Antonio could only wish it was a slug overpopulation... But he wasn't so sure that was the case. The smell in the cave was pretty bad and it was really getting to him the farther down they went. It was something like rotting eggs or meat left out in the sun to spoil. He wanted to cover his nose, but he was holding both his gun and a flashlight right now and he wasn't too keen on setting either down.

There were ominous noises ahead of them, and like Chauncey, Antontio chose to conceal the flashlight's beam. He heard Chauncey mention that there was something up ahead. Moving closer to the wall of the tunnel, he heard a kind of squelching noise ahead of them, coupled with clicking and chattering.It was almost as though something sticky was slithering through the tunnels. Ducking down and crouching to peek out around the corner, Antonio swore he saw something that looked like a giant slug type thing in the darkness. Granted from what he could have made out, it looked like it was wearing some type of protective gear. Another followed behind it, echoing the clicks after the other one finished. He didn't know was going on here and he wished he hadn't seen those. .. But maybe it was an overpopulation of slugs... Just not the kind they had probably all preferred to see.

At any rate, they had gone by and they had their chance to keep going. Of course, Antonio chose to take the third tunnel that nothing had come out of. While walking, a side of the tunnel was closed off by stalagmites and stalactites, but there were holes one could look through. Below in a large cavern, there were huge tunnels all around that had been burrowed out. The largest hole that had been hallowed out looked to be a pit of slime but there was a massive bug thing in there with these strange eggs all around it. He wasn't sure what to call it, but it wasn't really a slug he suppose. It made these deep resonating chirps and bellows that the entire colony down there probably understood. The creatures were all milling around doing their part and they all seemed to be built for specific jobs. Oddly enough, the place had quite a bit of technology, but it appeared to be foreign technology, something that wasn't terrestrial at least.... He had a feeling this was some kind of hive. "We need to find that lady and get the hell outta here already.." One of the other experienced cops mumbled this as he turned away from the scene, shaking his head. "This place is fucked."

Antonio could agree with that. "Look, down there!" Tyson whispered as he pointed down at the cavern below. Following his finger, sure enough, Antonio spotted one of the creatures that actually had legs carrying a woman. She was being taken to a tunnel to the right of where they were. She seemed to be just barely conscious, but she wasn't moving. She at least didn't look to be hurt, but considering the fact that they were way up here and couldn't really make out the fine details, she could very well be hurt. "But how the hell are we gonna get to that tunnel anyway I wonder?..." Tyson frowned as he pondered this. They would have to sneak through there if this tunnel led down into that cavern, but hopefully it didn't..
