Perils await you on this journey. But nothing relevant happened this time.

title Nothing Here

A bunch of metal spikes and plates protrude for the terrain ahead, remnants of human vehicles, mostly rusted away. Easy to step over or walk around.

event null_4
title Nothing Here

---
You spot the remains of a walled citadel entrenched atop a nearby hill.
A wide breach in the corroded walls seem to suggest how the settlement might have met its end.

event null_5

Dead trees and branches give way to the weight of the automaton.
The dry wood, too brittle to be useful, now only serves as a reminder of the once lush forests that covered the area.

event null_6
title Alert
icon combat
---
The AI sensors flag various warnings. /!\ THREATS INCOMING /!\ The sirens on board trigger simultaneously breaking the stillness in the open air.

event null_6_1
title Nothing Here

The heavy machine stops. No more thuds or shaking. Only a clear and sharp warning piercing the ears of nearby wild life. Nothing happens, the sensors must’ve picked up a false alarm.
---
> Better get those sensors checked

end

event null_6_2
title Nothing Here
icon combat
---
The engine starts pumping more fuel, thick billowing smoke is vomited from the chimney as the moving fortress picks up speed. After a short time the sensors go quiet. Looking back, nothing can be seen.

A small infight breaks in the living quarters.
Fortunately, nothing irreparable happens.

event null_8
title Nothing Here

---
The loud crashing sounds of the claws echo in the valley.
Occasionally, the claws slip on the smooth rocks, in search for stable footing.

event null_9
title Lucky Find
icon generic
---
A skewed large metal sign emerges from the tall grass. It looks like a signpost to the remnants of a service station.

The half submerged tanks are dry. Grass and other thin bushes are growing at the bottom of one of the gas tanks.

event null_10
title Lucky Find
icon human
---
A lonely hut stands atop a nearby hill, a little away from the current course.
The sensors do not not detect any sign of life.
---
> Approach the building
[] null_10_1
> Ignore the hut and continue on the journey
[] home
end 

event null_10_1
title Nothing Here
icon human
---
Barely standing under its own weight, the small building trembles as the automaton approaches.
Whoever lived in the hut, has long since left, and now only dust remains.

title Lucky Find

A thin column of smoke grabs the automaton’s attention. At its source, a group of four mud huts and metal shacks, placed in a circle, can be seen in the distance.

Lifeless bodies are put on display around the settlement. Raiders must have made it here first.

event null_12
title Mystery
icon human
---
A tall, slender tower stands in the distance.
The sensors read a faint signal coming from the ancient construction.
---

event null_12_1
title Mystery
icon human
---
The superstitious humans advise you to avoid the place. Stories tell that nothing good ever came out of it.
---
> Approach anyway
[] null_12_2
> Acknowledge the advice and leave
[] home
end 

event null_12_2
title Nothing Here
icon human
---
The menacing tower loses more of its appeal at each step. Holes and gaps become more and more visible. No inquiry is needed, the silence suffices to reveal there is nothing left here.

event null_13
title Mystery

---
Skeletons of broken buildings appear in the distance. What used to be tall towers and blocks are not almost entirely leveled with the ground. 
---

[] null_13_1
> Do not disturb the ancient graveyard

end 

event null_13_1
title Nothing Here
icon generic
---
As expected, no human life can be found. Small rodents take shelter in holes in the concrete, waiting for the automaton to leave.

title Mystery

As the metal creature reaches the top of a hill, a large crater can be seen in the distance. A short detour could get you close enough to see if there’s anything interesting. 
---

end

event null_14_1

---
Grass grows at the bottom of the crater, roughly 1km in diameter. Blocks of stone, or maybe smoothed cement, pop out of the tall grass, especially around the small ponds that have formed here and there.
