[GM]
As he moves closer, he can hear shouts in the room at the
end of the passage.  Many shouts, in fact, and in some in
very inhuman voices.

When Carlos reaches the end of the passage, he can see
into what looks like a large domed chamber beyond.  It's
hard to tell because only emergency lights are on, but he
does see what looks distinctly like a large floating brain
surrounded by a number of fishmen making their way towards
him.  Beside them is one of the funny ape-men he and Talas
had seen before.

The ape-man shouts out "Surrender or die!"  A rather
intimidating-looking rifle is held in the air.
[/GM]

OOC: Directly beneath Carlos's feet is the subfloor
hatch that the rest of the company went down.
