A loud booming noise echoed down the tunnels, followed by a deeper, more powerful rumbling.
Walt looked around, and he barely got off a "What-" before the ground shifted under his feet, knocking him flat on his face.
This is bad, Greg said, the melting ice must have-
Walt practically shoved Greg in control. Shut up and keep us alive! You can work out why this happened once this is over!
Greg stifled a response and reached out with his mind, grabbing loose rocks and forming a protective dome.
Suddenly, though, there was a loud electric discharge, and they tumbled towards the wall. "The gravity generators must be damaged!", Greg shouted, forming the dome more tightly around him. Now that there was a definite down, rubble began falling from the ceiling, pelting his impromptu shield with detritus.
Now that we're out of immediate danger, Eric said, rocks raining down on the shield harmlessly, what were you saying, Greg?
Oh, I was just theorizing that the ice served an important structural purpose, and when it began to melt, the tunnels became unstable enough that a concussion of sufficient power could cause parts of them to collapse.
Any idea how widespread it would be?
No way to tell. This could shake the whole cave, or it could be just a few tunnels. We would have to look around to see the full extent of the damage.
Well let's stay here for now, at least until this place stops shaking. Hopefully this shouldn't last too much longer.
