Opening the floor in Lorne was releasing something that wanted to be released. The failed Aldren point is not pressing upward. It is collapsing inward.

She did a couple of breathing exercises until her heart stopped beating very hard against her chest. Vee looked into the mirror and saw that her face was flushed. She didn't mean to react to Brian's nakedness. She had only seen a few men naked, two men to be exact, her exes. But they weren't as hot as the greek god she just saw. She had no idea he had arrived or would even be naked in his room.

The stench of cold sweat and chemical dust filled his nostrils, burying Vardan’s pine scent that usually dominated his senses.

Sora’s heart hammered against his ribs in a painful rhythm, pumping adrenaline through a body that was still weakened.

With a heavy hiss of pneumatic pressure, the titanium plate slid open, revealing a narrow, pressurized escape tube equipped with high-density diving rebreathers hanging on the wall.
