Mystery Assignment 1

Note: I just can’t get the picture to be in the right orientation no matter what I try, I apologize.

In the not-so-distant future humanity has begun establishing lunar bases to study long term exposure to life in space. All lunar activity must be heavily monitored to maintain life in each of the bases. Moonquakes, underground tremors, have become common occurrence, but many living in the bases no they are nothing to be worried about. As per safety precautions, after a particularly violent moonquake, Patrolman 3-C57 is sent to investigate the surface above the source location. He hops in his Coralis-4 Lunar Rover and covers the 8 miles to the source location. As he approaches the end of his journey a mountain looms where one was has never been before. Curious, and despite the commands of his superior officer being barked at him over the comm system, 3-C57 steps out of his rover and moves towards the mountain. Getting closer and closer he stumbles upon cave. Suddenly a feeling of absolute doom and fear washes over him. Every fiber of his being is screaming at him to run as fast as he can away from this place; but something is stopping him. Curiosity? Stupidity? Whatever it is he has no time to ponder as he is suddenly swept off his feet and dragged into the darkness below.
