Nora exited the hut

Nora poked her head out from around the doorway.

She saw a street. It was actually just a wide, long tunnel, but the word 'street' felt more accurate. It wasn't the perfect word, but she couldn't think of anything better. It was a street, with a low cavern ceiling, though high enough that she wouldn't have to worry about her head too much. On both sides were huts built into the walls, some were made of rocks, some mud, while others still were dug and gouged straight into the tunnels wall. Glowing blue crystals were embedded periodically in various surfaces, giving just enough light to see, but still dim enough to sneak or be ambushed.

A few Morloks passed by her building in a group. Only one of them spoke, flicking its tongue out, while the others just marched in silence, only blinking occasionaly. She wasn't sure yet how good their sight was, so she ducked around the corner and out of sight. When she couldn't hear the soft pitter-patter of feet she looked out again.

"Fascinating, truly fascinating," she said to herself in amazement. This will certainly be hailed as one of the most important finds in human history! She pondered whether this would fall under anthropology or ethology; they'll probably have to come up with a new field of study for this! She decided that while she was here, she'd learn as much as she could about these creatures.

After saving Brock first of course.
