What Lies Below. [ 2 ]

*Elevator door opens*

As soon as I step out of the Elevator, I can already tell....

This is where they held the "patients."

A 50 Foot High Ceiling.

A perimeter wide enough to put a football field.

Crates to keep them locked up. Seems like it's made out of Lydium.

I can see atleast 80 of these crates in this room alone.

This room reeks of medicine, and puke.

You can barely breath in here. Without puking your guts out.

I turn around.

I can see the "wardens" watch-room above.

So much for being a research station.

This is plain out a prison.

I can probably get up there. Using the "magnet" in my soles.

For investigations on stations, meteors and planets, without gravity. I'm equipped with a magnet on my sole, to make sure I don't drift to space.

Not like it's gonna do me harm, but better safe than sorry.

I quickly "attach" my feet into the wall, and start making my way up. To the warden's room.

I can probably find more information what these holdings are for, and clues that might lead me to the identity of

"Patient-1118"

*Shatters Window*

Didn't think I had to use my powers for something so small.

Let's hope this is the only time.

I have to use it.

As I pace around the room, I can say the warden was a former general. From the Dark Manipulators Army.

But why? Why would they need to pull out such a powerful general, in the middle of

a war from the frontlines???

Just what is it with this place...

After snooping around for a bit I found out this basement goes deeper, and I'm only in Block A.

Things will probably get clearer if I head deeper.

Guess I'll start being cautious from now on, it doesn't feel like I'm alone.

While I head to Block B.

Let me explain how my power works,

I can manipulate photons. I can make them do all sorts of things. Combustion, Displacement, and other Trivial things.

But I need to amass them, or take them from something that originally has already accumulated enough. Like my ship.

In simpler terms

I make things go boom.

I make things move.

Those are really the most practical things I can do.

We entity holders are imbued with divine powers. It can be from just being able to make a flower bloom.

To making an entire forest rise, and come to life.

I've been blessed with an ability to control photons, but not everyone is as fortunate. That's why I don't want to waste it on needless bloodshed, and harming innocent lives. That's why I chose to retreat from the frontlines. Instead investigate peculiar cases like these.

If I could somehow, end all of this. Without the cost of innocent lives. From both sides. I swe~~

*Alien Screeching*

Crap! Didn't expect for them to be so many.

They're called "Kontsumorphs" They're small bug like creatures, but they can grow up to 5 feet big. If left alone long enough.

They consume rotting flesh, and take energy from dying areas. This area is basically like nirvana for them.

The small ones aren't a threat. But I need to be careful about running into the big ones. With their numbers they can overwhelm me. Since I'm far from my ship I can only use my photon bolts. Dozen more times, before I need to head back to the ship.

Maybe I can sneak around them.....

I see the door to block C at the end of the hall.

I can sneak around them by "sticking" to the walls.

Let's go!

{ Diane attaches her self to the walls to avoid the Kontsumorphs,}

Everything's going well. Too well.....

Almost like it's a trap.

{ All of a sudden 3 huge Kontsumorphs start screeching. Alerting the smaller but faster Kontsumorphs }

{ Diane Takes out the 3 huge Kontsumorphs with her Photon Bolts, and makes a run towards the door at the end of the hall }

I can't make it!

I can't make it!

I can't make it!

I can't make it. . . . . . .

Yeah...I can't.

This is it how it ends. I can't say I didn't see this coming. This is how it should end.....

{ Diane tries her best fighting back, but is overwhelmed by the Kontsumorphs }

Well....

I did my best.

"Sorry, Brother."
