What on earth is going on?[/color]” 5 lights blinked on, briefly illuminating the inside of a small exit hole before flickering out due to lack of power. Grumbling and the sound of a visor being slid out of the way was heard before a small humanoid figure nervously poked their head out of the hole, located halfway up a cliff face. The creature had two massive eyes, framed by a black helmet, a leith frame, pale skin the color of ice or moonrock which on her limbs was decorated with dark patterns, in the center of her chest was her gem, white with black markings surrounded by a ring shaped device. Straps connected to this device wrapped round her chest leading to a metallic contraption attached to their back. She wore white gloves, knee length shorts and a pair of small boots. Her hair, shifting as if alive and pulsing with electrical signals dangled down out of her helmet in a braid, ending in a second ring device, this one was loaded with data storage and communication devices scavenged 100 years ago from the kindergarten’s surviving systems. The first thing Howlite noticed upon looking outside was that the sky was missing. According to the date time system she had set up it should be light out and yet it was pitch black in the kindergarten, only a solitary dull red glow way off in the distance coming from an exposed service tunnel. Fortunately her large sensitive eyes where for once proving to be useful, letting her see better than most in the incredibly dim light revealing what had happened to the canyon, a great mass had been built over the top of it, burying the kindergarten beneath it’s oppressive bulk. Criss crossing the canyon where support columns reaching up towards the smothering mass above and stopping it from crashing down on top of her. The 100 year old gem hopped down from the hole, dropping a fair distance before landing on the ground neatly and setting off towards the light, mentally parsing through the data from the systems she had scavenged and the tech level scanner. The second was a device she had made to monitor humanity's technological progress and had left outside, hidden away on a nearby mountaintop but unbeknownst to her it had been discovered by some mountain climbers and currently resided in the Crystalisis Art Museum as an example of ancient sculpture. Unbenounced to her the device was much better at it’s job than she had anticipated, successfully detecting the various gemcraft that had visited earth, including the one currently inspecting the city. “[color=A7E6EC]Right so the humans have electricity, which is good and maybe gemtech, which seems a ridiculous pace of development. Also some of that tech exploded? I guess all that seismic activity was the construction of whatever that structure up there is. Also there's other gems emerging? Is that happening here?[/color]” She muttered, still trying to understand what was happening with the limited data she had. Then, deciding to see if she could get an answer to her last question called out. “[color=A7E6EC]Um, HELLO? IS THERE ANYONE OUT THERE?[/color]”
