Scene: Pyramid Object, Valorum IV | |||
"Go Back," the middle figure rasped. | |||
Immediately Merrick felt like soiling his pants. Very deliberately, he turned to Corbett and DeSimms who were next to him. | |||
"Doctor. John." he said in a controlled, almost conversational tone, "The nice undead man told us to go back." He paused a beat. "Can you see any reason at all why we should stay?" | |||
Corbett mutely gaped and shook his head slightly as though in a daze. DeSimms on the other hand seemed spookily unphased. In fact, by Merrick's estimation, the Security Chief was acting as though the animated corpses in front them were merely shady characters at a bar. Accordingly, DeSimms spared Merrick a look of disdain that pretty much said, "You're the senior officer here. Deal with it." | |||
Merrick sighed, kicked at the dust curtly, bit his lower lip for a second and turned back to address the trio. | |||
"Gentlemen. We've been, ah, worried about you. Would mind telling us why we should go back." | |||
The group did not immediately answer, but Merrick took note of a slight trembling in the figure on the left. | |||
"Is there a problem with your friend?" | |||
The middle figure's head tilted ever so slightly and his face seemed to dissolve from a somewhat saddened blank into a contortion of rage and pain. | |||
"YOU DAMNED FOOLS!" an unworldly voice suddenly boomed from within him. | |||
NRPG: Oh. Crap. | |||
