The journey to the Terminus have was neither a difficult nor long one. In years passed Erich would wander into the wilderness in an attempt to enter a secluded entrance where he could secretly join Terminus and her hive beneath Midgard's surface. But those days were long behind him.
The development of Midgard into a world with a population in the billions, and vibrant cities across its utopia like landscape was a process that took a fraction of the time it normally would have had Erich's labor force been composed of his own people.
Nowadays, Erich simple took a secret tunnel which was built beneath his desk to a hidden elevator that descended directly into the Terminus hive. Nobody but him and Tia knew of this tunnel, and by odd chance someone discovered it, there was no way to live to tell the tale.
Sorry for not posting a chapter yesterday. I became dreadfully ill... And was barely capable of writing one chapter for my other novel... I won't get into specifics, but I am on the mend right now. And should completely recover in the next few days. Thank you all for your patience, and here is a longer than usual chapter to make up for yesterday!
