"What is it?" Seraph whispered, her hand resting on her sidearm. "What do you see?"
Jonah struggled to speak. "It's the lab," he finally said. His strained voice echoing in the tunnel. "We found it."
"Do you sight any threats?" Draven rumbled, his greatsword buzzing softly in his grip.
"No," Jonah said "No one's here. Just… the aftermath."
He gave the signal and the team moved as one, stepping out of the tunnel and into the laboratory.
