There was little sign of movement or activity at first, until Astraea approached what looked like some kind of crater more or less in the middle of the roadway she was on. Something green glinted light up from the broken in centre of the circle, but she had barely had time to set eyes on it before a trio of metool climbed out of the hole and took a moment to steady themselves on the cracked ground, clicking their digging implements together with happy expressions. As they did, however, one spotted Astraea and faced her, it waved its pickaxe threateningly at the approaching mechanic while another gave a her a loud, warning 'Meep!'
The sound seemed to draw attention from other things, however, and the little virus looked around with apparent shock as a small cloud of bats burst up from a nearby tree; most of them flew away, but one flapped closer instead. Off to the other side, a pair of bunnies sprinted out from between an obscured section of rocky ground, ears crackling as the approach the centre. They were followed by a bounding musical note that seemed more interested in jumping on any moving target it could see than any more important goal. Not far away, the heavy metal clanking revealed a pair of ancient-looking stoves that had shaken themselves out from what might have once been a ruined stone hut and began to bang their grills open and shut repeatedly as they moved towards the data, and the trio that had uncovered it.
From further up the road, Astraea also spotted one more figure; it looked like a metool, but where it had been walking before it now took to running with an unusually determined pace. It was wearing an old cloak of greying fabric, with a blue trim on the inside, and its helmet looked quite weathered.
