Description
25 hours PSCS4The scouting mission was slow going, most of the terrain covered with the dense silvery forest. What wasn't was volcanic rock poking up through the dirt and ruffage. Looking for a Unsonian bunker on this planet was proving to be difficult. Even with the help of CU-18 they hadn't found any evidence of Centurion troops. The Punisher Combat Droid also known as Mozart had proven invaluable at sniffing out enemy strongholds. These robots were created with artificial intelligence in mind from the beginning. The best safe guard the scientists could see to prevent sentience was to make them sentient right out of the factory and treat them as equals. In the 100 or so years they have existed not one has thought of rebelling, at least not as much as any normal sentient being would.
They reached a tree line near a waterfall. Josh had a hunch they might find something here. The noise from the waterfall and the heavy brush would provide plenty of cover from the satalites orbiting the planet. Miller lept over a volcanic wall and headed for the forest. She must've had the same hunch. The ground crunched beneath their feet as they entered the dense forest.
"Commander I see something in infrared twenty yards from Millers position." Mozart chimed into Joshes ear piece.
"What do you see?"
"Commander, I'm not sure."
"Take a guess," Josh smirked.
"I never guess, but it matches multiple known designs of Terran missile silos, except its not Terran. Also I should mention this level of foliage growth suggests its been here over eleven years, Sir."

Think this could be more of a powerful image if the further away in the background you go the lighter it gets, youve sort of got it in the far background, but its lighter in the foreground. A general rule is the further the lighter and the closer the darker.
Also imagine the light coming from one direction, it seems to be coming from a few different places in the sky here.
Keep on working man.
