of the gold beams to my right.



The item exploded on impact and I was able to move forward up the path.

Another door is waiting for me up ahead. So far, I haven't noticed any more of those aliens. Now I wonder if I really did destroy that last alien ... or maybe it was a mirage. Well ... if it was a mirage, where did my bullets go?

I am going to move forward toward the next area. Hopefully, I will be back in touch soon.

Nomad ... signing out.
