(Erica and Marcus are a little crestfallen by your orders to retreat. They feel as if they have lost some potentially thrilling footage which might boost their audience and subscriber counts. If you keep ordering them to retreat, they may abandon you in the subterranean dark)
As you emerge into the better illuminated junction, the grinding metal wheels seem to follow you. There is a tense moment as it approaches - yet strangely, the closer it gets, the quieter it becomes.
Eventually all you see emerging is a rusted wheelchair.
Erica appears a little shaken by the creaking wheelchair noises even though she is trying to hide it -
This... it must be some sort of prank by the rioters ahead or someone else trespassing as well, and trying to scare us off. But I swear - I felt some rumbling. Could it be the dragon, the Great Wyrm, the basilisk that turns people into stone? Maybe it passed by, and dislodged this rusted wheelchair...
Marcus is grumbling:
Look we came here for abandoned derelict footage, unexplored urban ruins. Sponsors love this sort of stuff! There could be some rival channel ahead of us filmimg everything, they will edit and upload and process it before we do, and get all the views and clicks! What are we waiting around for? And we have this one superfan, this whale who donates huge amounts... his comments alone drives like 90% of our engagement, he is called CrimsonKingOfWreckage and he is always daring us to do more dangerous and adventurous stuff... we cannot disappoint our fans!
You are bending over to inspect the rusted wheelchair. It seems a little out of place, and you are unsure how wheelchair accessible the subway here actually is... there is a small blotched metal placard on the side that reads
