The whole thing reminded him of the Festival at Prehevil, just with no gods or their servants taunting him in dreams. He's not really sure what that means, since as far as he knew only a god could do something at this scale. Or...what was it Karin was trying to say happened in Prehevil? Gas and radiation or something. Their doctor had disagreed, but things were different here. Maybe he could ask one of the doctors.

Whatever it was it made him uneasy, so he moves his rifle to his hands. He knew he had to conserve ammo, that had become a familiar feeling during the Festival, but it made him feel a bit better. And maybe if they found people instead of monsters they could use it to intimidate them. Maybe.
