Holy smokes, it's smoke! Someone from the team must be trying to get some attention with a signal fire. This is great, that means you're not alone. If you're lucky they might even have some supplies on them.

What's not so great is that it would seem your teammate was a bit too successful. It's too far away to tell what it is exactly but you can make out a large creature. You would have mistaken it for another hill if it weren't for the fact it is moving straight towards the smoke. Silver lining is it appear to be kinda slow.

You have to get over there asap, you can't let that indigenous lifeform gobble up your team. Best bet is to try and outpace it so you can warn however started that signal fire. If it looks like you can't make it try sending Dee Dee on up ahead.
