 For a moment you watch the blue lights flickering upon the high ceiling, and then a long forgotten memory returns like a nightmare rearing out of the darkness. You have spent many years on the frontier and more than one of your fellow travellers has spoken of the things that lurk in the deep earth. Here you have found one of them. All about the floor, strewn between boulders and fallen stone you can see the remains of Men and Hordim who have previously wandered into this deadly chamber. Most are long dead, the agonies of their passing clearly expressed in the tortured remains, the oldest nothing more than skeletons covered in multitudes of tiny puncture marks.
In the time it takes to turn on your heel and run for the passage at your back, the lights above detach from their resting places and swarm towards you. These innocent looking lights are Needle Flies, insects bigger than a large man's fist and equipped with a long razor-sharp proboscis that can pierce the thickest clothing. Out of the ceiling they descend upon you in their thousands, the swarm a surging wave of death.
