North Field Vast golden fields cover nearly a third of the Agricultural District, fields of wheat and corn and the rare golden grape. Pleasant little farmhouses dot the terrain, isolated from each other and connected only by narrow roads criss-crossing the area. The one true road that passes through the region connects the Central Field and Silo Dome.

The fields were like a second home to Athan. He had spent his life raising similar crops, but these were, well...they were certainly bigger. Though the life of an adventurer was certainly more appealing and rewarding to Athan, he wouldn't forget his humble beginnings so easily. Instead of trying to find a path to work through, Athan decided to head straight through the field. He had expected some sort of complaint from his crew, the Gaia 9 News team as well as their inept body guard, along with a pair of Greywater mercenaries tagging along in eerie silence. "We never got your name. If we make it out of this alive I'd rather have you remember instead of this moron."+~~+ If your heart is too big +~~+
"Hey!" +~~+ Then your chest is too small +~~+ "My name's Athan. But don't you think you should be waiting until you're actually out of here?" Hunter, who had already complained about his hunger, soon became distracted by the grapes, and moved to snatch one from a vine. The rest of the crew, meanwhile continued East.

As he was following Athan, he noticed the dome in the northeast. He stops, looking toward it, making note of its position, then continues to the east after Athan.

[The Water Plant ->]
Over yonder did the target lie, and across the field will the chimera travel to get there, to the land of explosions in the distance to the east.
Oh, and he ripped an ear of corn off a stalk as he went on through the field, and began munching on it. And no, he didnt care if it wasnt ripe or whatever.

Gambion shuffled into the fields, looking around for a place to hunker down for a while. He made his way through the fields until he found an old shed to hide in for a while. Nobody would be following him. Quote: Jacknife is also well trained in tracking, sneaking, and leaving no trace himself. His training began due to his younger years being spent in the forest, then was continued at the hands of the Gaian Military after he was recruited as a scout and spy. It is impossible to track Jacknife when he is on foot through any sort of wilderness unless he is leaving some sort of obvious trail. He pulled off his cloak and cut a few strips from it with a knife, binding the strips around his wounds, though the one in his back would need to be looked at. It was still decently well blocked off, but it would still bleed a little bit. ((Stealth Mode))

[From the District of Steel] Kraun Wahoozerman He twisted on the ground and scrabbled up just enough to take off at a limping sort of hustle behind the buildings, heading for the fields to get away from the gunfire and explosions for a minute. If he could clear his head he would be able to head back and help out in a much more effective way. Like... the buildings that Tzenidaar was just up against as he arrived in the area from the Northern Field? He had just put his sword through the wall when someone came up right around the corner. And of course, Tzenidaar had a stupid look on his face at the moment. The ******** was this guy? "Well hello to you, 'ya dumb mother ******** corner of his lip split into a wicked grin, almost cracking the stony surface of his skin. And so it appeared that this guy was running without replying to the chimera. HOW RUDE. He'd obviously give chase, so BAM, here he was.

((From Central Field))
Shin wandered into the North Field which was essentially just more and more crops to walk through. Because of the dense amount of agriculture, Shin was unable to see others that were moving through this area and they were unlikely to see him.

Athan came jogging from the east around the same time an APC started heading in from the west. Athan was in a bit of a hurry, so it was pretty understandable when he turned around, slapped the makeshift newt/string/stick 'camera' out of Cameron's hands, grabbed the guy by his wrist, and threw him forward.
"MOVE!"
Once everyone started running at an appropriate speed, Athan was a much happier customer.
The APC spun through the field, the back end popped open, and Athan started herding his party into the armored vehicle.
Corn rash be damned, these people needed to get to safety. Not because they were super important to the mission or anything, though. It was because Athan needed some more answers. He had taken care of one problem and got nowhere, now it was time to pick their brains for what they knew. Cloud had complained about some evil company, Cameron was viewing the entire ordeal through an eyepiece, and Hunter was a reporter. Even if Alpha wasn't here, something was going on, that robot was enough to confirm it.
Even if their reporting had ended when the spider showed up, they must have seen something while running.
It was time to find out what.

All was clear on the western front, and Athan was the last one to pile into the APC. The news crew ducked their heads forward and let out a bit of an exasperated sigh, and Athan just looked over the crew assembled.
"Alright guys."
The APC started taking off, and Athan shifted with the sudden change in acceleration. He snagged a harness, then straightened up.
"Time to tell me everything you know. From rumors to whatever you saw with your own two eyes. I want it all, from each of you, from the moment you set foot in Frostschild to now."
The APC bumped up and down as it carried its cargo through the field, heading back to the temporary Greywater base. (Northwest, to the Water Plant)

"Lessee. Essentialy you saw it, we really only have what we broadcasted and what you just tackled back there."
Cameron held up the string/newt/rock camera.
"Oh! And we got a few clear shots of the robot thing."

"That...I thought I..."
Athan sighed and ran a hand through his hair.
"Great."
He cast his eyes upward, took a deep breath, and attempted to calm himself before continuing.
"We're going to put you in protective custody unless you'd rather run and hide every time I come across something more dangerous than him."
He pointed a finger at Cloud.
"Any objections, feel free to voice them now so I can have the driver let you out."
If there were none, they'd be rolling on out to the Water Plant.

He spun around with his hand out and his eyes close, choosing to let his direction become the decision of chanced. One, Two, Three. His eyes opened and his feet started moving off in the direction he was now facing, the northeast.

Gambion opened his eyes. s**t, he had fallen asleep in this damn shed. That wasn't a good idea. At least nothing had busted in on him. He felt a bit better as well, though his left side was a bit stiff. His little nap had re-energized him and now he was ready to make a trip to... Where... Damn. Well, he better get moving regardless, maybe he could catch someone on his phone and figure out where everyone was. For now he would just head through the fields to see where he could end up. Quote: Jacknife is also well trained in tracking, sneaking, and leaving no trace himself. His training began due to his younger years being spent in the forest, then was continued at the hands of the Gaian Military after he was recruited as a scout and spy. It is impossible to track Jacknife when he is on foot through any sort of wilderness unless he is leaving some sort of obvious trail. As he ducked and moved quickly and quietly through the fields, he whipped out his phone and started scrolling through numbers. Hopefully this damn thing would work. arrow Central Fields
