Alice watched in silence, almost holding her breath as she watched the creatures going for the cadaver. While it did seem that the ethereal field they were maintaining was a bit of an exaggeration, judging by how the carrion feeder creatures so eagerly went towards the corpse, it was still a good backup plan in case [i]something[/i] went wrong. Two of the worm like creatures sliced through the corpse making droplets of a foul, black, oozy fluid splatter towards Echo and Kleo, making the team's equipment warn them of the rising qillatu readings.

Still keeping silent, Alice turned towards Kleo, signaling for her to be at ease and not make any sudden moves or react in a way that could attract the attention of the creatures that were with them in the room.

[color=8882be]"While both creatures seem to be carrion-feeders like Ilshar mentioned, it is better to try and avoid their attention, especially now that you and Echo are covered in something they would probably like to feed on..."[/color] Alice whispered, not trying to make Kleo panic but still being honest.

Whether it was attracted by the ethereal bait they put, the cadaver or the shovel-skulled worms, the other creature finally showed itself. A grotesque spherical mass of worms, pulsating and sloshing as it entered the room clad in a strange pink smoke. Carrion feeder or not, this one seemed to be much more dangerous than the worms, a thought that was quickly confirmed by their equipment, which began to alert them the very moment the spherical mass entered the room.

Fortunately, the shovel-skulled worms, which were now in a full freeding frenzy on the corpse they sliced through earlier, drew the attention of the newly arrived mass of worms...

In just a few seconds, all hell broke loose inside the room they were in, starting with an explosion of power coming from the spherical mass of worms, which seemed to be either competing with the shovel-skulled worms for the cadavers or outright attacking them. Regardless of the reason, both creatures began attacking each other. The powerful bursts of power coming from the spherical mass was enough to make the room itself protest and the remaining emergency systems to activate, starting a lockdown.

Before they could react, another shockwave of power coming from the pinkish mass of worms shook the room, sending both the shovel-skulled worm that was attacking flying away and throwing debris all around the room, threatening hitting the Envenomed themselves. 

[color=8882be]"We need to go, now!"[/color] Alice said in an alarmed tone, cowering to protect herself from the shockwave and the flying debris it sent out.

The time for subtlety was now over. The sounds and ethereal spikes from the two creatures fighting would certainly attract many other things that could be hiding through the abandoned station. In addition, the doors were slowly closing and getting trapped inside the room would be risking not only getting caught in the crossfire as the two creatures fought, but being vulnerable to whichever one of them remained in the end...

[color=8882be]"The two creatures are too busy fighting each other to care about us. We need to leave NOW."[/color] Alice urged as she pointed towards the closing door.
