Figures were all around her in the gloom.

"Captain!" Geisz yelled. As the last of the cloud dissipated, her helmet
lamp revealed the hideous features of those nearest her. With a start, she
realized she was completely surrounded byтАж them! There was no sign of
her fellow commandos!

One of the creatures lunged at her, its red orbs glaring.

Geisz crouched against the railing and fired, swinging the Dakon II in
an arc from right to left, taking out everything in her field of vision. She
saw more monstrosities coming from the hole in the wall and fired into
them, the fragmentation rifle functioning flawlessly, ripping them apart,
literally blasting their shriveled flesh from their bones.

They fell in droves.

One of them was advancing down the stairs toward her.

Geisz spun to shoot them, but the Dakon II unexpectedly went empty.

Oh, no!

Geisz frantically released the spent magazine and heard it clatter on the
stairs as she extracted a fresh magazine from her belt pouch and hurriedly
inserted it into the rifle. She slapped her left hand on the bottom of the
new clip, slamming it home, and she shot the creature in the face even as
it sprang at her.

Suddenly, she was alone.

Geisz realized the creatures were gone. She scanned the hole, then up
and down the stairwell. Bodies littered the steps, but none of them
belonged to her friends or the captain.

What the hell had happened to them?

Geisz pondered her next move. If she were smart, she'd head for the
surface and the jeep and take off for Chicago. But what if Doughboy and
Wink and Edwards were still alive? Didn't she owe it to them to try and
find them? She thoughtfully bit her lower lip. Yeah, she owed it to them.
But how was she supposed to find them? The tunnels under the city were a
virtual maze. Doughboy had carried their scanner, and without the pulse
scanner she couldn't get a fix on their belt frequencies. She frowned,
disgusted. Why the hell hadn't they issued scanners to everyone? She knew
the answer to that one. The higher-ups wanted their arms free so they
could carry more of the stuff up to the jeep.

And what about the stuff? The objective of their mission?
