Once again dreams of the orb, delusions which grant me some kind of clarity... A quake tears me from my slumber, I look to the north. Intense pain, drawn from my mind... From my view I see archaic stone emerged, illuminating the dusts of ancient earth. Our small village is drawn to the illumination, each dragging their feet. A woman's eye's gaze eternally affixed to the supplemented luminescence, confusion. I feel my own fixation onto the tower of strange aeons. In a rush of curiosity and forced amalgam, we strive to the center. Chaos. At the doorway we are lead in one after the next, lacking will toward this obscurity. Shadows ... What is this temple? The obelisk lies dormant at the center, casting it's strange crimson hue.. I stare into the center, dreams of trauma... years of torment soon beckon me to silence. The tears in my eyes are dry, but I notice a faint whimpering... I see the visions of my brain fluids seeping, a prelude of what's to come. I come to my senses, but it is too late. I see this cold, stone chamber filled to the walls with my kin. The large doors close and the illumination disperses. The screams of many others are soon echoing in my cerebral focus... Figures in shrouded hoods, What are they? The voice of the mother brain states in what I perceive is empathy. She sings songs of sonic anguish, now it is clear The hooded faces reveals tendrils and swarm where we stand Held down in menace, I awaken. As I watch my first born's skull bore out by writhing individual tendrils, imbued in.... SLIME I hear the sound of flesh rip, the smell of bone dust... my son's screams.... but as the echoes carry off... through this despair I find... solitude Memories of better days, now absorbed in chaotic writhing... I can't help but grin in madness Sickening voices once again cacophonous, felt as if this dream was my serenity Tentacular feasting spread throughout this hollow lit temple, but my focus is captivated my the beauty of the mother brain Her voice yet again supplies through telepathic means... I can feel I am next to die Have I lost all sense? tenebrous clouds of bone dust. Why am I not among the dead? I have hunger for my kin... I look down to see tentacles, flailing beneath my face... Their brains fluids, now oozing from my lips... i have become one of... them...

Sending transmission... I have arrived.. Desolation Emerge from my planetary vessel with coordinates set for this strange planet My body is stiff from prolonged space travel I don my suit equipped , with mining equipment Ammunition on my back and assault rifle in hand Temperatures absurd for human body There is no way for sustained life, outside development To obtain a sample of this crystallized ore and determine if this planet's resources is worth pursuing The entrance of the rock cave Caves of toxic spores I see the bones of lesser creatures scattered far but yet no readings of life An intense sweat falls in my suit from humid moisture Within ancient ruins I find indecipherable glyphs that seem to point to nowhere It is my mission to discover this ore.. Parasitic readings An idea not further perpetuated Within the core is a breeding facility of sinister forms Acid burns have melted holes through the ground I've slipped deeper into the chasm I've sustained damage but my body seems fine Darker, my visor emits a beam I see their "god" A tentacle wrapped around the statue of a winged serpent I approach closer the menacing monolith Examining the tentacle I see slime sliding off it It appears to be benign And small winged insects appear to be drawn to my light source But from the maw crawls a body of a humanoid... it's skin seems to be melted off It's not appearing in my visor's HUD detection I let out a burst of rounds and tear it apart Molten lava erupts from a vent beneath me, I dive to the side There is evidence of dread within the chaos An intense heat causes sweating Heading deeper At the core I've found the massive form in which the tentacle extended There is signs of strange monolithic forms Report: it has been more than two days... My suit's energy is depleting rapidly with no way to recharge Any longer and I will lose oxygen reserves The readings are close to none in this deep hole I cannot climb or find my way out Signal is faded... Energy transmissions are blocked by unknown interference Instead readings on my handheld read indeterminable threats?? But yet Something approaches rapidly My heart is racing Hands shaking I grab my weapon I hear scraping across the moist floor, profound liquid splatters It's form reptilian, making it's way through a labyrinth of darkness My light source's battery dims In haste i fire a barrage of bullets Reloading, I see no damage sustained It's scales deflecting each shot and I hear a screech I feel my suit torn open by large claw Fantasies of my wife's embrace Her voice slowly lulls me ... I see blood running down my eyes...5 Mission failed...
