The Terrible Two

The tension in the air crackled as Midas and `Borno` observed the unfolding chaos.

What the fuck was happening here?

Was someone getting robbed in broad white-room light?

The crowded space around them was pulsating with restless energy as the three aliens at the centre stood at a standstill.

Midas and the little Cyclops stood back, allowing the commotion to unfold before them and Midas even wished he had some popcorn at that moment because he knew this was going to get interesting.

Midas was not the only one who was merely watching. Everyone did the same thing for various reasons.

Some just liked watching the intrigue and conflict playing out at the room's centre.

Some wanted to test out some hypotheses they had about getting violent in the white room.

Some wanted to see if the Golden Orb could be taken, and others just did not know whether to get involved or not.

They were all strangers after all.
