Aerdan:
"Wait a minute... I'm picking up something very faint up north, about five miles. Could be nothing, could be something. Going to head that way a bit to see if I can get a clearer view," Adolf said. As he did, he directed his mech northward for up to a mile, perhaps to a mile and a half if he could.

Xander Morhaime:
"Acknowledged, Wolf. Will be backing you up," Kroenen replied. "Ravager, Lightning - flank right and keep a low profile. If there's anything out here, we should try to keep it in the dark about our force composition. Hold fire until target confirmation."

"Now, let's go get a quick look..."

"Patrol, be advised, going to pop up for an aerial view. If there's any fire incoming, try to track it," Kroenen added as he engaged Faust's A-pods to bring its head up above the treeline in the hopes of spotting whatever the contact might have been. However, he did not see anything that might indicate enemy activity. Still, better safe than sorry.

"Couldn't spot anything... though that doesn't mean nothing is out there. Wolf, on me, we'll investigate directly. Rest of you keep us covered and keep a low profile," he ordered, before switching to transmit back to base. "Karski outpost, Faust patrol here. We have some form of radar disturbance and are moving to investigate."

Gargulec:
'Roger that, Ahriman’

You abandoned the road, and traversed the hills that separated you from the source of the interferences. The land still bore scars from the previous war- you dimly remembered that it was Eastern Europe to be the first target of invading Nazzadi forces, and it got hit hard, not to say- obliterated. Numerous craters, now overgrown with vegetation made for a decent reminder of those events, along with a lone burn-out and rusted wreck of some of vehicle.

After a few more minutes of travel, you reached the place of origin of the interferences- a lakeside. Oddly, whatever was causing them seemed to be placed in under the greenish waters.

There were no signs of civilization here, and on the opposite side of the lake- some 250, 300 meters from you you could see the wall of trees that formed the border of the local forest, if that simple word could even start to describe the vastness of it. Even in the light of the day, they appeared somewhat menacing, no doubt in large part thanks to the rather horrible rumours you have heard in the base about the things that are said to dwell within... In different times, you could simply dismiss them, even more so that there was no solid proof of their existence apart from overheard tales, as simple superstitions, but not today. Not in Strange Aeon.

Xander Morhaime:
"Well, this is troublesome," Kroenen observed as he watched the lake surface. He figured his Engel could handle underwater work if it came to that, but wasn't sure how well the rest of the patrol would fare.

"Ravage, go around the lake shore, check for tracks. Lightning, go with and provide back up. Wolf, full sensor scan of the lake, keep weapons ready," he quickly gave out orders while activating all his own sensory systems to try and get a better idea of what might be in the lake. "Karski outpost, Faust patrol reporting. Source of disturbance appears to be within lake at our coordinates. We are investigating the site from shore presently," the lieutenant reported in calmly before turning his attention to the sensory readings from Faust.

Aerdan:
"Wolf acknowledges."

Adolf flipped on the targeting & thermal sensors, orienting both toward the lake, along with the radar systems. If it boiled some fish, well then, they'd have fish tonight.
