[color=ed145b]"That did not sound good."[/color] The entire A section of the Research Deck's power just went off suddenly before it quickly switched back on. Before that was the alarm raised for all research personnel to evacuate from the third level of the Cerberus Gate. The elf, finding himself right next to the Cosmos Strider, initially thought to get his weapons first only to have his knife-ears droop at the sudden realization that all his armaments were submitted to a security clearance in the upper levels. [color=ed145b]"It seems The One wishes me to challenge myself in the face of this danger."[/color] He held his hand out to a nearby supply closet in which he activates one of his many Exalted powers, [b]Air Vacuum[/b]. With a [i]whoosh,[/i] the doors blast open and a short-range vocal communicator came flying toward his open hand, grasping its plastic and holding it to his mouth. [color=ed145b][b]"This is Altari Somnus of Research Team A, is anyone still in this section of Level 3?"[/b][/color] Static, almost nothing. He tries again but all he would hear are screams and steps. He hopes that his research co-worker he talked with earlier wasn't caught up in all of it. With a sigh, the elf would have to depend on his powers in hopes of getting out of the Research Labs alive. [color=ed145b]"Guess I'm on my own."[/color]

Altari would continuously try to contact his superior on the level he was in. The Cerberus Gate is a big ship and what a day to start off with. Treading slowly through the halls hoping to not get shot by the Security Team that might be probably sweeping in sometime soon or doing one of those formations that they love so much eventually he came across a security room which was empty, one of the screens left open and with one of the chairs still spinning about. [color=ed145b]"I guess security's handling it... hope they don't mind I take a little peek in the...re..."[/color] Utter shock came about his face as he studied the bloody scene before him. An entire laboratory deck was massacred... bodies, organs, flesh, skin, blood, and whatever gross matter is strewn across the steel walls and floors as well as the screens of the many tables and computers that are somewhat still active. While this did not bother the elf much like humans do, this did cause a small stir in his stomach... to think there was someone or something on this ship that's able to do this... he began to worry about the security guards that left their posts. He continued to study the situation and noticed the containment capsule was open. The video feed did not show how "it" got out but whatever "it" did... Altari would deem it hostile for the time being. [color=ed145b]"A live demon."[/color] He declares before shaking his head. [color=ed145b]"I need my equipment if I want to defend myself."[/color] He steps away from the room and began treading slowly towards the upper levels, still attempting to contact Dr. X9 with the short-range comms. [color=ed145b][b]"Ma'am? Madam Fibra Ops? Madam come in, is anyone still out there?[/b][/color] He only hopes that whatever is lurking around isn't so fast that it would just come up into his face. Elf would start running the other way should such a situation arise.
