<Snipped quote by Audacious>
*Inside the room lies a massive set of metal doors large enough for a spacecraft to enter, alongside a captain's chair interface; in the center of the wall we entered from, connected to the melted device, is a pod large enough to store an adult humanoid, with tiny flexible tubes of energy attached to the pod that lead to the tanks above*
Why does this space scream “alien” more than everything else?
*Slowly walks toward the central chair, turning around to look behind us, manifesting a wall of glowing plasma in the air of the path we took to get here*
