Chapter 1: Past Present and Future

As she's eating Evelynn takes another stim and injects herself, feeling the rush of pain killers and other medicine as well as the odd sensation of the bacta helping to rapidly stitch together her wounds, on the surface at least. Enough to let her carry on. Pulling out her crystal she reaches her feelings towards it before turning to face Alyx and Ian and shakes her head speaking up as she slips the crystal back into the secure pouch, "I can sense no evil, no malevolence coming from it. Just comforting warmth and a sense of belonging. Perhaps our retrieval of them helps to purge whatever dark energies may have gathered around this area from it."

Once everyone is finished eating, she leads the way down into the new passage, glancing around the new room as her siblings file into it. She spins rapidly when the doors slam closed behind them and the water begins pumping into the room. Reaching down to her belt she grabs her rebreather and pulls it out, saying, "Quickly, everyone who has a breather, put it on. Those who don't, stay close to someone who does and pass them back and forth as needed. I think we need to make our way across the room, let's move."

True to her words, she slips the breather into her mouth and reaches out for the closest of her siblings who doesn't appear to have one, holding tight to their arm as she begins moving through the room.

Evelynn, already negotiating her way through the maze of walls, jumps in shock as Ian blasts the wall nearby. Turning back to the others she pulls the breather from her mouth at their shocked expressions and says, "What the hell was that about, Ian? It's a wall, I don't think shooting it will help... Wait, can you guys not see... Oh. Sorry, should have said something, I didn't realize you guys couldn't see them. Yeah, it's like a maze in here. Walls, floor to ceiling. Like I said, if you don't have a breather, pair up with someone who does. Do shared breathing, take a few breaths, hold your breath, then pass it to your partner. The air supplies won't last long, but I have a feeling we have to get to that glow. Come on, let's move."

Taking the cord from Zeph, she slips it through a loop on her utility belt and continues to lead the way through the winding maze, doing her best to feel the right path.
