Use: Flashlight => Examine: Front of the drill, & Where the drill was going
Swallowing his irritation, Wade got to work, flashlight in hand.

Turning his attention to the most interesting thing in the room, the drill, Wade began a thorough examination. After he overcame the looming fear that the machine might suddenly come alive--its gears meshing together and pulling in a curious limb... then his body... ending in--overcoming the looming fear, Wade gently looked over the gears.
The material seemed to be a type of alloy similar to the Kettles, though Wade couldn't know for sure. Perhaps he was just trying to incriminate the Octarians.
Focus... focus...
The gears had spiked attachments, designed to tear apart the earth around and leave only a trail of dust in its path. These tools seemed... fine-crafted with something that didn't wear or tear. Did the Octarians really have something this strong on hand...? Further, while this machine could travel through the earth, someone had to come away with the earth it upended.
Judging from the fact that there was a tunnel one way and the other, whoever had started this task was likely already done.

Speaking of the task at hand... what was this tunnel all about? Where was this drill going? Compared to the tunnel the drill came from, the walls where the drill was headed were rougher, more... unfinished, for lack of a better word.
It definitely had the signs of civilization coming and hauling away dirt, implied by the fact that the floor's dirt seemed more pressed together, as if walked over many times.
But why was the drill running down the tunnel? Wade guessed that there were two possibilities. It was cleaning out the tunnel as another round, which implied that this has been going on for some time. The other possibility was that this drill was headed somewhere and it was just faster to transport it by running it.
Either way, that didn't say anything about what the drill was for, but it did leave Wade with the question: what is this doing here? How is this related to Deepview... or the Octarians for that matter?

Jax, already rapt in his own exploration, was a little further away from Max. Wade took a moment to explain the situation to him, taking occasional glances to Max, who was busy with his own exploration.
