The UH-1N was being followed by a number of Pegasi equivalent to that of a modern Platoon, reached the mountains. However one of the personnel in the twin Huey got a bad premonition, they've been attempting to contact Director through his radio, but he wouldn't respond.

(Sofia POV)

I eventually noticed the same man peaking out of the Side-Door of the Aurelian Helicopter, making hand signals, which almost confused me, until I managed to understand after awhile of trying to decipher it. They were signalling us to land soon.

"Men, we are landing soon. We have arrived."

I looked down to see a building with interesting architecture and a large black circular platform, with a White H painted at its centre. The Aurelian helicopter descended onto the pad, while we zipped down to a fairly large surface adjacent to the building.

(Yeah it has no helipad, this is the closest image to what I had in mind, just try to imagine helipad in... Umm... Oh uh, right there in that small rectangular plot of fake grass next to the artificial pond)

"Strange... Director should've identified the sound of a helicopter..." one of the men in the distance said.

"I'll be calling Director, to see where he is." One of the men approached us after taking the stairs and he pulled out a small device. He held it by his head and pressed one of its buttons but then we suddenly heard a strange noise.

*distant static*

All of us approached where the sound was, eventually passing several foliage's until we found a small spot by the edge of the cliff. And saw a small object resembling that of a table with a similar device placed on its surface.

"This is..." I uttered

"This is Director's." We all looked around.

"All personnel, be on high alert and search the area, the Director's not within our current vicinity."

I continued walking for quite awhile through the Rocky and forested areas of the mountain to reach this opening. I also forced myself to memorize where I went to prevent me from getting lost just in-case I lose contact with Aurora by phenomenal means.

'Alright, here it is' she said which made me stop, and look at a vine-covered rock face.

"Umm..." I uttered. That's when I felt my body chill a bit, I looked to see my left arm form Luminescent Bright-blue Geometric lines. Before it quickly dissipated once more.

'Sorry for the chill, my quite limited physical interactions do not come without side-effects, Please place your hand on the rock face.'

"O—kay? So is anything unexpected supposed to occur or-" my left hand's lines glowed brightly Sky-blue once more, before the glowing cracks begin to spread across the rock face.
