Chapter Ten
Deep down of the lowest levels of Janus IV. The creature is waiting for the right moment. In order to make a move on the humans.
Watching and waiting. Inside of of the newest tunnels only recently made with-in the past hour.
It was sensing it's pain. Having to been uprooted from it's original home. Deep inside the rocks for many thousands of years.
Even though. This creature is supposed to be the last of its kind. Throughout the entire colony. But it's not true at all. In order to alleviate its enemy. We already know that the Horta on the upper levels is the only creature being the last of its kind.
But for now. It watches for the right moment.
Judith was trying not to be melodramatic for when it came to the others. However for now. Everyone with her. Just had to be careful with their movements. Wearing the isolation suits with the air hard to breath without them.
She told everyone to move off for now. They all had their orders. In order to fill the requests of those requesting the energy resources.
It was extraordinary quiet. Having everyone on edge for the moment. Including Judith for the most part.
She told the others to head into three different directions. While she'd one other of the younger workers to stay behind her.
Walking away to another section. While she huffed her orders to the younger man. Even though he would be grumbling with each and every step he was taking inside of the tunnel.
Stopping for a moment to gather their bearings. "Miles. This is where we will dig for the energy materials for our customers. Just make sure to keep a close watch for now." She says.
"Yes, of course." Even though Miles mostly was protesting with extreme trepidation.
While Judith just shook her head.
The both of them went to work for now.
While in another section of the tunnels.
The creature was watching and waiting for the right moment to begin its attack once more.
