About an hour had passed and Rynn and his brother found themselves amid a chaotic, sonorous bombardment of sound.

Concentrated on a single point in the Hive’s wall, the vibration could certainly be felt, but nothing that hadn’t been felt before.

“What do you think is going on, Rynn? Should we call a Deacon for help?”

“No! What if this is just some lumbering beast gnawing on the Hive wall? Do you want to be the laughing stock of our unit? Let’s just go to the port pod door and check first.”

“Okay…”

“Come on! What’s the worst that could happen?”

As the pair headed to the nearest entry point into the Hive, the reverberating followed slowly behind. Later, the brothers would describe the feeling like a room a thousand-years wide.
