Scene: Pyramid Object, Valorum IV | |||
DeSimms wrinkled his nose at the musty odor wafting up from the shattered crystal body. It acted like it had been frozen but his HUD heat view said it was room temp cool. Warily he looked all around him, above and below. The room was quiet and bland. Nothing remarkable aside from the carved stone. | |||
It didn't take long for the gang to arrive. Corbett took one look at the shattered corpse and whistled. Nearby, Merrick started to mouth "What the Hell" over and over again. Gar's antennae stood up on end and his teeth were visibly clenched. | |||
"Corbett?" Merrick demanded. | |||
"Your guess is as good as my gosh, Sean. This isn't anything I've heard of." He handled a chunk of someone's dead face. A single frozen eye, full of desperate fear, gazed up at them. | |||
"The poor bastard knew something bad was happening," Corbett commented. | |||
"This doesn't make a damn bit of sense." Merrick complained. "Where is the thing that did this? Why haven't we seen it yet?" He looked at DeSimms who merely shrugged and snapped his fingers. Like well trained dogs, the security formed up and they started down the cooridor again leaving the trio to puzzle out the latest dead body. | |||
Wherever it was, DeSimms mused, it was almost certainly ahead. | |||
NRPG: A quick one to keep me on the board. I'll write more as time allows. I think we're about to make "the encounter." | |||
Respectfully Submitted, | |||
