The Stone Pillar

As we approached the giant floating black stone pillar that was hovering in the air, I noticed a few animals that looked a little like cows grazing the pale green grass a short distance away.

They noticed us as well but didn't even run away and just stayed where they were, probably either that they don't recognise us as their predators or they don't have any.

Since they were already there anyway, I just went ahead to do a scan of them with my Codex just to log them as a survey entry for this planet in case we ever come back here.

Turning my attention back on the pillar, I noticed that there were odd markings on the surface of the pillar. Which I suppose wasn't really that surprising since I kind of have seen these types of things in the game before.

No, not this particular pillar but there's events where they have special locations that look weird like this just to make the locations in the game more interesting.
