Moonlight spread quietly across the forest.
Light snow continued falling from the dark sky, drifting gently through the cold night breeze.
The chilly wind rustled the leaves overhead while carrying the distant sounds of machinery from inside the hidden compound.
The deep rumble of numerous steam engines echoed throughout the construction base.

Large steam trucks stood parked inside the compound while workers moved busily between them.
Groups of laborers carried massive sealed metal containers before loading them into the cargo compartments of the waiting trucks.
The entire place remained active despite the late hour.
Smoke continuously rose from several tall chimneys deeper inside the base.
The glowing torch pillars illuminated almost every corner of the compound.
"How are we even supposed to get into this place?"
Gena quietly whispered.
She carefully observed the main entrance from the thick branch where everyone remained hidden.
