Chapter 7
"Moderators? What in Morgoroth are Moderators?" Maxarius panted.  "And what do they have to do with our situation?" Ronjah ignored Maxarius' remark and digs into his back pouch, pulling out 5 Doranador Standard issue ration savor bars. "You guys look like you need something to eat," he said passing the bars to the remaining marines. Maxarius took a bar and wolfed it down. It was not use arguing how Ronjah needed them more than them, Doranador were known to need more calories than the average Sekian. "Maxarius, were you able to recover our warhawk's radio?"  "No we've been too busy trying to keep ourselves alive."  Ronjah sighed as he paced back and forth across the room. "Were you able to scavenge anything off the warhawk?"
"All we were able to pick up were a few clips of ammunition, our weapons, and our lives. We lost the pilot when those things attacked us. We could go back, but I'm sure the wreck is crawling with those things."
Ronjah knew Maxarius had a point, but if they stayed here, they'd be giving themselves up for dead. "Hurricane, go and gather as many useful items we can find here. The rest of you patch yourselves up and get ready to go. We're getting out of this rathole." "Not to be a downer, Doranador, but I'm not sure you have any plans for shelter. Besides, staying here for a couple more hours seems to be a far more practical solution than wandering outside exposed," Arix responded. Ronjah ignored her logical retort and continued. "there's a sewer entrace two kilometers away from here. And I'm assuming that the wreck is only 15 meters south of it. We can pick up the radio system from the wreck, and head down into the sewers and find our way to the Usher underground command station."  "Wow," Maxarius responded,"That's not a bad idea.

"So, when do you think we'll find an exit hatch?" Ilis was hyperventillating, not because of the smell, but because she could feel the walls of the sewer closing in on her. "Don't worry Ilis, I've got this entire tunnel system mapped out.  We should be heading to the lower city district. Once we hit it, there will be a manhole above us." Jenniah and Ilis had been wandering the sewer system for almost two hours and had not yet found an exit. But Jeeniah knew they were close. She could feel another Doranador's presence and it made her heart skip a beat. Ilis immediately forgot her claustrophobia and took notice of this. "How much do you want to bet it's Ronjah?"
"It's not him, his presence would be...warmer."
"Warm enough to melt that frostbitten heart of yours?"
"We don't have time for this Ilis!"  Jenniah's shout echoed throut the tunnel. After what seemed like hours of awkward silence, they heard what sounded like tiny feet skittering. Ilis immediately drew out her sidearm and fired.
Sorry i didn't include art for this one. I'll probably update in about a week.
