[Delta Green] Operas and Avatars: Burn

[Gomez]

Playing the audio produces what sounds like a Gregorian chant. Though the language is not Latin or any that you are familiar with. Several words just sound wrong or impossible for a person to speak. After 45 seconds it ends and you and David are sweating profusely.

Katrina starts to turn to David, but then she notices that she is sweating profusely. Glancing over at David she sees that he has a similar reaction. "I think we should do further analysis on each part. Because of the odd responses we have experienced toward each part, I do not wish to risk running the complete file at this time. What do you think David?"

 

[Gomez]

"I think your right. Though we could run the video and audio together but just in the isolation room. We would not hear or see it inside the control room. That way we can assess if anything happens to the computer or the area around the computer just by playing the file on it. What do you think?" says David.

Katrina nods. "That sound OK. As long as we are not at risk here in the control room. Let's go ahead and run the complete file."

David types on a keyboard and you both watch through the thick safety glass. The computer monitor inside the room is turned so you cannot see it. After 45 seconds nothing seems to happen, but Katrina notices something strange. A distortion in the air in front of the computer. It looks like the rippling effect produced by hot air.

Katrina moves her head to see if it is just an effect of the safety glass. But then she still sees the same effect. "It appears that the air near the computer has raised in temperature. Is there any way to measure the temperature in front of the computer, David. It appears like something has happened in front of the computer."

 

[Gomez]

David checks some readouts. "What? It's 102 degrees in there and rising fast!"

Katrina's jaw drops. She had thought that the temperature was maybe a bit high, but she didn't think it was that high. And the fact that it was still rising was quite disturbing. "Keep a watch on the temperature. We need to see how high it does get. Is that the temperature in the room as a whole? Is there any way to measure the temperature directly in front of the computer terminal?" She is now very glad that she did not try to run this without the help of this lab.

 

[Gomez]

"That is the temperature in the room. It's now 140 degrees!" David says.

The disturbance in front of the computer becomes more and more noticeable. Suddenly there is a flash of light and a small red sphere like a tiny star appears where the disturbance is. The temperature in the room rockets up to 200 degrees and the plastic keyboard begins to melt. David quickly slams his hand down on a button on the control panel. Overhead extinguishers begin to shot out a white gaseous substance that quickly fills the room. "That is Halotron. That should put out any fires in there with out damaging the equipment."

Katrina tries to watch the small red sphere through the Halotron gas. "It is a good thing we weren't in there when this happened. What do you think could be causing the temperature rise and what is that red sphere?"
