Retra.
~Outer Rim
~~Jandoon System
~~~Corva Sector
Moments pass as Retra continues to look for the main entrance to the Brizzit city. She knew it would probably be a small crawl space of a door, seeing as how the insectoid race were rather small compared to humanoids. She looked around the ruins and seen that there were dozens of small slits in the walls that she overlooked as windows or makeshift climbing rungs etched in the stone, but really they just may have been tiny doorways for the old civilization. Retra gains a running start and with her adapted gravity pressurized suit and hops along the corner of a ruin wall and places a hand on one of the openings, centering her body around the slit and sliding herself over and into the large area concealed by more stone and etchings on the inside walls. She drops a dozen feet down onto the surface. She was like a walking giant among the minimalized locale.
Boop.
In the distance, a distant separation away, Retra heard the sound of...something. It sounded like crumbling of rocks or a cluster of the ruins falling apart even more than they already were. Her mind instantly took her to the other occupants here on the planet with her. It was a big coincidence, no one EVER came out here, and for her to not be the only one on this entire haunted planet, she knew that it probably had something to do with her, and most definitely something to do with the reason she came here. She activates her avian goggles and scans the area to see no other life signatures. Added the fact her radar hadn't went off yet meant she was in good business. She was pretty high up amid the ruins, looking down into the fields of grass and stone rubble. Not even winged life in the sky. The bleak orange horizon spreads over the ground softly. Using her M.U.D. Retra pulls up a topological schematic of the current ruins she occupied, to see that the ruins spiral down into the earth for about 1.3 miles.
"Well....[sigh] here we go..."
Retra moves back inside the ruins from the upper ledges of the structure and looks down into the vines and pits of what once used to be an entire civilization. The sun beams through the small slits of the ruins, showing golden dust and frays of light down onto the dark pits below. Retra activates her X-Ray vision to see nothing, as expected. She jumps from about three stories up and down onto the hard gravel surface with a silent impact, the force from her Eco-Suit granting her extra sustenance when she hit the ground. She removes her helmet and lets the humid air blow through her hair, closing her eyes and trying to feel the energies of the planets and the universe. Her force starts to radiate and her spirit becomes filled with an inner feel of yearning. Something happened here that left a bunch of unfinished desires. Something that cancelled the Brizzit's society and their function as a race.
Retra walks closer towards the edge and peers down the spiraling structure leading down into the abyss. Scanning the walls, she sees more drawings of insectoid people all flying and carrying items such as foods, trade materials, and smaller youth of their race. No sign of what she was looking for however...
Suddenly something snaps Retra's head around faster than whiplash, a sound. More like a whisper. Like someone or something was calling to her from the pit below. Her heart begins to race as the whispers become more prominent, not in sound but in feeling. She could feel like there were other presences there. The haunted stories seemed much more like reality at this moment. She quietly and slowly draws her Light-Bow and readies it steadily at the descending pit. She remains as quiet as a mouse. She gradually creeps over towards the edge with the bow drawn and lunges her legs to have her balance while peering her torso down into the dark below. Nothing.
"Crap."
