ENTRANCE
 
Our initial plan was to make sure the closed confines ahead did not host any
kind of unknown life forms, since Swarm infested vessels were common in these
regions. As my men strode through these sand-filled hallways, each step echoing
through the halls, I realised nothing any of us had ever seen before could compare
to this magnificent sight.
 
Upon entering through one of the larger entrances, the first couple of paces
led my squad into some kind of passageway filled with ancient carvings and
strange writings all over the walls and floors.
 
The expedition consisted of two squads, each led by a field sergeant; the finest
of the finest under my command. The satellite link was exceptionally clean that day,
and I ordered the two squads to explore the halls deeper, because I thought there
was some strange, barely audible sound in the audio. It almost sounded like static
forming into a word, repeating itself over and over again with a voice that sent
chills down my spine:

" ... die ... die ... die ... "
