E.L.H. takes a scan of its surroundings. It then decides that the height that it's currently on isn't enough. E.L.H. looks up and then starts climbing up higher, or at least high enough to see and stay safe from falling off the debris. When E.L.H. reaches the highest point it can, E.L.H. takes a scan of the surrounding area. E.L.H. sees plenty of building rubble, or rather the rubble of an entire metropolis city. Several gigantic trees sprout up from the ground and reach the clouds above. Following the mission directives that it has set up for itself, E.L.H. starts looking for power charging materials and electrical building parts. Doing a scan, searching in a 360 angle, what E.L.H. discovers isn't what it wants to find, but it does spot several points of interest and events.
Taking in an internal map of the ruined city, E.L.H. spots an ocean bay to the east, a plains biome to the west, and a forest to the north. Each direction has some sort of pathing into it, perhaps used by whatever creatures remained on Earth. The forest consists of many unknown and enlarged plants. E.L.H. taking note of what they look like, making no sense of what they are and continues scanning the area. To the south is the lab where E.L.H. came out of.
"New Side Objective: Check The Lab Once Fuel Source Is Found"
Beyond the lab is a massive field of city rumble and then a massive crater. Nothing else but rumble as far as E.L.H. can scan. Zooming in on several figures moving around, E.L.H. spots unknown creature and unknown creature tracks. Observing them, E.L.H. makes out 3 current creatures, the first of which is incredibly huge. On the eastern ocean bay, floating on the water, is a lotus flower like creature. Chitin makes up of the entire creature with chitin petals covering several "holes". E.L.H. tries to make sense of the creature, but cannot come to a conclusion and gives up. E.L.H. then takes a recording of the creature and then proceeds to take a short recording. The next creature that E.L.H. spots are the mutated wolves. They weren't unknown, but they were seen wandering around the city. Perhaps hunting for something, E.L.H. does not understand their purpose and simple observes them. The last creature is a giant rodent creature. Unlike the mutated wolves and the lotus flower, the giant rodent looks much like a rodent with fur and skin, but at an enormous size. They also had incredibly huge front teeth.
While observing the giant rat, E.L.H. spots an interesting event. A mutated wolf encounters a rat while it is wandering around the city. Unlike the encounter with E.L.H., the wolf immediately bounds after it. With a size comparison, the rat is at least half the size of the wolf. The rat itself runs away from the wolf and into a tighter area. The area has plenty of hiding spaces and holes, perfect for a rat to hide. Just before the rat could get inside the hole, the wolf chomps the rat's tail and pulls it back out, throwing it backwards away from the hole. It then pins the rat to the ground with its jaws. Squeezing the jaws, it crushes the rat's spine and then carries it up, turning to leave. To its surprise, a large group of giant rats appear out of the rat sized holes. A fierce combat ensures as the rats jump the wolf, attacking from all sides. After a moment, the wolf is defeated with its limbs and head being torn apart by the giant rats. The rats themselves suffering injuries, take their injured and dead back into their holes.
E.L.H. focuses its attention elsewhere as the event had ended. While still scanning the area, E.L.H. comes to the conclusion that nothing else of current interest could be found and then focuses on the current missions. Looking at the building that it is currently on, E.L.H. scans the building for any sort of usable materials. The building has concrete, but lack major metals and alloys. In fact, there seems to be extra reinforcing of concrete, probably to reinforce parts that used to have metals. Perhaps there was a shortage of resources during the war with the Devours and the metals had to be stripped away. Despite the mission to find materials, E.L.H. could not find the materials needed to build a recharging station. Instead of wasting time and energy on looking in a probable useless direction, E.L.H. makes the decision to fully charge up on the high ground that it is currently on and await Anna's revival.
"Prioritizing Mission Objective: Awaken Anna".
Looking at its own battery life in the internal HUD, E.L.H.'s current battery is at 16%. E.L.H. plugs in its charger to Anna and waits for Anna and continues to scan the its surroundings.
