With the unit departing to assist their neighbours, Max began to make his way up the river, checking his sensors constantly for signs of danger or traps since this zone that he was entering had not had any attempt to clear it yet.
The river itself was clear of any sign of Klem for the first few hundred meters, as were the surrounding woods, but as he progressed, there were still some signs of pod slime on the riverbed, and finally, the last of the Klem workers that were transporting the precious cargo came up on his sensors.
The lake in front of him appeared to be full of Klem, as were the woods all around it and the air above the forests on the far side.
