The caverns were too delicate with the water pushing down on the controlled cave in Xavier saved them with. The chamber they were in collapsed around them as the water filled adjacent chambers. As the darkness engulfed them a dull red glow appeared off the right of the chamber freshly exposed by the turmoil.

The new chamber lead to a bunker entrance the door of which is open. Inside there are long dormant computers and cobwebs everywhere. Hulking rusting and falling apart machinations seemingly haphazardly pieced together. One of which was missing an arm. In the inner chamber rested the remains of the first crew. One whole and two quartered, all dead. Several of the damaged robots had rotting human limbs where theirs had broken. An adjacent laboratory held dry broken bottles labeled TD110.

The bunker was eerily silent except for the dull hum of laboring machinery.

Xavier looked at Erideth and Alex with a shrug, Alive and dry, can't complain too much, right? he rumbled out a chuckle before glancing around the new cavern he inadvertently opened up while carrying a couple of large trunks full of loot.

Eyes on several of the horror show robots sparked to life and heads began to turn their way. The robots began to roll their way on what looks like mini tank treads. A laser flashed in the dim of the vault burning the wall next to Erideth.

A spiral staircase is the only means to ascend at all from the vault.

Erideth was in the middle of checking her pockets when the laser seared the wall next to her head.

Oh hell no. she said before pulling one of her guns, rolling away from the shot and trying to take out the laser with a bullet. It was a good thing she was in close combat, she might be able to actually hit it.

Of course, her roll had a second purpose as well, trying to lead her closer towards the spiral staircase as well. She wanted to get out safely.

Xavier cracked his neck and put down the two large crates he was hauling, looking at Erideth and Alex while quickly pulling a couple of fragment grenades and shouting, FIRE IN THE HOLE! and tossing the explosives at the approaching mechanized abominations.

Erideth's shot hit the fleshy replacement head on the robot shooting and what was left of the head exploded in a wet sploosh. The three began racing up the spiral staircase do their best to not trip lugging the trunks with them. Followed by the explosion of Xavier's frags.

The robots had long ago lost their main programming in the scramble to repair each other but one program was clear, and that was what to do if intruders ever escaped the vault. All the lights that still worked turned red and an alarm klaxon began to sound. The robots would destroy these intruders to keep their long forgotten corporation's secrets.

The Camp

Kiel sat up from his cot like a shot when the earth began to tremble around them. He ran out of the tent to the command center and got on the radio. "Hey Alex! Xavier! Erideth! Anyone? What's going on? Is everyone okay?"

The Vault

As they were reaching the surface level they began to receive the radio signal again hearing Kiel's message. Behind them an intercom cackled;
<<FOUR MINUTES UNTILL STERALIZATION>>

Hearing the wail of the alarm Kiel jumped into action his men breaking down camp and prepping the ship. Barking a few orders his men plant explosives on Erideth's shuttle and they lift off towards the direction of the locators on the trios radios. Seeing the three passed out on the surface next to a hatch with several trunks Kiel lands.

His men grab and secure Alex, Erideth, and Xavier in the shuttle and put the truck with the globe in front of them the other truck they hide in a smuggler's compartment beneath the shuttle. Several spider robots came crawling suddenly out of the hatch heading towards the shuttle. "Alright boys lets get our charges back to Cai along with what we've fleeced from em! Mount up!"

The shuttle lifts off as the merc who placed the bomb on Erideth's shuttle detonated it. As they raced back the few hours trip to Cai's compound the vault facility along with the mine and the surrounding forest ignite in one massive explosion. The shuttle barely reaches the safest distance as flaming debris falls from the sky. A charred blue sun placard falls into a nearby lake.

The group make it back to Cai's regaining conciseness as they land. Kiel recounts how his men valiantly saved the trio and that they only recovered the one trunk. Erideth on hearing her shuttle didn't make the trip home blackened two random mercs eyes and bit another.

A very emotional Cai on seeing the globe pays out the agreed upon amount along with a bonus for the other relics in the trunk. The three leave the compound and head back into town with $25,000 to split between the three of them. Even with the loss of the shuttle and the other trunk things were finally looking up for the treasure hunters who's luck seemed to be taking a favorable turn for a change. Things were finally looking up.
