Odin swims over as the rush of sewage dies down and he growls.

" those fucking ambushes knew we were coming.... Hopefully they think we're dead."

skarn lets his visit open as surveys the sewers.

" these are unmanned.... No ones been here for a long time.."

He looks around and stops dead.

" Horus... Where's horus?"

"Don't bet on it." Thessa bit her lower lips in thought, looking up at Skarn as he called out for their commander. "The flow mostly likely carried him to a different part of the tunnels. Lets split up for now, we can cover more pipes that way. We'll each take a direction but don't go more than half a mile." She knew her next words would be met with some opposition.

"We should also turn off our suit, nothing but the basic functions. We have no idea how they're tracking us and these suits leave an electronic signal. We can get by with old fashioned tunnel marking so as not to get lost. After the half mile whether you find him or not, head west. It's much farther than the ranger outpost but I know of a place we can recover, about 50 or 60 miles from here."

"are you insane? This sludge has been here for years undistiurbned. YOu turn off your suit and youll die in minutes."

 

Odin growls and forces himself up out of a pile of sludge.

 

"CHeck your hud and youll find the commander Sargaent."

"And are you daft to think they are tracking us? They have followed our every move and we nearly became ash back there. If we can't figure out how they are keeping tabs on us then we have to split up. Horus can take care of himself as can we all. As I recall we have rendezvous points for situations like this." Thessa stared him down. She was becoming very convinced that if they stayed together they would end up dead.

"THe horrifically wounded commander is in a envorment where his comprimised suit can get him killed and you want to rendevous with him."

 

Skarn chuckles.

 

"you go ahead than, im not leaving him to die here."

[Lafayra Rue]

Thessa bit her lip behind her mask. She was the most proficient in field medicine now that most of their squad had been decimated and she realized her husband would need attention, but Odin could patch him up as well. Someone wanted them dead and it would make their job harder if they weren't together.

She didn't want to kill him again.

In the middle of the conversation, not too far off ina drainiage you see something large break the surface and a harsh static fills your comm.

 

The commander hauls himself onto the walkway and pants, his suit blaring red sirens in warning as his suit vitals flash over your hud.

 

Various ruptures, contamination of his air supply, and possible infection in his wounds run across your eyes in blaring text as the commander grunts.

 

"THanks guys.....Im fine.....Assholes.."
