"Nothing here, either."
Eliza Kruger sighed, and tried to let herself relax. After the past forty-eight hours, it was far from easy. The Dynamic General Guardian walked through the blasted airfield slowly, head moving left to right, fresh smoke still fluttering across its vision. Hardly anything was left, she thought. Those... things... were like locusts. Part of her wanted to call in Ana, to be reassured by her voice - but she shook her head, no.
Hyperion had ordered that she complete this particular task herself. Part of her wondered if it was some kind of loyalty test, despite her never raising her hand against the man(?) for over six months. Was she willing to fight, to die for Terra Sentinel's ideals?
The Ruina were gone now, at least.
Shaking her head and finally flicking off the scanner, she prepared to phone in her report. No survivors, nothing left to salvage - and then stopped as soon as she cleared her throat, feeling her muscles tense as something caught her attention, just barely out of the corner of her eye.
Was that something moving among the smoke?
