They Know (Part 3)
3D Render by slofkoskyThe vent cover didn’t come loose at first.
Eydis hooked her fingers through the slats and pulled with more strength than a human can apply until the metal bent around her hands. Behind her, the hulking, wrinkled mass of flesh and questing tentacles crashed fully through the wall display, its body lit by firelight and broken glass.
Baxter barked once.
She caught his muzzle, gentle but firm.
With the grate torn free.
She shoved the neon parrot into the duct first, then Baxter.
“Go!she shouted.
Baxter scrambled into the vent, nails scraping metal. Eydis crawled in after him and dragged the broken grate crookedly over the opening. It would not stop the thing. But seconds mattered now.
They crawled fast through the narrow metal throat of the station, Baxter panting ahead of her, firelight pulsing through the seams.
Then the sound came.
A thin, needle bright scream bled through the walls, too high for human ears to properly understand. Her sensors caught all of it. The frequency cut across her systems like static through exposed nerves.
Pain response: manageable.
Below them, the corridor went silent.
Not gradually.
All at once.
Baxter whimpered around the parrot and flattened against the duct floor. Eydis covered him with her body, palms clamped over his ears, counting each frightened breath until the vibration passed.
Then something wet struck the wall beneath them.
After that came a softer sound.
Chewing.
Eydis moved again.
The duct opened into a larger maintenance crawlspace crowded with pipes, heat and hanging cables. Three levels above them, the command center waited. From there she could find the breach points, the escape pods, the living and the dead.
Her processors wanted probabilities.
Her heart yearned for just one.
Martin.
Probability of surviving: 38%
NOTES:-----------------
I really should put a TL;DR thingy at the top.
So many problems trying to render this third scene. Daz Studio SEEMS to have a problem with VDB's at times. I can't render past iteration 87 when I have the VDB flames. It just freezes forever. Same results in Beta version of DS. The render you see is with "Post Denoiser *" turned ON, rendered to exactly iteration 87. I then sharpened it in Google Snapseed but it's still missing details.

Your writing style is palpable. I feel the emotions of the situation because of how you build suspense. A TL;DR would cheat the semi-literate out of a treat! I'm really enjoying this story! It's a page turner.
Thanks for mentioning the VDB flame issue. I thought it was my problem.
