Mount Kuarttha

Water clings to the cliff face, gleaming in the returning sun. Their shadows are mere dark nicks against the slope, the mountain dropping away above and below them.

They stand at the edge. The forest lies far below them, carpeting the valley. Obzen rises in the middle. The faint murmur of the city drifts up the mountainside. The Kurukshetra hangs above, incandescent in the bright sky. Facility 17 lies on the shoulder of the mountain, and Mattriks nests at the base of Kuarttha.
