Re: The Blackness 1-1
Bartja, Desi and Hammer sprint after the fleeing black massed figure...
Kri'lik begins examining Kyrian, though it is an alien physiognomy.
S'Krllk moves into Kyrtok's room. The room is completely dark. Luckily, this is just due to the lights being out and not to any unnatural blackness.
As they round the corner, Desi, Bartja and Hammer see an extraordinary sight. Along the far bend in the corridor is a black streak, as though the figure ran directly through the wall and left a black shadow behind.
The outline of the figure is about 5 feet, 8 inches high, has a roughly humanoid shape -- two arms, two legs, and a head and torso -- but it is so amorphous and blob-like that you can't tell if it was human, dralasite, yazirian or something else entirely. It almost looks like an artist has made broad strokes with black pain and a paintbrush.
On the floor below the black streaks is a small red item that looks like a flat pen of some sort.
Kri'lik sees that the hole in Kyrian's head appears to be like a burn, but without burn marks. However, there are black, familiar looking streaks of a small size within the wound. It is as if Kyrian was hit with a flying one of those streaks you saw on the floor.
But Kyrian himself is very much dead.
When Kri'lik looks up again Kyrillian is gone, having fled the way you came.
S'Krllk goes into Kyrtok's and turns on the lights. The place is a mess, as if someone had been looking for something. There is a bed to the left, a computer straight ahead, and a closed chest at the foot of the bed with a broken lock. Clothes are scattered everywhere.
To the right there is a table set up like a private laboratory. But it is a strange sight:
An object like a flashlight or laser focuser is on the left on a stand pointed to the right. It has a button to turn it on or off. There is a second button below the first and a slot under the device. Next to that button is the word "reset."
On the far right is a receiving unit to receive the light. Between the laser pointing device and the receiving unit are five slots in which crystals can be placed.
Next to the laser is a jar of octagon shaped crystal lenses -- like eyeglass lenses. Each crystalline lens has a slightly different tint, making many different colors, including white and black.
Right now, five lenses are put into the slots, with the following colors (left to right): Red, Purple, Black, Black, Black.
OOC: The room has not been thorough searched or items looked at. This is just what you see upon walking into the room.
