Over the course of the next few hours, the rain turned from heavy to downpour to a nation-sized waterfall. Khan's predictions of what the rain might be like were proving to be woefully inadequate, and only the fact that they had used Hunter technology to build a reinforced retaining wall behind the trenches was keeping the camp from completely flooding.
The lightning was constant and seemed to be getting worse, but they couldn't detect anything above cloud level with their sensors, so it was making it very difficult for Nico and Khan to do a proper analysis.
The scene looked a bit familiar to Max, though. When the Rebel Fleet had committed to a large-scale orbital bombardment while Max and his team were guarding a bridge, there was lightning and rainfall like this.
It had flooded everything around him to the point that even the Line Mecha were in danger, and anything downhill from his position became completely impassible thanks to the current and depth.
