"That's enough to wake the dead," he said out loud to himself.

"Must you use that word?"

She joined him in pounding on the door again, this time with relish until her hands and wrists hurts so badly she had to stop.

Inside, Carlos, the Mother-General and several others were giving final instructions to their groups before leaving through this exit. They heard a slight dinging. Not very loud on their side when, in fact, on the other side the sound was deafening. Of course, the noise wasn't bothering the residents outside the door. Then it became louder, much louder as the owners of the knocker grew more desperate.

Outside, the metal door reverberated with a deafening clang after clang as Harry's "Cyber fist" struck it. _That's sure to bring them running—both Cyber and Shadows,_ he hoped. _Question was, who was coming first?_

Simultaneously, Harry was concerned that the door was too thick for those inside to hear their banging. He couldn't predict a human response to his pounding, but he knew Cyber would be coming quickly to investigate their noise. It was an interruption of normal sounds coming from the area.

However, that was not all that was moving in the tunnel. The sewer vermin were starting to rush through it too. They were running headlong toward the most unstable portion of the tunnel: the sludge. He hoped it was not one or more of the crocodile-like creatures coming their way. If not them, though, what else? _Rats and spiders don't scare easily._ Harry would be the first to admit he didn't know what else was out there, but he did know something scary was driving these animals to them. The animals and insects were fleeing death, which meant death was heading straight for them, too!

To make matters worse, now there was sloshing coming from the other direction. _Another croc? More rats?_ Dark solidified sludge seemed to be floating on top of the sewage. _Could be feces or other debris. It isn't._ Taking a closer look, he found it wasn't sludge at all, but rats and insects climbing on top of one another to keep from drowning. He fell back and almost went under. Then, came the sound of rushing water.

Harry turned to see the level of the water in the tunnel rising dramatically. The water

 Simultaneously, Harry was concerned that the door was excessively thick for those inside to hear their battering. He couldn't bode a human response to his pounding, but he knew Cyber would be coming promptly to investigate their noise. It was an interruption of normal sounds coming from the sphere.
