The sewers on Taris were strikingly different from the one's he'd grown up in on Coruscant. The architecture was more intricate and the ceilings were higher. Hell, if he was being completely honest, this was one of the nicest sewers he'd been in. He glanced back over his shoulder to make sure Raz was still behind him. Dopes was pretty eager to continue the massacre and Crix appreciated his enthusiasm.
The smuggler wasn't exactly enthused to be in this situation, but if Rusty had more information on those Modified XS-100's this'd be worth it. Well for him it would. He wasn't sure why Daniel and Raz had chosen to stick around, but he wasn't made about it. He hid a small smile, It was nice to have some company on crap missions like this.
The sewer was dimly lit by service lights, and Crix lent his flashlight to their path. He'd acquired the flashlight and a few other supplies from rusty for agreeing to take on this little errand. He'd snagged a few extra power packs to replenish what he'd spent earlier and he'd also helped himself to a couple grenades, just in case things got wild. A shiver ran down his spine as he realized they were in the possum den. Crix suddenly felt eyes all around him as he proceeded down the slowly darkening corridors. Pretty soon the only light they had were the ones they'd brought.
Rusty marked the areas most likely to nest on his personav, and Crix slowed as they approached the first opening. It was eerily quiet as he passed through the archway and into the pitch black maw ahead. Aside from the normal disgusting smell of the sewer, Crix could smell something sickly sweet. It was a smell he'd only come across a hand full of times in the sewers of Coruscant's undercity, but it was one he'd never forget.
The pure white beam of his flashlight illuminated a bloated... and half eaten... corpse.
"Well, there goes my appetite...." He murmured doing anything to avoid looking at the grotesque form in front of him. He scanned the room and his flashlight came across a massive body with coarse salt and pepper hair across it's back. Crix covered his flashlight immediately, that wasn't a karking possum it was a HIVE RAT!
The smuggler swallowed hard as a tendril of fear curled it'self around his heart. With great hesitation, he removed his hand from the beam and did a quick sweep of the room. It was FULL of hive rats. This certainly explained the sudden influx of possums. The Hive Rat's had moved in on their territory. He recovered his flashlight and slowly started to back out of the room. Unfortunately, he didn't realize his boot had come unbuckled and he tripped over his own feet.
He landed with a splash dropping his flashlight in the process, the beam of light landed on the initial hive rat he'd seen when they'd first entered. Only instead of being curled up sleeping, it was glowering at them with a bloodthirsty menace.
"Oh shit."
