Axel

Glimmer

You scramble toward the corridor—when a low growl echoes behind you.
You turn.
A massive malamute blocks your path, teeth bared.
Behind him, a tall man steps into the red glow. Snow clings to his gear. A rifle hangs across his back. His face is unreadable.
Axel (calm, even): "Step away from the door, doc." 
His voice is steady. Too steady.
"Something just came up from Sublevel 3. And it wasn’t human."
