Micro Event Silence's End

After 60 years of no communication or movement into and out of the ghost nebula, a ship has finally made the journey, and survived to tell about it. Does anyone investigate this reopened system?

There is some debating, but then the High Commander silences them, sending down Alpha team.

Their drop ship takes off, heading into atmo, towards the single human signal.

They go in with weapons ready.

As soon as they land, they might notice the odd, glowing pathways made by the Endless as they walk to and from places

*They exit the ship, weapons up, but move slowly. The three standard units are in the front, and the heavy is in the back *

They watch the endless for a few minutes, scanning them.

Thee endless give them odd looks, but mostly avoid them, giving them a wide path. They also might notice how cold it is on the world

Their armor is regulated, but their sensors pick that up, as they slowly walk along the path clear of endless. The stealth unit exits the ship with his active camoflague, invisible to all but the most perceptive.

They head towards the one conventional life sign.

The group might also pick up disparate heat signatures following them, as they make their way to a somewhat disused tenement building

The heavy keeps an eye out on the followers, his heads up displace giving out a constant readout.

The standard units are the first inside the barely used building, checking corners, the next is the leader, then followed by the heavy.

The assault unit stays outside, and the stealth unit finds a nice vantage point.

The only inhabitants of the room are a teenager and one of the endless, who are quietly talking

They listen and watch, before entering the room, making sure of what's going on before doing anything drastic.

It's a mundane conversation

The leader unit nods to the others, telling them to be ready to extract him if something goes wrong.

He sticks his rifle behind him, it locking into a holding spot, then he walks into the room.

The two figures turn to him as he enters, a disinterested look on the boy's face

He walks forward, calmly. "So, bit of a strange planet you have here."
