The Refomation: Opportunity approaches I

After trekking in the forest fringes for hours, Ryan and Josh saw a shimmering light in a distance. Both men were suddenly animated by the sight of civilisation and the spring in their steps were restored as they doubled their pace to reach the friendly and reassuring light in the distance.

As they neared the light, a jarring mechnanical noise whirred louder in the air. The enormous building towering before them resemblanced a sprawling spider with long straight ground at its ends. It was an aerodome and space fighters were taking off and landing on the runways.

Ryan and Josh slowed down and creeped silently for the last mile towards the aerodome, not knowing they were meeting friends or foes. Both of them said prayers in their hearts and kept their fingers crossed as they approached soundlessly.
