The Triage of Kharon’s Fall: Chapter 7 — The Mine That Shouldn’t Be There

They thought they were entering a service tunnel.Instead, Elowen’s squad crosses a gate that shuts like a verdict—into corridors too clean, too straight, too old to belong to any mine the Dominion ever cut. Their scanners die. Their orders don’t.Command wants descent. The key is already in their hands. The wounded are already slowing them down. And something in the walls is already awake.When the platform rises from a perfect black shaft, there’s no railing, no mercy—only a way down. Then the first metal scarabs start to fall.And beneath the world, an buried machine-city waits, pulsing green in the dark… as if it has been listening for them.Reformed Theologian GPT: https://chat.openai.com/g/g-XXwzX1gnv-reformed-theologianYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@ReformedExplainerSpotify Music: https://open.spotify.com/artist/1t5dz4vEgvHqUknYQfwpRI?si=e-tDRFR2Qf6By1sAcMdkdwhttps://buymeacoffee.com/edi2730
