She wasn't an expert on the Veldt, but she was fairly sure it was supposed to be a vast grassland not... this rocky terrain they were stepping out on.

She knew for sure there was no building like that on the Veldt... or anywhere else in the world. She's never seen a structure so tall, it made the Emperor's palace look like a toy house in comparison.
When she spoke up again, most of the confident general was gone, and her voice was a mix of awe, and concern.]
