It could be anything and as much as I do love a challenge I also like to breathe and y'know ... live."<br/>Aoura paused and took a breath.<br/>"It could as I said be anything, a virus could have killed the entire population, or it could be infested with some kind of flesh eating critters, or anything inbetween. As for lights," she said and looked at Lillian.<br/>"If it is a complete black out and there is no auxiliary power source that has started automatically we can also assume there is no breathable air, or heat for that matter.
