[QUOTE="Isida Kep'Tukari, post: 6260748, member: 4441"] Duncan clings with all the considerable strength of his hands, and in a few moments, Echo switches the gravity orientation back to "floor" so Duncan can stand up again. The door at the bottom opens, and another squad of abhumans comes through. They part and march around the body of the fallen one, walking past Duncan without comment, turning in unison to nod at Echo before going to the platform to elevate themselves to the surface. Once they've gone past, all in the Gravity Hall can walk down the corridor. At the bottom of the corridor, the abhuman is decidedly dead. And crushed. Smashed. Curiously, you can see the antenna has dislodged from its cranium, looking like a rod of metal with silver "rootlets" coming out the other end. In the lower hall, a quick perusal reveals that Wisco is nowhere to be seen. However, there is an open hatch in the floor off to one side that wasn't there before. [sblock=Wisco]You place your hand on the panel, and there's a disorienting rush of information. First you see your own memories flicker past in double-time. Then you see a stone temple, the stones crafted from simple, handheld tools, crafted to surround an ancient spring. From the sky come three huge columns of synth and metal and glass that slam into the ground near the temple. Extensions begin to emanate from the columns, creating walls and layers. The walls cannot seem to build close to the stone temple, and instead it is encysted below the walls, though the spring continues to flow. There's a faint glow about the stone temple, and inside you can hear the breathing of something huge... Then all of a sudden you are back, solidly within your own mind and body[/sblock] [/QUOTE]
