Character
(If your character is not in Netherworld, it is unlikely they would be present.)
It was not the first time Book had overextended himself. It likely would not be the last. Hr'tal was long since abandoned. Whatever creatures once roamed this massive industrial coffin had died some time ago. What remained of them tended to rise up and do their absolute best to rend any survivors to little meaty pieces.
Not that there were any of those folk left.
Currently, Alexander Ontanas was pinned against a crumbling wall. In the streets outside, four of the beasts stalked along. Their claws flexed as the scent of meat tinged the air. Their noses rose toward the sky, sniffing to find wherever the interloper in their city - Book - had gone.
The soldier remained silent, watching them quietly through his visor.
When the portal between Netherworld and the galaxy was stabilized, the soldier remained. Partly to find something lost, a friend he so desperately missed, and partly to live beyond the burdens of politics. Here it was a daily struggle to survive. Food was a constant issue. The spores in the air required filters to breath without being contaminated, and power was difficult to maintain. Not to mention these beasts that roamed the city at all hours if the day.
"C'mon..." He whispered, gripping his DC-17m. The pack came to a halt at once, clicked something unintelligible, and sprinted down an adjacent alleyway.
Book pushed up to his feet, made sure his armor systems were up to spec, and checked the electrical map he had routed through constant exploration.
The sun was high in the sky, but darkness always awaited around the corner in this forsaken place. He would not waste what little light he had.
