Several hours went by after the Dark Zephyr set off on its scouting mission.
The light mech had flown far out of sight and possibly out of contact as it fearlessly flew past hordes of fish-whales.
Even if the feral fishes were alarmed, they only chased for a certain amount of time before they stopped their pursuit.
The fish-whales simply couldn't catch up with the light and fast expert mech! As long as the Dark Zephyr moved out of sight, the aliens simply lost track of the machine and returned to their docile routines.
Venerable Tusa grinned with excitement as he surveyed the distant terrain.
The space inside this phase whale enclave was quite odd. As his Dark Zephyr flew up and left the surface, he could see that the gate was essentially built on a large asteroid.
Much of it was barren but the Dark Zephyr detected various diverse terrain features in the distance.
