TAA//Communicate with the aliens
From Create Your Own Story
You decide to take a risk, hoping that the creatures might be guardians of the obelisk, misunderstood protectors rather than mindless attackers. You step forward, raising your hands in a gesture of peace, your voice calm and steady.
"Wait!" you call out to your team, who look at you with a mixture of shock and disbelief. "Let's try to communicate. They might be protecting something important."
The creatures pause, their black, soulless eyes fixating on you. Heart pounding, you slowly approach, maintaining eye contact and keeping your movements deliberate and non-threatening.
"We mean no harm," you say softly, inching closer. "We're here to understand, to learn."
For a moment, it seems to work. The creatures hesitate, their growls softening into curious clicks and hisses. Dr. Drakov and the team watch in tense silence, barely daring to breathe. You take another step forward, feeling a glimmer of hope.
But then, one of the creatures lets out a piercing screech, its eyes flaring with sudden fury. In a flash, it lunges at you, its claws slashing across your chest. Pain sears through you as you stagger back, blood spilling from the deep gashes.
Chaos erupts. The creatures descend upon your team with terrifying speed and savagery. You hear the screams of your colleagues, the sickening sound of flesh being torn and bones snapping. Dr. Drakov tries to fight them off with her flashlight, but it's no use. The creatures are relentless.
You fall to the ground, vision blurring as you struggle to breathe. Through the haze of pain, you see the carnage unfold. The creatures rip through your team, their claws and teeth leaving nothing but devastation in their wake. The air is filled with the metallic scent of blood and the sounds of death.
As darkness closes in, the last thing you see is the obelisk, its eerie light flickering as if in mockery. The ancient, inscrutable secrets it holds remain locked away, guarded by the merciless creatures that now turn their attention to the ruins, as if nothing had happened.
Your attempt at peace has ended in horror, the legacy of Ziran the Tester shrouded once more in blood and shadows.
