Alice heard as King, Ilshar and Kleo spoke about the spike and the strange interference it seemed to be generating. Closer investigation by Echo quickly confirmed both Ilshar and Kleo's theories. Whatever it was, it was watching them... Something that Alice herself already considered to be terrible news. Echo's hypothesis that the equipment was consistent with the quality of pirate-made tech made the news even worse.

"Whatever it is... It already knows about us..."[/color] Alice said with a frustrated sigh, looking at the spike.

[color=8882be]"Whatever is behind the spike likely isn't the only thing inside the Sargasso station. It already knows about our presence, but the remaining parties, whether different pirates or possible ethereal creatures might still be unaware..."[/color] she continued, looking towards the group, her gaze stopping for a moment as she looked towards Salvator.

[color=8882be]"Heavy fire support is an option to be consi..."[/color] Alice began saying, just before she was interrupted by a rumble coming from underneath them, deep within the steel entrails of the decaying Sargasso station. 

The warning about multiple underground tunnels within the Sargasso station having collapsed underneath them due to kinetic impacts hinted at something big. Before any more considerations could be made though, Alice and the group felt it again. This time it was different though... More localized... [i]closer[/i]... A strange pulsing vibration, almost as if something was drilling it's way through the decaying station, coming straight up... 

Urgently looking around for escape routes, Alice did notice the weird movements made by the drone. Looking towards the direction the drone was pointing, Alice was only barely able to notice the faint purple flicker coming from the side of one of the trailers, along with a cloud of dust being kicked up almost as something vanished behind them.

Sending a single ethereal pulse towards the trailer, being careful to not let out too much of an ethereal signature to alert other possible creatures, Alice quickly scanned their surroundings, searching for any indication of what exactly was that she saw behind the trailers. Decisions would have to be made quickly: What exactly it was? Was it safe? Could it show a possible escape route to them?

[color=8882be]"Scouting the area with an Etheric pulse. There was something behind the trailers. We need to secure an escape route NOW. Fighting whatever it is that is burrowing itself inside the Sargasso Station is not an option without heavy fire support."[/color] Alice said, concentrating herself on the etheric pulse she sent.
