The advance through the woods is uneventful. As you get closer to the base, you can start to make out some additional details. Feel free to include these in your Narrations:
-An engineering officer and some civilian architects.
You don't see any of these. It's possible they are indoors, perhaps directing the earth movers, or perhaps they aren't there.
-An Ares Technician and Installation team.
Same as above. If they're there, they aren't outside in a blizzard in the middle of the night.
-Two major automated earth movers, setting base for the long term living and control buildings. There also appears to be a multitude of construction vehicles not currently in use at this time of night: cement mixers, bulldozers, scrapers, steamrollers, front loaders, excavators, cranes, and so on.
You can easily make out all of these. The earth movers are active, but not the rest of the vehicles.
-"About a platoon".
Again, nobody is outside. If you want sit in the blizzard and chill out (hurr, hurr) you might eventually see someone come out on patrol, but right now it appears that they're all inside in their warm, warm beds.
-Magic stuff, "watchers for certain, possible Class III paranormal animals".
There are a handful of watchers mindlessly on patrol. There are no paranormal animals visible at the moment, but they could also be inside, snuggled up under blankets. The earth spirits are very large (Great Spirits) and it's uncertain if they'll turn hostile in the event of a security breach or if they'll just keep working.
-On call network defense and support relationship with the blah blah blah.
Naturally, none of this is visible, but the short version is "expect deckers and magicians and spirits once it's obvious that something is amiss."
-Looked like a couple air and artillery defense vehicles were slated, but hadn't arrived yet.
You don't see any ground-to-air defenses. You do see a couple Ares Dragon helicopters. One looks like it's for cargo, the other is a hybrid gunship/troop transport. Presumably there is a garage with drones somewhere. There aren't any flying drones out at the moment, perhaps due to the difficulty of flying in a blizzard. You do see two GM-Nissan Dobermans making the rounds (separately).
-Basic chain link fence. Strongpoint Automated Engagement Systems (aka, turrets) covering it.
This is half correct. You see the turrets but the fence is more than just chain link. In addition to motion sensors (which are probably turned off during the storm to save the security detail the hassle of resetting dozens of false positive readings), it is also electrified (however this is probably turned off too to avoid the possibility of lightning strikes). Oh, and there's monowire running across the top. If you cut through the fence instead of going over it, you can bypass the monowire.
