Good heavens but this thing really freaks me out! Great job! Keep 'em coming!

Yee haw! That was beautiful.
The suddenly appearing crack seems a little surprising, though. How come Jo and Denis didn't notice it when trying to escape? I'd think that "follow mysterious crack to freedom" would be on their to-do list. Also, how come the soup didn't drain out of it, and why didn't the scientist patch it when it first occurred? How come the lizard thing didn't escape out of it? Not to be fussy; its appearance just surprised me.
"Never ... be ... clean ... again." Glorious. Elph, you may want to review your friendship with Jon, as one has to wonder if there isn't some sort of subliminal antagonism going on here.

Heeeeee... Speaking as someone whose PCs don't have hugs and choral singing centers either, this floored me.
By the way... As a result of this thread's annoyingly infrequent updates, I have decided that when my story hour is actually UPDATED, and not just bumped by some useless prattle, I will be changing the subject line to say UPDATE! for a day or two.

Ah, I think you're missing the subtlety of jonrog's plan. See, he's a professional writer. He knows exactly how to string us along, for how long, with what cliffhangers, teasers, and taunts too. He knows just what he can get away with. Unlike, say, Piratecat, or Sepulchrave, who are gifted amateurs at the art of rat-bastardly cliffhanging, jonrog is a PRO.
D20 Dark*Matter: DSG with Guns, Zombie Toddlers and Bad Aliens UPDATED
Once again, streamlining for compression's sake. They saw the crack, but a.) It stayed on the same level as the zombies, which was plainly not a good idea (and would have also required the zombie slalom) and b.) plainly led into some sort of underground cavern, also probably not a good idea.
The soup didn't drain out because the crack did indeed lead to a cavern -- and then a continuous tunnel -- on the same level, which was also flooded with meat-soup. It was, as we'll also learn soon, where the other zombies were resting up before their little underground treck.
The lizard thing swam away, leaving a ripple in the gunk, and no one know where he went off to. Come to think of it, that is a loose end ...
Not that it'll be bothering anybody. Nobody lives within two hundred miles of that refinery ... now.
The antagonism moved up to the ... err, liminal on the next adventure. At one point Jo pointed her cigarette in my face and screamed "I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING TO ME!"
She's just so much fun to freak out. Poor girl didn't sleep for three days after seeing The Ring.
I assume you and KidC have seen it? Best American horror movie in a while, and actually a better flick than the Japanese original. Although it was the original which had me backing up on my couch at midnight, screaming "NO! F&#@KING! WAY!"
Oh, and I'm stealing Wulf's idea. Smart man, that Wulf.
Thanks for reading, as always,
John

The Ring
You got that one right, JonRog, The Ring is just pure creepiness. Scariest movie I've seen since... well, just the scariest movie I've ever seen. It got to me and usually that sort of film leaves me unfazed. My actual first sentence after leaving the theatre was, "So, how long has this been out now?" I was actually really concerned that I was seeing it within the first seven days of release
Keep up the spectacular posts, I can't wait to see what happens next! Personally, the delays between posts don't bother me too much, since I'd never get anything of my own written if this thread got updated every day
