Welcome to Gaia! ::

Micah was on edge. The heat and the emptiness of the desert did nothing good for his nerves. He paced around the perimeter of the base, waiting for Becca to return; she'd read an anomaly on her sensors, and told him firmly to stay put while she investigated. That seemed counterproductive to Micah, since the whole point of him being there was so that she'd have someone who could go for backup if necessary and being separated kind of made that more difficult, but she hadn't seemed to be concerned when he mentioned it.

The rippling heat rising off the sand made him think he was seeing things a few times, and each time they vanished as he got closer. This one was probably going to be no different. He approached cautiously, but the skeletal face with its fluttering shadows didn't disappear yet. Maybe it was something. Maybe it was Becca's anomaly, he thought uneasily, and summoned Nova, stopping a cautious distance away.
