Dr. Parker takes the gun, somewhat gingerly, but she holds it in a way that tells Rachel that the woman wasn't lying about her familiarity with a weapon.<br/><br/>The three of them make their way down the tunnel that Rachel had already partially explored. As the ice began to give way to the black and red rock, Rachel began to get a bad feeling, as though she were being watched. Looking around, she suddenly saw a figure off to the side of the cavern.<br/><br/>Rachel swung her light around toward it, expecting to see the creatures. This thing was different, though. Although made from the same dark black and red, just like the rock tunnel, this one was much more human shaped. The head looked up as Rachel shined her light, and pale eyes gleamed back.<br/><br/>The form was of a woman, naked and well formed. A smile creased the obsidian face, white teeth gleaming. "Visitors," she said in a deep, throaty tone.
