The group has begun their trek into the caverns.  It's a fairly wide cavern, making the journey comfortable at least in that respect.  It is, however, pretty much pitch black.  That said, as you progress, it's easy to begin to wonder if Imperius was just trying to scare you with these stories about rodent people.

After about fifteen kilometers, at which approximately three hours have passed, the cavern narrows a bit, and you think you can hear the sound of running water above the repulsor's humming.  For the entirety of your trip, the cavern has generally run a pretty straight course, with the occasional turn, dip, or incline.  Every once in a while you'd see a mark or indentation in the rock that looked off, but closer inspection never revealed evidence of any presence but your own in the dark.  It's still chilly and the air definitely feels quite moist.

Sure enough, after another hundred meters or so, you come across an underground river which cuts perpendicularly through the cavern you'd been traversing.  Looking down either direction does not reveal much but 30 meters into where the water has been and 30 meters down where it's going.  It's running pretty fast, but may be geologically recent, as it does not appear very deep.

[Private to Serina Ryo: From what you know of caves, this is a very odd occurence.  Water spilling into this cavern from another would likely have just met a wall and followed the path instead of carving a new one.  Likewise, the cavern you've been following likely had some water of its own at one point, probably dammed up somewhere on the surface.]

Basically, you're at a crossroads of sorts, with a shallow river forming the cross street.  It's not running fast enough to sweep anyone away, but it could be slippery.  The repulsorlift shouldn't have any trouble.  On the other side of the stream, the cavern continues on into the dark.

"I prefer cities.  Less darkness, less silence..." Seely comments as she looks around, "I don't see anything, but I have a feeling that's how it always is, this far down..."

Falling silent, she listens to try to hear anything over the sound of running water.  The paranoid part of her doesn't want to be surprised by the Selonians.  The diplomatic part of her wants to have her weapons down when contact is made.

Either way, she has a feeling that something's going to go wrong...

Seely Komad rolled 26 using 1d20+8. Perception.

"If what Sith Imperius said was true, you should be seeing something soon, Commander Komad."  EAS-05 responds to Seely's comments as it examines the surroundings.  The cavern had turned out to be quite boring, in its opinion, nothing but rock and more rock.  It directs its attention towards the stream, looking for an easier way for its companions to cross.

EAS-05 turns back to Seely, "Shall I cross first, Commander Komad?"

How wide is the stream?

Serina kneels down at the edge of the stream shining her flashlight down into it trying to see anything.

"I don't think this stream was created naturally, I suspect it was carved to flow here. Which might be innocent, or it might be the perfect place for a trap"

"Then stop and look.  We don't have to rush across this stream; we've covered a fair distance really quickly." Seely continues her surveying of the scene.

Noting the markings they had passed Shanda looked around the crossroads seeing if there were any more and if there was any significance to them.

OOC:
13:51, Today: Shanda Rell rolled 27 using 1d20+11. Galactic Lore.
13:50, Today: Shanda Rell rolled 16 using 1d20+11. Perception.

It's 8 or 9 meters across.  Or if you're EAS-05 and can calculate that trigonometry in less than a second, 8.39445 meters, approximately.

[Private to Shanda Rell: They don't seem to be in any sort of language, but they could be used to keep track of distance.  By what or whom is anyone's guess; could have been the Selonians or a survey team from the manor.]
[Private to Seely Komad: You think you hear something rhythmic in the way the water is moving.  After a second or two of listening to it, you think it could be someone or something walking through the water, to the group's left, upstream.  Shining your light in that direction reveals nothing, but the light does not penetrate the darkness very far.]

"Keep your weapons low...I think we have contact," Seely states, eyes to the left.

Shanda lifted her head glancing down the left passage Seely indicated, moving to stand with the others she kept herself relaxed as she waited for whatever the Commander had seen to present itself.
