Onward: Orange
A Stormy Night
The night of day six of Grasshopper begins to get blustery, and rain begins to fall shortly after the sun sets. Just after midnight they are facing a full-on storm. It’s quite interesting to watch, for those who need a break from investigating. Especially up on the top floor, where the glass roof gives a good view; all the instruments are set up to monitor weather patterns and are operating perfectly, a fascinating watch for those interested in such things.
It’s a little noisy, but not too bad for those that want to sleep; it’s just another distraction along with the perpetual light. Still it is, for the most part, a peaceful night.
Lights OUT
Peaceful, that is, until about an hour before dawn on day seven, their third day on-world. A large clap of thunder booms overhead, a massive flash of light brightens even the sky around the station… and something hits the facility so hard that it seems to rock. The lights go out.
Every single light and screen in the building go dark at once.
It’s only a few moments before the machines whir back to life. Monitors and equipment rebooting, a cascade of beeps and whirrs and start-up tones. The lights, however, do not come back on. Clearly emergency lighting has never been a concern for a people that can see in the dark.
It’s a concern now. From across the facility, everywhere there was an orb, there are now monsters. A lot of monsters. Grey, long limbed and ready to attack.
Luckily for the Voidtreckers, the monsters on the very bottom floor have found something more interesting than hunting them. Within moments, they smash through the grates along the floor, and begin clambering downwards.
Downwards seems to be through some kind of service shaft, though easily big enough to fit a person in. They skitter down into the darkness, if any of Orange try and follow they can. It will be a steep, treacherous descent; they may need to break out that climbing gear to descend safely.
Something Approaches
Back in the facility, the monsters that didn’t descend are instead attacking anyone they find with mindless savagery. A little while after the attack starts those near the top floor will hear a siren, ringing out into the darkness. It is not constant, rather it peaks and fades. Anyone who goes to investigate will find it comes from a black metal machine on the top floor, its screen showing a now constantly flashing, wavy green line and the words SIGNAL FOUND. As time passes, the green wave on-screen grows taller.
Luckily, they only have to last the remaining hour until dawn and when the sunlight shines through the glass of the facility the monsters shatter. In their place rise familiar orbs. Any monsters on the sub-levels remain active whilst the facility is in darkness.
The alarm subsides during the day. The machine’s wave remains the same size, pulsing only occasionally. Once night falls on the third day (Grasshopper 7), it shrills, and the wave continues to grow.

"Get back!" [She was yelling at the monster, which was trying to duck away from the lights to get at them again despite her effort to keep it at bay.]

Then, much to Masumi’s shock, it shattered. It was a moment before she could react, apparently not expecting it to do that.]
“...I guess that’s one way to deal with them. Want to get out of here before more show up?”
no subject
[He glanced around for the nearest exit out of the area they were in]
"That way."
no subject
“That was a good idea to aim at it’s eyes, then. Now that we know how to deal with those things, I don’t have to try and get as close to stop them.”
[It was framed as a bit of a nervous joke, but she was genuinely happy to have a way to stop the monsters that didn’t involve trying to physically fight them.]
no subject
[He wasn't looking forward to being attacked it. And as they are heading towards the door]
"They are elsewhere in the building too?"
no subject
[She had her flashlight pointed ahead as she spoke, turning it from side to side in hopes of not getting jumped.]
“I just hope we can get the lights back on soon, if that’s what it takes to stop those things. One was bad enough.”
no subject
[Also, it answered more questions than it answered, but he wasn't going to go into that right now. They needed to make sure they weren't going to be attacked.
He shined his light as well, trying to see where they were going and making sure nothing came at them]
"I hope so too. If all the orbs are monsters, this is not a good situation in the dark."
