M. Asphodel: I went up the ladders and hatches with the master key. My stomach felt uneasy the entire time, yet I needed to go. I needed to uphold my status among the group as the one who would hold up my father's ideals. I dared not look down, and at times my crossbow felt as though it weighed more than it should. I rested, holding one hand on the bar, ate, and then continued. According to Georges, the lookout route was obstructed by a magma crystal near sector five, the area where there was only one way out in order to get back to the main route: Hatch 11. Hatch 11 hasn't been used since my father's leadership. My primitive radio device hissed due to the storm, yet I continued to keep it set to the main channel in the chance that Bruce, the one with the radio, had his on. I then heard them, the clacking sounds of their sharp talons running around on metal. I turned my radio off and continued. The sweat from my palms seeped through the bandaging I had done prior to the mission, making it harder for me to grip, yet I knew the wrapping would be crucial for me when I'd reach the surface. The hatch was hot and heavy, like always. It requires five turns to the right and you basically plant your feet against the sides of the chute's walls and turn with both hands, ignoring the long drop. You simply don't let go.
M. Asphodel: Dust hit my face as I successfully opened the hatch. It was hot and the ground produced waves of heat into the red sky. The red sky is perpetual, hauntingly thick like blood, beautiful as I remembered it. The horizon gets the color from the towering mountains of glowing magma crystals. My father believed them to be the power source for the Tainted. We are unaffected, yet our devices go haywire if we get near. Alice is the only one in the group who has an innate shard.
M.Asphodel: I had to be quick and precise in my movements. I had to follow the assumed route that they most likely would have taken if Georges' reports were right. Hatch 11 would be a mile away from the hatch I came out of. Suddenly, I heard screaming: human, a girl. I went over to where I thought I heard it, yet I didn't see anything. There was rubble everywhere. I looked around and another voice echoed "Go!" It was Nathan's voice. I yelled out to them and felt my blood run cold despite the heat of the surface. The ground was rumbling. It sounded like thousands of the Tainted were on their way. Rachel was being held by Bruce, she had been injured. I let them go first down the hatch, a girl and a boy, dirty and exhausted were with Alice. I had begun my descent down the shaft, but I realized that the boy and the girl remained outside, setting up some sort of device. I yelled at them to follow us, but they worked until the device started to signal flashes of light. I closed the hatch as soon as they both climbed down, telling everyone to hold on tight against the rumbling of the Tainted's movements. The boy and girl continued moving. I waited, clenching the ladder bars, yet nothing happened.
M.Asphodel: This is Moreaux, we have obtained two new survivors. They are incredibly resourceful, yet they look as if they are only ten or twelve years old. Our medics are currently checking their vitals for any contamination. Once again, please respond.
