Cel motioned the security team to take up formation behind the senior officers as they headed towards to the camp. He took a place at the rear of the formation, slowing down to take a slow look around the area.

While at first everything seemed grey with the mists, Cel was able to detect subtle, but beautiful coloring in many of the things he saw. The mists were not uniform grey but had hints of the colors of the spectrum in places, brief, almost as though some ray of sunlight pierced through at that point momentarily. The rocks had layers of thin lichen that bore muted but lovely colors when one looked closely, as did the foliage that was about.

The camp did not take long to travel to. Sounds in the mist were dulled, but in the mist there was felt currents that drifted against them, a mix of sensations of air and a wave. Here and there were hints of some creature forming/appearing in the mist and then gone a moment later, often at the edge of the eye. The camp itself was orderly. Four tents made a half circle. Camp chairs and crates dotted the other half of the circle of the camp. Each was in tidy, neat groups. But all that said there was a slight dishevelment to it that gave it a ‘picked over’ look.

“Okay with the mists and the camp,” Lily said moving closer to Duncan, “kinda has a Dyatlov feel to it.” She let her voice hang in the air for a second before explaining. “In the 1950’s there was a group of hikers that got lost in the Urals. There was a terrible snowstorm and all the rescue people found was an empty camp and bodies.” Lily was not the type to easily get spooked but she could not help but feel like there were things just out of sight and touch. “Duncan,” she moved so close that she was almost touching him, “are you sure we are alone here? I feel like there are creepy crawly things all around us.”

Cel signaled the security detail to take up defensive positions around the senior officers. He did a slow 360 as they approached the camp site.

‘We are being watched, stalked.’ Squared said into Cel’s mind as he swept across the area. ‘You saw those shapes in the mists.’

‘Yes’ Cel replied to Squared.

“Keep your eyes open.” He ordered the security detail as he joined the senior officers at the camp site. He knelt down near the chairs and examined the area. “Someone else has been here besides the original owners.” He stated.

As they did that, the two figures who had been detected earlier slowly approached the camp. They were wearing what looked to be standard issue environmental suits with add on’s, though that could have been anything, technically, with the initial team being civilian. As soon as they saw the landing party they stopped as though to assess things before approaching the campsite.

Lily immediately brought up her medical scanner and scanned the forms. It was odd that they were in full environmental suits while the crew of the Wolverine was walking around like they were on the ship. If there was something in the mist that was not crew friendly it was better to find out now rather than later.
