>>6204628>Pass the message up the line about it.[can be chosen with other choices].>Next time you see it, call out to it, with your intentions."Everyone, something is watching us!"
Whatever this thing is, it seems like it can understand you, as it darts away as soon as you yell out. your convoy stops, each person passing up the message.
"Attention, Vent dweller! We Seek to traverse this area under authority of a Magos and the Overseers, and we wish no quarrel or strife with you! Let us pass, or suffer consequences!"
You here shuffling and feet hitting metal, nails, no, talons clacking against the floor, as the thing maneuvers around.
It's behind you. it's positioned so that you are the only one directly facing it. Vrix shines the light on it.
It's a wiry, pale thing, from what you can see. Most of it is shrouded under a cloak. It has a long, rat like tail, and thin hands. It has a rifle, but it's slung over its back. It holds up its hands, partly to cover its eyes from the light, partly to show it's not a threat. It chitters out a few words.
"Thought ... *click*... were glow-things. Can hide as Hrud or Man *krr* or Box. No harm-pain to Khorne-men, is orders. Glow-things ahead. Tried shoot them, nearly melted. worry. Follow stritch to warren, safer, more-plenty routes."
And with that it scampers off, down into one of the side vents. You think it wanted you to follow it? Maybe? you aren't sure, but it said something was up ahead. You start moving foward, as Bizz, who was unable to hear any of that, starts moving again. Not wanting to be left behind, you start moving again, following everyone. Nothing is following you anymore, at least. Probably.
After a while you stop again, and you hear whispers coming from your squad mates ahead of you, eventually reaching you, courtesy of vrix.
"Bizz says there is a grating, but she looked through and saw curtains, and no doors. She wants to know what to do."
Huh. Guess Your leadership is getting tested again.
