Cancelled
All of the students from the expedition had been gathered and were taken to the First Year Assembly Hall. They weren't allowed to go back to their dorms or put away their equipment. All they could do was talk to one another and speculate why the expedition had been cancelled.
Slowly a strange atmosphere started to fill the room. It wasn't normal for such a thing to happen especially so sudden like that.
"I saw some of the mechs from the city leave the shelter." A student said.
"Seriously? Why would they mobilize those things, I thought they said the highest tier of beast on the planet was an intermediate tier."
"Didn't you hear?" Another student chimed in. "A student spotted black smoke off in the distance in the desert. It seemed like it was coming from a ship."
"You don't mean—?" the student gasped.
"That's right, I heard it might have been a Dalki." The other student replied.
