Kapitel 48: Clearing the Nest

Aldrich and his undead flew into the entrance of the Variant Nest. When Aldrich and Valera hopped off the eagle and landed in the dark, subterranean entrance tunnel, he waved the eagle away.

"Wait outside. In a confined space like this, you won't do well. When I signal, come down here and pick us up," said Aldrich.

The eagle bobbed its head in a nod and then flew away.

Aldrich stared ahead into the depths of the nest. The path ahead led through a dark, winding tunnel that sank deeper down into the cliff. He tapped his red scanning visor and checked any recent heat signatures.

Nothing. The whole place was cool, almost cold. A good respite from the hot sun above. A natural place for Variants to gather and live.
