"A pistol?" Dr. Parker asks distractedly, her eyes trained on the ground below. "Uh, yes. Yes, actually, I am quite good with a firearm."<br/><br/>Lewis was also looking below, as though she expected the ice to erupt at any moment with the gruesome creatures. She spared a grin at Rachel, however, to answer her question. "What do I do?" she said. She held forward her right arm and three long blades suddenly erupted above her wrist, shredding through the sleeve of her coat. The weapons gleamed in the pale cavern light. "Anything I want," she said.<br/><br/>Ever so slowly, the cables descended all the way to the ground. As the three of them set foot, another wail could be heard, floating through the cavern. The source sounded distant, but it was hard to tell from the echo effect. The cry was hollow and eerie.
