Live From The Underground

Frances has sent you to a tunnel that will lead you straight back to Mor Island, and the walls are covered in fungus. Luckily, you've gotten good information from Dearg. But the longer it takes for Janine to get hydrated and rested, the worse the damage the nanites can do. Casper is coughing, and Sam realises the vegetable-smelling liquid was a fungus accelerant. He's turning into a V-Type, and you need to run!

Janine notices the cave paintings, even as her vision blurs. They are from the first islanders. But Sam realises the fungus is growing toward you all; Janine explains it's intelligent, so you must keep away from the walls. Casper is right behind you, so you must move quickly.

You come across some statues covered in silver mud -- the same substance that the nanites in Janine are made from. It has stopped fungus growing on the statues. But now the cave is shaking. Janine thinks the fungus is trying to bring the cave's ceiling down, so time to run to avoid being buried alive.

You all come to a crossroads. Across the gorge in front of you, you find Casper has taken a different route to get ahead of you. To the right, Janine can smell fresh air. You take the route, but Casper lurches forward, clearly taking a different path to try and cut you off.

There's a new mural, this time huge. It includes all of you and the Islanders, so must be recent. It uses the same silver paint, and stops the V-Type that was Casper from getting any closer. But the mural stops before the cave that leads outside, and that cave is full of fungus that is surging in an attempt to cave it in. You'll have to make a run for the outside.

You emerge on Mor Island, under the Laird's estate, and Janine can finally drink from a nearby stream. The cave entrance is covered with silver paint, making you all realise that someone here is up to something greater than Jones. Someone must have painted the islanders onto the mural, and someone has the missing fragment of the Edda that describes fruiting the fungus.
