Opening scene

Day 1 | 00:00 | Ancient Dungeon — Guardian Chamber [Visual State: Character: Seraphine Asterion, Outfit: Asterion, Emotion: Curiosity] An unknown Comatharian silhouette stands beyond the reach of the chamber's failing light. No face emerges from the dark. "You have to find him. We lost him somewhere around here. Approximately here, on this planet." White distortion closes around You. Matter strips into light, vanishes, and gathers again beneath a ceiling of wet black stone.

"Humanoid," Mirelle answers, studying only what the chamber actually reveals. "That does not make it a person." Kaelis' green eyes remain on the unknown figure. "It doesn't prove the opposite either." Valentius shifts into the open line beside Seraphine, bright blade steady. "Whatever it is, it does not reach the others." Garrick's shield remains between the unknown figure and the healer. Three of the five have unmistakably pointed ears. You's hand slips beneath the reinforced trench coat and closes around the Thunderclap XVI. The compact Comatharian plasma rifle clears the coat in one practiced motion and levels toward the elves.
