Into the Abyss

[Dane Summers]

Only thing Ketsu could do, was shake his head in amazement, pat Claus on the shoulder, and jump down into the hole after him.

They landed in the middle of the half destroyed security checkpoint station. From the looks of the equipment, and the bodies, a Warbot had broken through - using explosives, probably a grenade launcher - and sprayed automatic cannon fire indiscriminately until there was nothing moving. Many of the bodies had been ripped up by more ammunition then needed to kill a human being. Either the Warbot was being thorough or didnt much care either way.

Claus was already peaking past the checkpoint, into the corridor beyond, while a dull rhythmic beeping was echoing through it. Other then darkness, the corridors were lit by spinning red emergency strobes. There was a still a tang of ozone from weapons fire, and that mixing with the stench of the gore, didnt make the smell anywhere near pleasant.

"So? Who can run fast?" said Dasha, already loading fresh rounds into her launcher.

Looking around, no one wanted to be the bait. Ketsu took a deep breath, and nodded his head.

"Ill do it."
