Final: Red and Orange

Orange: Clustering

Luckily for those in the facility, with help of some Terran friends they have managed to restore the lights inside the laboratory. It gives them reprise at least.

The night of the sixth day (G10) they will notice a large amount of creatures outside. Away from the light of the facility, but as close as they can be. Surrounding the place. More each hour. Some even get closer, clambering up onto the roof.

A few try to break the glass, but whatever this facility is made out of is tough enough to withstand it. They seem to have learned something these last few nights, sneaking through the shadows, avoiding the beam of light. Others go for the lights themselves, trying to smash those. For the most part they are unsuccessful as well, though a few of the roof lights go dark, creating more shadows for monsters to swarm.

A Discovery: Red.

Following the map on their SCA’s takes them to not far from the laboratory where Orange team are currently holed up. Perhaps an hour or two walk away. Provided they make good progress in daylight hours they will come to the place on the map by mid morning of the seventh day (G11). There, in a sand dune, is a giant orb. Larger than any they have seen. About five meters in diameter. Apart from that it seems much the same as the others, silver, eerie and beautiful.

It floats in the air. There are other orbs around it, normal sized. A great cluster. As if they have been drawn here.

Preparations: Orange

The alarm has been sounding more every night and the line growing larger. It seems whatever is approaching is close.

More immediate by the seventh day (G11) perhaps is the now many orbs surrounding the facility and floating just off the roof. Knowing what they do about them they might not want this many close once night falls.

They also may wish to fix the broken lights and maybe find some way to create more light, position some of the spotlights found in the laboratory perhaps. Whatever is coming, whatever Red had found, they will most likely need light to deal with it if it is related to these creatures.

And of course, those that wish to can move towards where red team have found themselves. They may need the help.

Nightfall: Red

Night falls. The orbs melt away, all of them sinking to the floor, monsters rising in their place. In the centre of the monster group the large orb melts away to reveal a large silver creature. Silver limbs push off the floor as it begins to move, slowly and steadily in the direction of the facility. It has, like the smaller creatures black gem-like eyes, four pairs even. But watching the creature for more than a moment will reveal that it has a defence the smaller creatures do not: eyelids. It blinks slowly as it moves.

"...Yeah, probably." R.I.P the short-lived beautiful future Tidus only just started to envision.

"You don't need anything, do you? To help?"

"I could go for another hot chocolate, if you want to make yourself useful."

Samata tended to forget things like introducing yourself or being polite when she was really focused on something.

"One hot chocolate! You want any food too? Uta can make rice balls and Fandaniel's got some fruits he can make. Or veggies."

If that's her thing--hey, she could always heat up a potato, maybe.
les_magique: (We don't need to worry about that)

A pause.

"...When WAS the last time I ate?"

Her stomach gurgled. "Too long ago, apparently. Yes, some kind of fruit or rice balls would be fine."
blitzcheer: (doesn't have to be that way)

"Haha, you wait here. I'll be back!"

He gives her a quick salute, and then he's off; of course, she's free to do whatever she wants, as long as she's still around when he comes back five to ten minutes later. He's got one of the disposable cups from the hot chocolate machine on a tray, along with some food.

Or, well, it's a tray now. There's not many options for plates for food.

"One feast for the mage," he jokes as he enters back in, looking and walking over to her. ...as long as nothing weird is happening to make him pause.

"Hey, I was thinking. You think we can set any of those up outside? Send a few of the orbs early?"
