When I had lived back on Earth one of the things I liked to spend my ti in the evening doing was watching people exploring abandoned buildings. There was sothing strangely eerie about people walking through places that used to be filled with people and then suddenly wasn't.
Now that I was walking through an abandoned building myself, I felt quite a bit differently.
It was like I had been transported from my fun and powerful Sci-Fi adventure into the middle of a horror movie directed by Ridley Scott himself. The only difference was, we didn't have any movent sensors to tell us if we were in danger of sothing creeping up on us.
The chances of that were likely, too.
When we got into the interior of the warehouse we were t with the imdiate stench of iron.
The floor was slick with blood, viscera and fragnts of bones. Body parts, torn apart and savaged with teeth marks, littered the walkways. As we had walked through it all I'd felt bile rise up my throat, and I'd only just about managed to keep it down. None of us said a word to one another, we all knew what that ant.
Soone No Sothing had been here before us, and for all we knew they could still be down there
If there was soone, or sothing, still lurking underneath the warehouse complex then we had it on good authority that it would probably be yet another Null Space Invader. Neither Yr'Arl nor Fal could detect any other manna signatures.
From below the warehouse the automated clanking of boxes being moved about sounded distant and warped, like the steady thumping of footsteps drawing ever closer. The lighting strips above us flickered ominously as if they were ready and waiting to give out at any mont.
"Okay, Rin," I said as we walked through the winding corridors of the base. "I'm going to need you to direct us to the main office. The place wherever the head of the Clan here would have done most of his business. Maybe there'll be sothing there that will help us track down their headquarters or another base that might have sothing more usable in it."
Rin gave a shaky nod and started walking. I made sure to position myself slightly in front of her, if sothing were to co barrelling down the corridor toward us I'd want to keep the girl safe and out of harm's way.
Our footsteps echoed in the tal corridor, each one echoing throughout the rest of the structure, not quite loud enough to block out the steady dripping of the blood from the warehouse above.
