Outskirts of the Unexplored Wooded Area, Wednesday Afternoon

There'd been weird noises coming out of the woods this morning. Kaidan had cut short his morning jog because of it-- this wasn't just the loud drilling of machines, but it sounded like some kind of... monster, almost. A tiger? A lion? Something like that.

So he'd done the only sane thing he could - he'd fallen back, gotten his guns, and placed a call to someone who could back him up.

That brought them back here, by the edge of the woods.

"I should've brought a shotgun," Kaidan muttered.
