Ruins stretched for as far as the eye could see, the outlying areas a
mixture of twisted metal and scorched earth, punctuated by the skeletal
remains of combatants both mechanical and biological.  There was no life to
be seen as far as the horizon, blood red in the reflected bare light that
filtered through the scorched cloud cover.  A keening sound overhead drew
their gazes as a wounded AV fell from the sky, its blocky structure unable
to stay aloft as smoke trailed from its engines.  Crashing to the earth at
the base of the hill they stood upon, it exploded into a minor sun, etching
ghostly images of its dying on their retina.  As they blinked away the
afterimages, the flames from the wreck illuminated the outlines of a trench
running beneath the ruined vehicle that ran parallel to the hill that they
were standing upon, before intersecting with others, forming a maze running
beneath the surface of the broken terrain.

Shouts over the hill gave wings to their flight as the trench grew closer.
But even as they began to be able to make out the details of the trench, a
flash of light caught Dot's attention.  Possibly binoculars- or a weapon
scope- but which, she was not sure.  The fact that the sky was not abuzz
with tracers was a positive sign, but more than that was not immediately
evident.
