At the earliest projection, seventeen days, Earth standard. The schedule seemed to be tied to several hundred variables, however.

The passage stays narrow as it curls around, creating an s-bend before it starts running straight toward the interior. There are irregular alcoves and oddly placed blocks near the entrance, but further in no side-corridors or doors break the smooth walls. Up ahead, the passage opens out into a larger room, but the Vex have placed a monolithic stone block shortly before the doorway, as they have a prejudice against strange snipers.

There is no ceiling, but the walls rise far too high for sunlight to filter down. Cold white light shines from panels bedded in the walls, from deep grooves in stone cubes that lie discarded with apparent carelessness. They throw harsh black shadows over the stone and metal.

The moment she's over the threshold Blaze can feel the gathered Darkness in this fortress. It presses in on her senses for a minute, promising malice, promising no escape for any Guardian who falls here. It's as good as a welcome. She shrugs at the empty corridor and fetches in her Pike. //Entrance passage is easy to block. Leave them there?//
