If it weren't for the chronometers on your HUD, there would have been little to indicate how much time passed. With everyone breaking into a jog after Ciaran however, it takes less than 10 standard minutes to cross the curve and reach a straight segment of the tunnel.

Despite your best attempts to move silently, the tunnel reflects and echoes your advance, creating an avalanche of noise heralding your coming to anyone who might wait up ahead. Whatever creatures would have been disturbed by it have long sought refuge in their lairs, spooked by the still ongoing noise of war faintly ringing through the ground.

Even with the enhanced vision of the Astartes, the near absolute lack of light renders the shapes in your vision unclear, but eventually, a meter thick bulkhead, covering the entire width of the tunnel comes into sight. It is open, the arm-thick closing cylinders retracted into the ferrosteel door and rust on its guiding rails reveals that it has not been used for a long time. Beyond it, another station opens, similar in layout and design to the one you came through first, even the relievos on the ceiling and pillars are the same.

All over it however, you can make out the obvious signs of a fight. Bullet holes and the impact of las-bolts mark the the walls, the tracks of boots and dragged objects litter the dust-riddled platform and brown smears along the floor and towards the upward stairs can be safely assumed to be blood, accompanied by empty shells.

Towards the opposite end of the station, both tunnels have been sealed off, yours (the left one) with a bulkhead similar to the one you just passed, while the right one is blocked by a train reaching halfway into the station. It's formerly bright blue hull has nearly disappeared under the sheer number of bullet holes and the unmistakable black traces of a flamer. Where it enters the tunnel, the spaces between the train and the ferrocrete have been shoved full of razor wire, fixed to poles hastily weld onto the exterior.
