That'll do it.

The last beast simply evaporates in a shower of gore, it sprays the ceiling, walls and floor with a mixture of small chunks and bits of gristle. Jon and Alvrin are spared the mess as it coats the tunnel in front of them like one of them gave a tin of red emulsion a good boot.

A distant ping is heard from the darkness ahead as part of the bullet strikes a spark from the rock. Then nothing but the panting from Jon and the squelching drip of beast soup falling to the floor.

Bullet time end.

You are once again faced with a choice of direction, the path that leads straight ahead or the one that drops away to one side. (turn to page 279)

Smith eyes the dripping ceiling

I wonder if any of you happen to have an umbrella about your person? Those bullets, though crude in their work, are rather...effective. Any ideas on which way to progress?

Just a random thought: am I picking up any signals other than us lot?

Other than the tight beam signal from the locator that you're following (and all the random signals given off by the rest of the group), the airwaves are currently devoid of electronic life.

Which ways that? Also Hernandez will reload both of his guns.

Both directions look to head in roughly the right direction, so either one could lead to where her signal comes from.

So any of you going to move?

Dammit Jim, I'm a doctor not a scout! Er, no - I'm waiting for the burly fighting types and Alvrin to make a move.

And im in the good doctors manbag, so I go where he goes.

I'm trying to play Jasper meek at first so he's no leader (part of the master plan). Can I take it as read that the Loa has departed and I have control back now? Since nobody else is moving though I'll edge along the high road carefully, looking back anxiously at the others.

Do we know which tunnel the mutants came out of? If so, I suggest that one.

Sounds as good a plan as any to me. I'll take point and start moving off.

Pants - Loa is dismissed at your request. Jasper is back in control of himself.

They came from the tunnel that heads straight on. You all cool with straight on? no-one fancy the path that drops down and turns away slightly?

That was the way I was sniffing, so fine by me.

See this makes me want to check out the side path now. Someone should go down there.



Alone.





In the dark.

hang on a minute, ive got drones. Drones away! We go down all the tunnels!

Jon skips off after Alvrin

Okay, so Joose has called drones,they will be arriving shortly from their docking station floating above the storm.

Straight ahead is currently Jasper, Hernandez, Smith and Ingress5.

Side tunnel is Alvrin and Jon.

Drones will (in a few minutes) go down both if you feel like waiting. (ie say so and I'll skip to the drones arriving).

I'll wait for the drones.

I'll poke ahead.
