Kurt noticed Matt's momentary fascination with the auroras and he couldn't blame the man. They were part of the reason he enjoyed it out here. Sure, he could see them back at the camp but there was always some kind of light pollution unlike the Tree House which was far enough away from any sign of the Spartan camp that there wasn't much in the way of lights to distract from the view.
"Pretty spectacular, right? Onyx has an unusually strong magnetic field. It can play merry havoc with adequately shielded electronics but you can't beat the view." He said, sparing a look to the sky. Kurt would much rather talk about the auroras than whatever shady business was going down in Area 67.
"I'll be honest, I have no idea. Thirteen years ago, we lost a fire team in there and then ONI sweeps in and makes the whole area off-limits." He admitted with an unhappy look. "We never found X-Ray and ONI is about as forthcoming as you would expect."
And that had grated on him harshly, especially with the sense of failure he'd been wrangling with thanks to Alpha's failure.
