Yorha 2B, Pt.11 - Subterranean Descent

In order to eliminate subterranean threats, I initiated infiltration past the iron grate. Gripping the cold, rusted parallel bars with both gloved hands, I lowered my frame between the vertical slots and dropped onto an anchored cast-iron rung embedded in the concrete shaft wall. Below, a damp draft carried the scent of wet silt. A water strider darted across the shallow trickle, disturbing the dark surface. Finding no hostile combatants, only stagnant runoff, I neutralized an operational hazard by kicking a jagged sliver of aluminum can clear of the flow before climbing back to the curb. Perimeter secured.
