They walked out of the engine room. Evaran motioned for V to fly out and then motioned for the others to cling to the wall. He walked a step or two away from them.

Dr. Snowden figured that was Evaran’s way of being able to deflect shots if any were to come. Dr. Snowden’s limping wasn’t helping things. He rubbed his wounds. Evaran had closed them, but they still hurt. Dr. Snowden’s leg was getting stronger, but each step seemed to aggravate it. He noticed that Evaran appeared more solemn. It was subtle, but the way he moved looked more aggressive. It was obvious Sanjay’s death weighed on him.

After fifteen minutes of walking without incident, they reached a large hallway entrance and entered it. On the sides were doors leading off to other areas.

Dr. Snowden was again mesmerized by the size. It looked like it could easily sustain a large amount of traffic. With the lower mist density and brighter lights, he could see quite far. The random shrieks and noises of creatures far off disturbed him, but he knew there was nothing he could do about that.

V flew back from scouting ahead and projected a map. It showed one of the smaller side doors off to the right side leading to a large room, which was highlighted. Past the large room was a series of rooms connected to each other with two red dots highlighted in one of them.

“Analysis. Two humanoid life-forms detected ahead. Ninety-three percent match on visual profile indicating mercenaries.”

Evaran ran his hand through his hair. “Looks like we have an opportunity, assuming they are Bloodbores.”

Dr. Snowden bent over and took a deep breath.

“Uncle Albert?” said Emily as she rushed over to him.

Dr. Snowden held his hand up to her. “I’m fine. Just walking with pain is all.” He glanced at her and smiled while exhaling sharply through his nose.

Emily tilted her head at him. “What?”

“Just glad you’re headstrong,” he said with a cracked voice. He straightened up, and Emily put her left arm around his shoulders.

They followed Evaran, V, and Jay to the door V had highlighted. It opened into a small hallway that ended at the entrance to another room. They walked through and into the large room. Evaran put his UIC on the door console and interacted with his ARI. A light-blue shield appeared in the hallway entrance they just came from. He held his palm up to the krall, then flipped it around. The krall walked a few steps out and shook its head. A static sound rang out as a mostly transparent arced shield appeared in front of it. It reminded Dr. Snowden of a bulldozer’s front blade but reversed.

“Everyone stay here. There are two mercenaries coming into this room from the opposite end in a few minutes. I will deal with them. The krall’s defensive shield is up. Make sure to stand behind it.”

“We can help,” said Emily.

“I can handle this. If there is trouble, the krall will react. I will also drop the door shield behind you so you can run out.
