It wasn’t long before men in a motley assortment of camouflage and winter clothes burst out of a tunnel opposite of the crash. The men were armed with a mixed collection of assault rifles, shotguns, and hunting rifles. They surrounded the crash survivors and held them at gunpoint, but they stayed at a good distance. Derek counted twelve of them, and they were all very anxious. Fingers were on triggers and it would only take one wrong move to start a massacre. He raised his hands slowly and told the others to do the same.

“Don’t move.” One man ordered the survivors. “We need to search you.”

Derek held still, as did the others, while one man scanned them one at a time with a metal detector and a radio frequency detector. He wasn’t searching for weapons though; the scans were all around the head and neck area. He realized the man was scanning for drone or LINC chips. The Collective must have tried to insert people previously. After the man had scanned all of them, he gave the all clear.

Rora noticed that the men still didn’t relax their stances. The guns were still aimed at them and their fingers were still on the trigger. They hadn’t been disarmed, but they were definitely prisoners. This could get very interesting, very fast. Only two of the soldiers were capable of fighting and they had lost their weapons when they exited the chopper. She and Derek were armed, but there were too many gunmen for them to take them without getting seriously wounded or killed. She had a hole in her arm, but it had stopped bleeding and didn’t hurt that much.

The leader of the gunmen, notable for his dark blue parka and long beard, gestured for them to stand up. Like the other gunmen he had a scarf covering his face and no discernable rank emblems. He turned and headed back into the tunnel. The other gunmen followed herding the crash survivors along. The soldier with the broken leg was helped by the other two and Derek was carrying the unconscious pilot.

They descended into the bowels of the stadium. Dust and cobwebs covered everything and it was obvious no one ever came here. The footprints from the gunmen passing through to enter the stadium were the only signs of life. The group took a winding path and eventually ended up in what had been the steam tunnels under the stadium. They had to pass through three metal gates that the gunmen locked behind them with massive metal padlocks. Rora noticed several cameras and motion detectors. Even though they weren’t patrolling here they still maintained a watchful eye.

Finally they emerged into a large open basement. The room was dimly lit and it looked like a storage area for forgotten furniture, although she did notice that all the furniture was metal or only the metal remnants. All the wood had been stripped or used for something else. A space had been cleared in the middle, and three people stood waiting for them.
