A long and strenuous walkabout inclined and played on as the small group continued through the rancid bios of Tali. Raida, for one, was beginning to believe that she would never make it out of the sub-region. She thought briefly, desperately for the confines of her beloved Sak’jo; she yearned for the solitude of her bed chamber-anywhere else would have been a vast improvement to this dreadful predicament.

Raida’s wondering sight caught brief glimpses of eerie shadows cast along the walling of the tunnel, she then found the broad form of the Hunter, he was walking slowly in front of her-guiding the way. Underneath the expressionless form of the mask, he found himself concentrating on his home world, Coria, probing thoughts uncovered visions of an unsorted variety, coupled with an unusual feeling of apprehension that began to deluge his senses. He suspected the situation on his home planet had worsened. Surely by now the Delevado had complete control of the skies above Coria, he felt in that instant a spiteful rage swell within. Adrift towards him, in a deranged rush, he perceived wild images of the skies of Coria, teeming with Delevado metoids; ghosts of wicked candescence, herding shadow as they glided fluidly in cloud sea, promoting fear with their unknown intentions.

Self automated, a built-in metoid was the appointed guardian, it emerged from the upper door sill as some bloodcurdling arachnid, with massive frontal appendages and a bright red optic censor.

“This is a maximum security area - you are not permitted to be here.” It informed. “Depart at once or you will be terminated with extreme force!” The automatized life form commanded in a tone of servo spurts. Raida spoke urgently, desperate to put the sewers behind her. “We need to access the surface.”

“You can’t reason with it.” The Hunter stated dryly as he removed the Belsine mask. “You must have an authorized clearance code to access this sublevel.

Do you have such a code?” The metoid questioned, its voice echoed through the area. “No…” Raida confessed.
