Ord Biniir - Imperial Listening Station
Commander Jonathen Baize had been sent to routinely inspect the small garrison stationed at the remote listening station tucked into the Ord Biniir wilderness. He was a day into his inspection when the odd occurrences started. They began losing power sporadically, flashes at first, and then the entire base at gone offline. Communication had also gone done, something blocking all incoming and outgoing messages.
Just before the base had gone dark, they had sent a request out for assistance but had never heard anything back. Then the mist came, it settled in one morning, which was a normal enough occurrence, but it didn't burn away in the morning heat; it had persisted for the last two days.
The base Commander had sent a squad out to the nearby power station, but that squad had been MIA for the last six hours. Their situation was growing a little precarious. Jon, who was not in Command, offered what advice he could. The fellow Commander was inexperienced, clearly never having had to face much in the way of tough situations.
On the morning of the third day, Jon found himself standing atop the wall surrounding the outpost. He stared out into the mist, swearing there was something moving about.
