Chapter 8 - Spelunking
I don’t like caves. Dark, damp and always creepy. Foreas has a lot of caves. My dislike was reaffirmed today in Minos Caverns. As if a single threat was not bad enough Minos Caverns hold some of the most harsh security on the planet that I’ve encountered. The Warnets are inside all over and they don’t take kindly to being disturbed. They were probably the least of our worries. The Bane have also set themselves up in the caverns and I’m not sure of exactly what they were doing.
It’s obvious that the answer can’t be anything good though, so going in and flushing them out was our objective today. They said I probably didn’t want to go in alone, and, after having been in there, I agree with them. It is not a place you venture into lightly. I had only encountered a few Kael up to this point but whatever they were hiding in the caverns they really didn’t want out. It is not all that big of a space but there were at least a dozen Kael in the area. Probably more.
The good news is we did manage to shut them down, at least for a little while. Whether or not they’ll regroup and continue with their work is hard to say but we do what we can each day to stop them.
It was not all trouble in the cave though, deep inside near the bottom of a large crevice and far in the back there was a Logos shrine. Each one I encounter teaches so much even if I don’t understand it. I know, it sounds like a contradiction but it isn’t easily explained any other way. I’m supposed to be heading out of the Divide soon, they are telling me I’m wanted for some work in the Palisades. I’ve heard a few stories from people in Foreas Base about the Palisades and it doesn’t sound like a very pleasant place. I guess I’ll have to wait and see on that count.
One thing is certain though if it gets much worse than Divide I’ll feel completely hopeless. We have a pretty good hold on the area but even still the Bane seem to have an unstoppable and innumerable force. Each dent we make is replaced just as quickly. I want only one thing from the Palisades; no surprises.
