Mission 1.2: Sinister Trail

Seeing as the suicide squad team is ready, the mechanics proceed to open up a large garage door. As it grinds open, the air of the outside world blows in, causing a few coughs from those that barely shield their noses and mouths. Luckily, the all the team members are in the truck, which also have its own ventilation system to filter out whatever unpleasant particles the atmosphere has.
Once the path is clear, the Matsuki sends the vehicle out, and into the gravelly surface of Mersk...

The journey went on in silence. There may be occasional chatter to pass the time. The scenery through the window of the vehicle shows the same scene of a grey landscape.

Zakk was watching the scenery by himself, when he suddenly feel like there is something weird about the ground. Like a shadow of a line stretching across the field. This is when the rockstar realise that what he is seeing is actually a massive ravine running alongside the truck.

He tells Matsuki about it, who turns out to be surprised as she hadn't notice it. She continue to drive at a distance from the valley, thankful that at least there are others with her to be alert.

However, Tariq was disturbed by it. The thought of suddenly falling into such a monstrously large hole gave him chills. Even he, who had was stationed at the planet, does not know if such a structure is a natural occurrence, or if something have caused this destruction. (Tariq received 1 will damage)

Matsuki drives on, being in her zen mode. This caused her speed to slow down a bit, but still at decent pace. She keeps her eyes on the drop to her right, and when it seem to stop going on, she drives around it. Whatever it is, it's like a great earthquake have split the ground.

A few hours passed, and now the Spacers can see that they are passing by a massive hole on their right. The passengers can observe that it looks to be carved out, with the form of a smooth spiral funnel. Like a drill the size of a stadium had tried to bore through it. However, any signs of the machines that could have made it is now gone. In fact, no signs of human contructs can be seen in this barren wasteland.
