The spiral pit part 2

Mark moved through the base silently. She tried to not let the atmosphere get to him and it was far easier in his current mental condition than he had expected it to be. Not to mention, the whole space seemed empty of life.

He was not even sure if anyone was in the base at all till he reached the labs. The place was tense too but it had a lot of moments also. The scientists were wary of Suzy, shooting her sharp and warning glances but otherwise seemed content to keep their distance from her.

It felt like yesterday when they had talked with Liam before but here they were once again, the communication array powered in between them.
