-Meanwhile, far from everywhere else.-
It is a darkly lit room, dark, but not silent: the yowls and screams of many creatures can be heard, none of them sounding remotley humanoid. The only scource of light is man working on somthing on a computer, on the screen is a detail of a broken down skull..."No....the temporal can go here....The frontal there.....will be perfect...perfect...."
an unseen door opens, and a second man enters the room. "Sir, a few hours ago we detected an...'unique' energy scource,...I beleive it is the same type from last month..Also, it appears that a small concetrated ammount remains..."
The first man sighs and turns of the computer. He gets up, the schreeching of his chair echoing throught the room. "I need to see this for myself...." He mutters as he heads to the door., shutting it with a loud THUD.
The second man is left alone. "I know we were right...we won't have to kill any of us this time!....Either way....Lets see the progress of the others..." He heads over to a wall and flips a series of switches, and the room immidiatly begins to brighten, showing 4 cages and tanks. Within the first appears to be a large grey mass suspended within a liquid. The mass appears to rotate, with an occasional skeletal hand scraping the glass. Within the second tank: several large silvery creatures dart about, costantly trying to break apart the glass, with bright neon-green eyes utop their heads. Apparantly satisfied, the second man looks at the other two tanks.
Within the third: a charred corpse of some kind lies in the middle, it appears hominoid, but it continuosly with a rapid pace decomposes and regenerates itself. With a final glance, he stares at the fourth tank....but all that seems to be in it is a medium-sized oval-shaped object, oddly though: several tubes appear to be attached to the object, appearing to be sending....somthing... Into it. Satisfied with all this, the second man shuts off the lights and leaves, locking the door several times over.
The second man then proceeds to walk through a corridor with one flickering light overhead. He hears more screams, but appears unaffected by it. Eventually he finds the First man watching some sort of radar. "You were right....It IS that energy....Collect the rest of it.." He tells the Second, who nods.
"And the concentrated bit sir?" he asks
The first appears to ponder the thought for a moment. "Keep track of it but don't attempt to extract it....yet...Apparantly someone is guarding that piece..." he pushes several buttons on an adjacent keyboard and an image pops up. He points to it and grins. "That right there.....that is our ticket.......Heh- he clasps the second man on hs shoulder.- We're nearly there! soon....everything will be nothing to us....and gods....Well, once we're finished....What will gods be to a titan?" He starts to laugh, and on the computer he was just on, an image shows up: an image of a Small. Green. Gem.
