Sergeant Lloyd and Fex had arrived on Planet Pascoloid. The atmosphere was dense with tension, a stillness that didn't belong. They were immediately briefed upon arrival, handed communicator phones which displayed the terrain layout and marked the last known locations of missing students.
Without wasting a second, the two launched into the mission. A small team had been assigned to accompany them, though they had all split into pairs and scattered across different sectors of the forest. The weight of responsibility hung thick in the air.
Lloyd and Fex moved with sharp awareness, their eyes scanning every shadow. It didn't take long before they encountered the first group of students—terrified, injured, but alive. Then a few more. They weaved through the deep forest, branches brushing against their armored suits, collecting the scattered survivors. In total, they had gathered twelve students.
But then they saw it—the cause of the chaos that plagued Pascoloid.
