Above the cold night of the Antarctic, the Yautja spacecraft cuts through the storm. The tremendous force of katabatic winds would destroy any ordinary plane, but it has no effect on the futuristic spacecraft of the Yautja. That's why they were so deadly, their technology is greater than Tony Stark's tech. The ship zoomed above the Whaling Station where Rusten and his men were using a base camp. The humans or Oomans in Yautjas didn't notice them when the spacecraft flew above the Oomans unnoticed. However, the humans and Yautjas failed to notice that Dark Twilight was leaning behind on top of the water tower and saw the spacecraft with her arms crossed while the wind blew her hair.
Then suddenly, the Yauta's spacecraft fired three shimmering steel missiles. But before they could make contact to the snowy ground, three arresting fins unfurl at the rear of the three missiles to slow down with some-kind of thruster. The three missiles made an impact to the ground and created an explosion of snow and ice, and a crate. Upon a closer look, the missiles are cylindrical like. They were twelve feet long and four feet wide, almost like a giant steel coffin. Then one of the missiles opened, releasing high pressure gas that was locked inside, it slowly opened and, on its side, had unknown words written on it.
And it reveals that these missiles were Drop Pods of the Yautja, meaning the hunt is about to start.

Even though the storm continues above, the search team tries to find the pyramid. But reaching down, it was dark, really-really dark. They can't see anything. Gem could since she has night vision and Jay could smell people. However, Lex was the first one to come down as she carefully puts Val down before she lights up a flare, creating a light to reveal what was hidden in the dark.
It revealed an ice grotto. It was very beautiful. The walls are translucent, everything was surrounded by giant stalactites and stalagmites made of frozen glacial water. Everything around them shimmers and pulses in the light of the flare. Up ahead, the grotto opens out into a bigger ice cave, a vast ceiling vaulting off above them into the darkness. No telling how big this place is.
Lex made sure that Val was close to her, keeping her safe as they walked through the grotto while the others came down. They looked around the grotto, looking for the pyramid and admiring the beauty. Val awed at the grotto, Celestia peeks under the bag and looks at the grotto with admiration. She always likes the ice and snow, she doesn't know why, but it made her feel safe. They would continue to admire it, but Lex's flare died down and everything went dark again. Lex was about to get another one, but someone opened a flare, startling Val and Celestia in the process. Lex turns to her right to reveal Weyland, holding a flare. Jay and Mike helped him get down safely as they helped the others with little or no experience. He was looking at the grotto with a mix of joy, confusion, and excitement.
"I don't understand it." Weyland said, breathless from the descent and looked around. It was completely empty when they came. They thought some other people or company found it first, but there was no one. "No equipment. No sign of another team."
"Well, that tunnel didn't dig itself." Lex stated as she picked up Val.
Stafford's men were unpacking multiple sets of portable floodlights and hooking them to power cables which run back up the tunnel to generators on the surface. The Kids were sitting on some steps of the grotto, waiting for the grown ups to finish. Lex brought Val to them, who has their flashlights on, as she helps the others out with the equipment. The kids stayed on their spot, not wanting to bother the other adults on their work with the lights. It didn't take long for them to start the power.
"We have power." Connors called out.
With that said, multiple banks of powerful floodlights kicked in, they could see clearly now and then they saw something from the glacial ice. Sebastian saw something that made him stop dead in his tracks in amazement and soon followed by the others, minus Kendall and Lex. Lex took out a flare-gun and fired. The flare illuminates to reveal what was hidden in the shadows. It was the pyramid. It towered above them and revealed hundreds of stone steps. The team felt like tiny ants standing before the mysterious pyramid. Two-thirds of the magnificent structure is fully visible, the rest is buried in the translucent walls of the ice cave. Yet, in Damien's perspective, it's an awesome sight.
