"I hope that all of the escape pods aren't already gone." B'eight thinks and starts to head to the right. Suddenly there is a distant explosion. A shudder is felt through the entire ship. The lighting is only slightly better in this area: a constant yellow glow is interrupted occasionally by the pulsing red, but it is enough to see a large amount of ceiling fall down about 30 feet ahead in the path to the tube system. B'eight is very glad to have taken the extra time to get boots since the going gets a bit tougher due to the large pieces of steel and hanging wires now strewn throughout the hallway.
B’eight nears an intersection. The tubes lie just ahead and the blue light indicating them can just be made out. However, to the left (which is also uphill) B’eight can hear what sounds like a person screaming or moaning in pain. It is difficult to make out the noise precisely and there is a chance it is just the sound of some damaged machinery, attempting to complete it’s primary function despite being obstructed by some new physical restriction it faces. To make matters worse the lighting in that direction has been completely destroyed, casting the way into near total darkness.
- B'eight presses on toward the escape pods
