With a controlled descent, Arsinoë and Kospirian managed to slide down without getting more than some mud on their hands and pants, and supported Rex in getting down despite his treads slipping on the mud. At last the three dropped the last few remaining feet into the small hallowed space, just as the whine of approaching speeders was audible from above. Down here, however, only loud sounds would cross the underground boundary of wet earth, vines, and old stone.Only a few rays of fading daylight reached down here, and even that was quite dim. However, leaving the 3 to 4 meter diameter little room was a  passage suitable for traversing in single file, and at the end of it was both daylight and signs of a light tool. Fresh footsteps in the mud, likely from Garrett followed the passage. Ancient Kabalian engravings framed the archway leading to the passage.As Garrett reached the other side of the passage, he found it opened into an open-air chamber where the ceiling had collapsed leaving the floor covered in rubble from which cordgrass and purple ginger plants grew. About to step out into the light, he heard a sound echoing down the passage of several people entering the way he'd accidentally slipped down. A few heartbeats of silence, and then the operational lights of a droid were visible along with a whirring sound as Rex eyed the ruined architecture, coming towards Garrett.</blockquote>
