There's more of the mantids and a couple of the humanoids. I follow in the wake and let the ash be pushed aside by my environmental shield, then burn through the final wall into the next room. The cables twist, expanding and burning the insectoids apart as they swarm me. I generate a construct cable and then another dozen after it, threading them through and splitting the cable off at each one into the next, and the next, and the next. Whatever this crystal is, it's spreading filaments through them like. If I don't have scans of living, baseline members of their species I can't restore their brains but even if I did there's so much of them being autopiloted now that they're basically a husk. Large sections of their brains have been consumed and replaced by silicon matrices.
and back out into the main thoroughfare. Subjects are being compromised by a silicon based filament system spread throughout their body. I pull backwards as they spill out of the room into the hole I've made. Which probably explains why they're all focusing on me and clambering to reach me and why the walls of this chamber have so many scratch marks on them. When I burst through into the corridor I'm confronted by more of the mantids but they're covered in some kind of crystal which is glowing faintly with a yellowish-green light. I snap forward out over the water and have the ring navigate my way to the first one, deciding I can fix any damage later and opting for forming a sphere around myself, shrinking it down and using it to disintegrate my way through the walls towards my target. Time to see what's going on here, I think. My eyes flare blue as the ring shows me the wisps of hopes in the area overlaying the brightened ones of still-living people. Not seeing any movement right now though. None of them have any hair anywhere.Ī combination of blunt force trauma, acid damage and consumption.

Looks like some kind of civilized mantid-spider combination of several various types but there's humanoids with black skin as well. There's debris and crap strewn along the bridges and ledges serving as the 'roads'. The buildings are intact but I can clearly see things are a mess. It doesn't look to be in good shape, though.
I've come upon an underground lake with a city built into the walls around it. From what I can tell it's half a kilometer wide and the bottom of it is mostly filled with water. The cavern I'm standing in is large enough I can actually scan its internal dimensions. The ring mapping my path as I go along is the only thing keeping me from getting lost and the enhancement to my low light vision is helping, but if it came down to it I'm sure the ring would come up with something to replace my eyes. It turns out the 'large building' is actually the side-gate to what seemed like an endless maze of corridors until I came out into a massive open space. I suppose it was a bit much to ask, really.
