[ Of the three scouting locations, Pesseria Forest is probably the one that Miller is the most familiar with. In that sense, it was fortunate to receive this assignment. Less so, however, is the notion that familiarity for one's surroundings seems to be an unreliable advantage when the world around them is constantly shifting, phasing new problems in and out as it pleases. But although there is very little for them to rely on, they've made the trek here as assigned all the same, and Miller has prepared himself with as much gear as seemed reasonable to assume they'd need.

As strangers to each other before this mission, there is a small sidebar for introductions before they make their way into the thick of the forest. Miller makes the suggestion of heading for the bunker first. From that point onward, the conversation takes a backseat to concentrating on the surroundings... And it isn't long before something strange becomes visible to them ahead. If it weren't for its color, it would blend in quite well among the thick plants. The only real path they're on is one beaten down by the frequent footsteps of those before them.
