The Black Hills, once called the Black Forest, was home to a large and abandoned Quarry that was initially started for Granite mining, but was eventually expanded for other resources, such as iron and copper, once they started to run low.
The reason for the name change was simple. There was no forest anymore. It had all been chopped down decades ago. The only hint of its former life was a small, privately owned nature spa, although you had to pass a certain net-worth threshold to be allowed entry.
Fortunately, or unfortunately, depending on how you looked at it, it was the Quarry that they were interested in and not the spa.
Flying his 'winged pod' Ren guided the party over the hills, his eyes scanning them intently, before they landed a few kilometres from the quarry itself. One by one they disembarked the Brick, and checked their gear.
