Ozu's Legacy

[Ryummel]

The last blast door squeaked heavily as it opened slowly. Akechi shuddered at the thought of whatever could be waiting for them right behind the door, yet recovering his neutral temper immediately after noticing the darkness spawning at the end of the corridor they were in. He gave a swift nod to the Overwatch before he began walking firmly into the facility, followed by the Order marines.

There were no noticeable light sources at both directions of the curved corridor and silence wasn't complete at all, some sort of distant working engine sound came from behind the metallic walls. Chem lights were placed on the floor every twenty meters as the group advanced, never stepping deeper in the facility but staying inside the same corridor which encircled the irradiated tube where the module was built. Flashlights pointed at every inch of the space they marched in, looking for anything or anyone that would endanger them.

"You may be wondering why it was chosen to build the module in this level and not above or below, Overwatch."

Akechi whispered calmly, standing still in front of a blast door which didn't look very different from the few others they ignored. He tapped the console briefly, stared at the door, then turned at the Overwatch.

"However, this metal bulk won't allow me to show you the answer."
