"A distress signal? Are there still living people in this damned place?"
Surprise showed on Colin's face, but after a moment of thought, it didn't seem too strange, so he continued to ask:
"Where is the distress signal coming from? Can you hear the specifics?"
"It might contain the meaning of 'help' and seems to be mechanically sent on repeat, not by a living person. Beyond that, the rest is unknown, as the signal is very weak when it reaches here. The location, it seems, is just ahead..."
"Ahead, then that must be where the target is."
Colin pondered. He was a bit curious about what could be emitting this signal...
It could be humans, or an anomaly, or perhaps one of the xenomorphic races.
Anyway, the possibilities were numerous...
But no matter which it was, he now had to be careful not to capsize in the gutter all at once.
