Deeper and deeper the tunnels of the abandoned Dolvehk Mines reach into the bedrock below the planet's surface. These mines date back hundreds to thousands of years, before the Dolvehk Quarantine was initiated. Wandering through one of the deepest tunnels of the mines was the lone human assassin named Liz. The air was getting musty and thin, and her copy of the map generated from the seismic scans was getting harder to read as her light source was about to go out. Fortunately, she was almost at her target destination. As she turned the corner, she pulls out the portable seismic scanner given to her by her employer. The scanner was good for analyzing small areas and determining how dense the scanned area is. Liz holds the scanner up to the nearby walls until she found the least dense area; This is where she would plant the explosives.
Liz carefully attaches the seismic explosives to the wall and ducks behind a pile of large rocks. At the count of three, she detonates the explosives, sending seismic pulses into deep into the wall, and through the hard carbonite shell of the Dolvehk Quarantine Sphere. The wall starts to cave in along with the surrounding mineshaft. This was Liz's chance to enter the biosphere to complete her mission. Liz avoids all the falling rocks caving in around her as she dove through the small hole carved out by the seismic explosives. She sticks the landing on the other side, not looking back to see the hole cave in behind her.
She stands up to survey her surroundings. She was in what appeared to be a large, wide sewer tunnel, and she was standing on a solid walkway spanning alongside the wall. In the center of the tunnel between each walkway was a strong surging current of raw sewage, the smell of which filled the air, mixed with the debris of the recently collapsed mineshaft. However, in no time at all, Liz could hear a a mechanical humming sound, characteristic to that of sentry/maintainence drones that are all too common in most developed civilizations throughout the galaxy. If one of them spots Liz, it could instantly raise the alarm and give away her position, making her mission significantly difficult. She could see searchlights shining down the tunnel from around the corner; the drones were closing in fast...
