The reinforced mercenaries now pushed on the pair of sangheili. 'Demunth hastily proceeds up the ladder and disappears from view.

UFM climbed up as fast as he could. Despite this, even his heavy shields quickly went down from the focused fire and he took several rounds to the back before making it. As he crawls in, he hears the mercenaries climbing after him, but 'Demunth closes the hatch. To ensure their safety, UFM shoots the rim with his plasma pistol to weld it shut.

"ARGH. That hurts a lot."

He checks the health indicator on his hud and notices that there are four bars of health remaining. Blood drips from his mandibles and his chestpiece as he staggers up.

The maintanence tunnel was very small and compact. It didn't even have enough room for an average sangheili to stand upright. The dim lighting was also dark orange and red, with thermal service lights. 'Ratam, the first to have gone through, had led some of the troops further into the tunnel.

'Ratam over comms "Field Marshall, these service shafts are maze-like, not to mention tight as a mgalekgolo's hive."

"I hear you, Zealot. We'll follow your IFF marker."

As they hear banging on the hatch behind them, the forces hurry through the metallic tunnels.
