 Once a bustling hub or productivity human and robot workers alike scurried to keep the foundries, ore processing plants, metal fabricators and other factories revolving around the precious metals of the planet going. Here the brief spark of industry from the veins that ran dry is most evident. The other industries such as chemical processing from the various botanical life of the planet were secondary but it never had a chance to replace the dwindling metal market, the spore took care of that. Now the buildings are mostly abandon and run down after over a year and a half of disrepair. They are bone yards for the scavengers to pick through and sadly nothing more...

Daniel "Danny" Colchester Danny smirked as he caught his rifle and returned it to his shoulder. "Well, I'm not familiar with these parts. Machinery was always shipped out to us, and whenever somethin' broke down we fixed it ourselves." He scratched his head with his thumb before looking back to Isolde. "So I guess when I say 'ladies first' it just ain't out of the kindness of my heart there Izzy."

 Isolde Callaway Isolde rolled her eyes and unslung her dart gun from her shoulder. "Then stay close 'farm boy'" She emphasized the slurr when she spoke to him. Why was he being so familiar they had only 'known' each other for a few hours. Yet, he spoke to her like she was his long lost buddy. This farmer was a very odd man indeed, part of the lowest class in the colony it was a miracle he survived at all. But, to not only to have survived but to have a friendly heart and kind spirit was nothing short of astounding.

Daniel "Danny" Colchester"The name's Daniel Colchester, 'tho people just call me 'Danny.' I'd take off my hat 'cept I ain't got none obviously." He gave a simple smile, then continued. "So I'm figurin' you were gonna play it safe and move along the roof tops and such. Best we keep low then, don't wanna be silhoutted against the sky from anyone on the ground. We'd be in a right lick o' trouble then missy."

Isolde Callaway Isolde leered at him "I may not be a big strong man like you , but I know these things. We will go down that back alley and drop into a service tunnel. It was an old evac route from city center so if we follow it we will pop up right in the heart of the building that served as a congress house." She said as she reached into one of the pickets on her belt and produced a map. "It is a schematic of the tunnel system below the colony. They are the high ways and byways and since you need codes to get in and out. They are generally pest free. So lets go." Isolde said as she gestured form him to follow her over the entrance.

Daniel "Danny" ColchesterDanny gave his head a scratch while he smirked again. "Well I'll be. You got this figured out seven ways to sunday then. Well, no point standin' here jawin', you go right on ahead and lead." Danny crouched down and began to follow Isolde doing his best to hide like he did when his dad took him hunting. He brought his rifle to the ready when he moved like this simply out of habit. Who knows, but habit for this excursion might be a good thing.

Isolde Callaway "Glad you approve, dearest. But, I try never to leave home without a reason and a plan." She said as they made their way closer to the access tunnel. "Stay close, don't go popping your head up when we get to the other end or you may get it shot off. Whatever the guns brought down will have brought every victim within ear shot and perhaps other interested parties like the SRC militia or bandits. When it comes to outsiders they treat them pretty much the same." She said as she looked at the code once more and started to punch it into the access panel.

Daniel "Danny" ColchesterDanny nodded and peeked around a bit. Partially to keep his eyes open and watching for any threats, and partially to take a look around, never having been in the city before. Everything was so... close. It felt a little odd, as if he was in one big building that just stretched on and on. He didn't want to say it, but he couldn't wait to be back out in the farmlands again.

Isolde Callaway there was a small chirp and a hiss as the door opened. "get in I had to lock the door behind us." She said and gestured for him to move quickly. Her mask would prevent any cameras from recognizing her but she had no desire to be found by the SRC's remaining military presence or any one who had hacked the system. Especially not if they had cracked any SRC personal data bases or she would be in for it.

Daniel "Danny" ColchesterDanny took his rifle in one hand and put his hand on his head as if to hold down some absent hat as he broke into a low dash to get in. As a joke, as he past Isolde, he lifted his hand as if raising his hat out of a chivalrous gesture. Once inside, he ducked beside the wall and hide the best he could, not knowing what way to go and tried his best not to look dumb and lost, and failing so.

Isolde Callaway "Once inside she closed and locked the door. "Ok, handsome here is the plan, we take this tunnel to city center see if anything survived the impact, then we come straight back here. You can return to your farm if you wish and I shall return to my rabbit warren." Not waiting for confirmation she took off down the tunnel navigating by the handheld map of the system. If anyone entered without one they would be lost in the labyrinth forever most likely. Her footsteps echoed eerily off the metal floor as she progressed. She knew the other scavengers who were closer would have gotten there first but she still wanted a look perhaps she could find something worth while..,at the very least she might be able to find out who they were.

Daniel "Danny" ColchesterDanny nodded and tried his best not to ask questions and revert to his chatty self, especially since it had been awhile before he saw a face that did not try to kill him on sight. He held his rifle in both his hands and scanned carefully as he moved, making sure not to fall too far behind his most gracious guide.

Isolde Callaway "ok this should be the right hatch." She said after double checking her schematic. Isolde typed in the code and opened the hatch. She carefully peered out. Then she let out a happy little squeak. She could actually see the wreck from here...there was a good sized skid and a crater. She prayed something would be left.... *exit to city center*

It had been two weeks since that shuttle was shot down by the orbital guns, infected were as dangerous as ever and the survivors still were huddled in small groups. But, something had changed the SRC scientist in charge f weapons labs had revolted and was gathering all the survivors he cold. 'Strength in numbers' as they say. He ha used what was left of the colony's old PA system to ask everyone to come to the secondary spaceport. "If we all work together it will be simpler and we will stand a better chance of survival." If you hear this message try to get to the spaceport, if you are willing to work you will find safety if you want trouble you will find there are more dangerous things than the planet's indigenous life or the infected.
