The entire exterior is made of a dull-like material that looks like lead. Three curved triangular windows protrude from the front of the craft.  Although it seemed to have crashed, the surface was unmarked.  The runway was pitted from the impact.  The craft glowed dimply and surrounding the hull was debris from the inside of the ship, including three badly burned Grey bodies.Hammer stepped up to the ship.  “I don’t suppose there’s a door here anywhere…”A single entry ramp opened from the bottom center of the craft.  The craft rose slightly to allow the small steps to lower. Mist spilled out of the entrance, glowing with a yellow light.Inside was a low-ceiling interior made of a soft red-brown adobe-like material.  It was carefully and ergonomically shaped.  The ceilings were gracefully arched and the corridors serpentine and smooth.  The floors were made of a shiny black material which was covered in tiny green and purple writing.   Every square foot of the ceiling was covered in tiny sigils.The Greys entered behind Hammer. The tunnel interior seemed much larger than the exterior of the craft would allow. It was littered with strange objects.The tunnels beyond branched in three different directions.  A smashed Grey body lay in the center tunnel, its arms broken at both the forearms and shoulders.  The Greys walked ahead of Hammer, ushering him on.The room was spherical and all the surfaces seemed to be made of clay.  A very large chunk had peeled off in a thick strip and pinned a small hideous creature to the ground. “What the…” Hammer leaned closer to take a look at the “dog.”It was approximately six feet long, not much bigger than a human being, and was built somewhat like a crab, composed of sponge-like material covered in irregularly-spaced bits of chitinous exoskeleton. The part that appeared to be the head changed colors as Hammer watched, from red to blue and back again.  It had no offensive-looking teeth or claws.  “This is your dog?”The Greys started moving the rubble, although it was no more effective than children digging with their bare hands.  Hammer started hefting some of the pieces off when Guppy ran in, panting.“Guppy?”“Hammer!” shouted Guppy, eyes wild.  “What’s going on?”“It’s back!” shouted Guppy.  His eyes were practically bulging, panting from the exertion.  “It’s back!”“What’s back?  It’s got to be pretty bad for you to be in here…” Hammer gestured around him. Guppy was careful to not look around.  “I…uh…”“What is it?” said Hammer, lifting another piece of rubble and tossing it aside.“The thing…at the Kalms’ house…”“The dimensional shambler?”Guppy nodded.  “It’s back!”</blockquote>
