The pods descended back into the floor. They moved through a series of oval tunnels until they all ended up in the same ghastly room. The walls inside the room were covered with human bodies; they appeared to be melded with the pale red walls. Their faces were etched with despair; their mouths agape; their eyes blanched.

In its right hand was a knife with a serrated blade, stained red.
