He wandered over the the tunnel, inspecting it's structural integrity. The tunnel seems perfectly fine and structurally sound. You do hear, however, a faint growling from far up the tunnel. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote I'd initially been thinking Nick couldn't hear it, but I'm bored now and decided he can. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there was something in there to fight, might as well get it over with. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll turn on your combat program.” Nick stands next to Aki, with no visible weapons. A biofabric hood springs up and wraps back around his head. His artificial wings are collapsed around his back, the struts folded in half, and he stands in a decent fighting stance.

AltonicKeys he/him Posted August 26 Report Share Posted August 26 Quote aw man arrakis would have been perfect for me lol Larry stirs from a sleep that felt like 4 weeks long, and sits up. He notices the three in front of him. Aki and Kaleb he knows, but the one in a more advanced suit was new. His arm display showed an AI trying to connect, which was confusing. More confusing was the sand in the cracks of his armor, the suddenly dark stone surroundings, and the red eyes. "Hey, what's the situation?" He says to the others, maybe a little too loudly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The gist is that I think that thing lives here, and wants us gone. I personally would be fine with being gone, but I don’t think the whatever-it-is would just let us walk away.” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
