The light helps as you make your way down the tunnel the shadow carried Dara. Raisa's attempts to speak mentally with Dara aren't all that successful. She's alive, but something is preventing your mental link from communicating. All you get is waves of pain and fear.
The depressions follow in the drag marks, well spaced. There are doors on either side of the hall, but none appear to have been opened, and the tracks continue onward. Ahead you see a sharp corner in the hall to the right. With your glowing swords you spot a human foot sticking out from around the corner. From its position, whoever it belongs to is lying face down.

"Calm down?" Raisa grips the pommel of the sword so tight her hand shakes. "Right, calm down. Do not think about the things wanting to eat us, or the fact that no one in the world knows where we are or what is happening, or that the closest thing I have to a friend in Epic was just dragged off by one of the creatures wanting to kill us! I will calm down when they are all dead or I am. Whichever comes first."
She takes a deep breath and looks appologetically to X. "Sorry." She opens her mouth to say more but when the light catches the foot she forgets whatever she was going to say and runs around the corner.

Raisa dashes around the corner without answering Kevin and finds...
...a suit of armor laying on the floor. The drag marks end with it. In fact, all traces of footprints end completely. No sign of dara and no sign of the shadows can be seen. Ahead, another long hallway, lined with doors with weak lamps doing as much to cast suspicious looking shadows as they do cast light. There are more suits of armor standing in the hall. Each of them could hold a shadow or just be a normal suit of armor or heaven forbid, be animate objects just waiting for you to pass!
Another scream, obviously Dara, comes from both the way you came and the way you are heading, then another even longer scream followed by an evil chuckle.

Michelle is impressed at the sight of the city but her eyes are always drawn towards the space elevator.
I'd love to be able to get a closer look at that, the magnetic fields must be incredible. She says to no one in particular.
Good morning to you as well, Mr. Rameirez, Michelle says walking up to him. Thank you for the welcome and we appreciate the hospitality that SAP is extending us. We will try to make this as quick and painless as possible. She tells the man giving him a big smile. We will be more than happy to answer any questions you might have.
<Diplomacy +8, trying to give a good impression>

Staring down at the suit of armor, Raisa feels the panic threatening to overwhealm her. She has never been so scared in her life before, for herself or for someone else.
Shadow Guy had been right. Even with all her strength back, it wasn't doing her or anyone else any good. Who was she kidding? She was no hero. She couldn't do this. Who knew how many hoops Jackal and his shadow creeps would make them jump through before finally getting bored with the hunt and just killing them. Only god knew what he was doing to Dara and Michael, and Raisa could do nothing to stop him.
"Screw that," She mutters to herself.
"Hey, Jackal!" She shouts, oblivious if X and Kevin have caught up to her yet and not really caring. "You hear me? I just wanted to tell you before you grow a pair and decide to kill us how much I enjoyed beating you down. It is not every day that I get to humilate the mutant that has everyone terrified to even go near him. Seeing you cringe when I swung at you, hearing you yelp and whimper every time I hit you, knowing that with every strike I was allowing Michael take back control. God, what I rush!"
She starts to walk slowly down the hall. "And to think I was pulling my punches to. I mean, I was not even trying! So, that got me thinking. How much of your uber badness was actually from Michael? I mean, you are hiding from us, from me, using your little shadow Jackal's to hunt us down one at a time. Why would the most frightening mutant on this planet be hiding from us unless you really are just a whining, crotch licking, mutt!"
