The team surged forward. The tanks picked up the pace, their shields scraping against the walls in the narrow passage. Behind them, the group moved as one, weapons ready, spells half-formed in waiting hands.
The passage widened as they reached the junction. Moon recognized it immediately. The layout was burned into his memory from his first visit. Straight ahead lay the main chamber, the large open space where the controlled Evolvers had sat against the walls with their hollow eyes and empty faces.
Moon could hear them now. Movement from the chamber ahead. The scrape of boots on stone. Muffled commands being issued in urgent tones.
Whatever was waiting for them was right around the corner.
"Shields up." Moon said quietly.
They rounded the corner and the chamber opened up before them.
