What's next?

Investigate your pursuers

You climb on top of the nest of pipes running along the corridors, and travel silently on all fours toward the bipeds. You stop and wait, listening as they approach.

"Look, there's nothing here; if you really want to search the entire sewer network, we're going to need more people," said the deeper voice.

"If you're scared, go back; I'll finish the sweep here. It's probably nothing, but come on, that door was mighty suspicious," answered the higher voice.

You edge toward them in the dark. You can see them now. The deeper voice belongs to a larger biped, the higher to a smaller one. You're fond of the small one instantly. It smells amazing. Both wore coverings of plant and animal fibers, colored with chemical dyes. The smaller wore a white covering that clung to her chest in ways that stir you, with arms exposed and a tight deep blue garment on the lower half. The larger wore a pattern of squares in red and black on its top, a deep blue garment covers the lower half as well. Both of them carry metal tubes with carved tree flesh at one end. A sharp focus and sense of danger creeps into your mind when you look at them.

You're unsure if this signifies anything; organization, social standing, importance. Part of your brain tells you that it's likely these two creatures patrolling alone are not terribly important. You sense apprehension and fear from your pursuers.

Maybe you can use that?

"Look, this whole thing is probably a wild goose chase anyway. One fireball in the sky, and everyone's lookin for the boogey man," said the larger one with irritation. The smaller stops and turns towards the larger.

"George; I worked at the treatment plant for four years, I know these tunnels, and they don't phase me. It's probably some kids, there's nothing worth stealing in here. If you want to head back, head back. My Jeep is in the field, I'm sure I can find you all at Morty's or the Sheriff's office when I am done here, alright?" the smaller one says.

"Alright, baby" 'George' says. 'baby' nods and the two kiss, then split up; the larger heading back the way the two had come.
