______________________________________

P.O.V: None.

The two german male's stepped off of the ship, and onto the rocky, dry surface of mars. They were on a mission. What mission?

To see if it was possible to have life on Mars.

Mars was a dry planet; rocky, with orange-ish red dirt.. Seemed like an unstable place to have water, honestly.

But, it was physically possible.

Thats why they were there after all; to see if that was possible.

They both sat on a rover, them silent as they rode. One, Niko Liam. He was a short one; curly dark brown hair, and soft green eyes. He was a sinple guy. The other, Schmidt Marius. He was taller then Niko. He had dark ginger hair; more on the brown side, then a pair of grey eyes.

"Where are we going?" Niko asked through his built in radio, slightly turning towarde his partner. "Herr wanted us to explore more than usual," he stated blandly.

You couldn't see their faces due to the space suits they wore, but it was clear he had a blank and serious expression.

They ended up comming to a halt, as it took a moment for the rover to stop moving due to the lack of gravity.

They both stood, in confusion.

Niko pointed, "Do you .. See that?" He asked Schmidt. He didn't know what he was seeing.

A huge, natural almost looking structure was in the distance. It could be over 50 feet tall up close.

"We should call this in–" Schmidt started, but was interrupted by Niko getting into the rover once more. "Lets go to it." He stated blandly. "What?" He sounded upset, "Bist du dumm??" He spoke in his native tounge.

"I'm just saying we should look before making assumptions of what it is!" He sounded somewhat happy, and mostly excited.

"Come on, Schmidt." He stared at him. Schmidt was thinking. He could, one, break a rule and investigate a potentially dangerous area, OR go with his partner to investigate and make a huge discovery.

Sighing, Schmidt got back on the rover, and sat next to his partner grumpily. Niko began smiling under his helmet brightly.

And for some odd reason, he slapped his hand on Schmidt's thigh, and squeezed gently, "Don't be all salty! This'll be fun!" Schmidt, was glad they wore helmets because he was red from suprise.

After what felt like hours of riding the rover towards the unknown steucture, they arrived.

Boy,  were they in for a suprise.

They hopped out of the rover, before stopping at an entrance to what seemed like a large cavern or labyrinth. Their minds were thinking of all sorts of– what ifs, and dangers.

"W.. Well? Come on than." Schmidt spoke nervously. Gulping, Niko nodded.

They both walked into what would be their demise.

They turned on a light that was attatched to their space suits.

The walls were stone- No, ore maybe?
They were scared and on edge.

As they walked, they felt warmer and warmer.

Niko came to a stop.

"Niko?–" he started, "Whats wrong..?" He asked, walking toward ths shorter astronaut.

"What is this?" He asked, placing his hand on the wall. Strange writing– Markings?

Zigzags on zigzags, circles and squares seperating each.

It was a maroon colour; the writing.

Made you wonder where it came from.

______________________________________

They were still walking, finding more and more writing. The more they walked, the more hot they felt.

It just kept getting warmer, and their suits weren't helping.

"What the hell are we doing here!?" Schmidt asked, before kicking the ore wall. Niko winced, before having a guilty expression under his helmet.

"Why did i even listen to you?! You're so annoying, Niko– God– This is bul–" he kicked the ore even harder but stopped once the wall collapsed.

Niko's and Schmidt's eyes widened.

They stared at eachother before entering the hole in the wall.

A body.

A body.

It had some sort of strange suit on, as well with a strange helmet but no flag of what country he was from on his outfit. But, its insides were– torn to shreds. The stomache of the body was ripped open, his small and large intestine hanging out. His arm was– mutilated.

There was a puddle of blood under him, but that wasn't the worst part.

He was– impaled with something.

The walls were covered with the dark liquid.

But the most disturbing thing about it was the words written on thw wall.

Four simple words.

Very simple words

"Don't look at them."
