Sixteen tons and what do I get?

[Dracos]

It was mid-afternoon when he arrived in the hilly mountains behind Sixton, all manners of furry animals crawling around, but not noticing him.  He was probably a little hungry by now, so it was good he brought a lunch.  The place was quite peaceful.  Almost a little too peaceful really.

The young boy sat down to start in on his lunch, pulling out his map of the area as he tried to figure out the best way to get to where he thought the metallic object came down.

[Dracos]

There were really only two routes.

He could try the underground caves...

Or he could try climbing around the peaks.

The young boy considered for a moment before deciding on the caves. Exploring the caves was fun all by itself, but now he had a real reason to do so.

[Dracos]

The caves it is then.  Beautiful caves indeed!  This time of year, the caves had dozens of beautiful rock formations showing as he traveled through.  He'd have to be careful though, it was quite slippery.  The journey was mostly peaceful, the caves not having many animals in them.  He spotted a few squirrels running away, but nothing too odd.

Phil tied a long line at the entrance to the cave, having done a bit of spelunking here before - no sense in getting lost. With flashlight in one hand and the string paying out of his pack, he began his descent into the depths of the cave.

[Dracos]

Phil's preparations were sure to serve him well, carefully documenting his path behind him.

It was many hours before he came to the outside, seeing the full moon shining down through the cave opening.

Phil wiped his brow with his arm. While the caves were cool, they were also kinda humid - nice to get out for a breath of fresh air. Taking a moment to look around, he tried to get his bearings in relation to where the strange metallic object should have come down.

[Dracos]

It couldn't be far now.  He'd walked quite a ways under the mountains.

[Halbarad]

Phil headed for the nearest height to take a good look around. Whatever that thing was, it should have left SOME kind of indication that it was here - even just something like a crater.

[Dracos]

Looking around...he heard a strange humming noise comming from the valley nearby.

Dracos

[Halbarad]

The young boy blinked in surprise - what around here could be humming? While the idea that the strange metallic object could be a UFO, he hadn't really taken the thought seriously, until now. Moving cautiously, he approached the source of the strange noise...

[Dracos]

Heading closer, he could vaguely see down into the valley...but he could clearly hear sounds of some construction happening here.

Dracos

[Halbarad]

Phil kept on, wondering what anyone - even aliens! - could be building up here. These mountains were miles from anywhere. Maybe a secret base? He grinned at the thought, but what if that's REALLY what it was?

[Dracos]

He came across some piles of junk... well, not junk persay, but discarded equipment.  Lots of nifty looking stuff.
