I pushed through a violent-deadly sandstorm that depleted my energy and made photo mode lightning captures nearly impossible. After crossing a river with a ladder to escape the storm, I drank an energy booster, reached the automated lab where I delivered the cargo, and activated the network connection.
So, after taking care of the MULE camp, I started moving toward the research lab to deliver the channel network gateway. But I noticed the sandstorm was coming my way, watching the massive brown cloud slowly erase the mountain outlines ahead.
Or was it that I was moving into the sandstorm? Well, I kept moving ahead and it looked like the environment started becoming worse as the visibility started dropping down to a few meters.
As I tried to pass the sandstorm site first, I fell off on the ground for the heavy wind. There, Sam looked so weak as his energy level depleted a lot, his stamina bar flashed red as he struggled to push his weight back up off the dusty ground.
After getting up, I kept moving ahead, but this time a little slower while I noticed there were lightnings happening all around me. And I tried to pause at the perfect time.
But after multiple tries, I failed to catch a perfect lightning, and I couldn't just stay inside that hellhole for a capture, you know, cause I had to prioritize the cargo's structural integrity over the perfect photo.
After coming out of that sandstorm, I reached this part from where I could see the distance lab afar, and the sandstorm was still behind me.
Now I started walking by a river line to look for a close way from this side to the other side, as I didn't want to get washed by the high current.
Then I found that rock in the middle of the waterline, so I placed a ladder there, and then I jumped the rest of the gap.
After jumping to the other side, I started running ahead, as it looked like the sandstorm was again trying to get to me. I noticed there was this big structure on the left side of me, and the lab on my right side.
I stopped there for a moment to drink something that would increase my energy, and yeah, it leveled up my whole energy. I watched Sam take a quick swig from his canteen to completely refresh his stamina reserve.
Now I could run first toward that research lab, which is not a property of Bridges anymore, it's a property of automated public assistance company.
After getting inside there, I accessed the access terminal and delivered the cargo, as Sam unloaded the heavy container from his back frame to initiate the verification scanning sequence on the terminal screen.
Then this hologram of a man came over to check the cargo and to say it's a relief that they'll be able to dispose of corpses properly once I will get them online.
Then the man asked me to use my Q-pid to bring them online. And used the Q-pid to connect this lab into the chiral network. I sat back to watch this memorable animation, enjoying the spectacular particle effects as bright strands laced across the system map.
Which shot was your favorite from today's set? Let me know in the comments. Until the next frame drops, keep exploring. Alpha Gamer, out.
