The teams are told at the checkpoint that security guards could not be cleared unless they were to stay for the duration of the research project.
The drones that take the place of the guards are however, sky, land-based as well as a few land-sky hybrids. They all appear to be next generation drones. At the next checkpoint, they are greeted by ST Director of Production, Liam Coleson. He explains that at this point in the territory, not even a foreign invasion force could reach us within a month. Coleson joins the crew, and the caravan continues to the heart of the field.
In this area can be seen numerous buildings: Factories, hangars, mines, farms, offices, and Research stations that were not here before. All areas are landscaped, modernized, and include a completely automated and functional public works system, including a monorail. Not five years ago, it was just an uninhabited mesa.
