His fingers found the SuitPac device on his belt and he pinched the two small indentations on its sides. Within seconds, his battle suit expanded out, covering his body. He wanted to make full use of any information his HUD could provide. He quickly found that various readouts and indicators were all over the place—as if he’d entered some kind of Bermuda Triangle, where nothing made much sense. Jason’s primary interest focused on the bottom section of his HUD where life-icons, if they should appear, would reveal the proximity of anyone relatively close. Although he thought he saw two icons flash on when he first initialized his suit, it was only momentary, and now nothing was showing. He adjusted the HUD’s sensitivity for any life readings out to a distance of ten miles, but nothing showed … not even small, indigenous creatures. Light drizzle had turned to rain and then, suddenly, to a full-blown torrent, coming down in buckets and making visibility difficult. In the distance, Jason could see what looked like ancient ruins so he headed in their direction.
