“You sure this is the spot, doc?”
“Gotta be, the coordinates line up. Let’s look around.”
(There’s static, and the sound of shuffling feet. The picture is a hazy blur.)
“Doc, think I found something.”
(The sound of a surprised whistle.)
“Uncut emerald, and a big chunk of it. I’ll bet there’s some condensed nuggets ‘round here too.”
(There’s some more shuffling. The camera cuts upward, looking across some sort of expanse. There’s a hesitant draw of breath as the camera stills on the horizon.)
“Say, I coulda sworn I saw that rock move.”
“Hm?”
“Yeah, that rock over there. Hard to see, might actually be condensed dark energy.”
(The sound of rumbling.)
“...You hear that, doc?”
“...It couldn't be...”
(The rumbling peaks, the camera showing a black metallic beast locking like a spring coil, before snapping forward. The camera drops, rolling on the ground.)
“AHH!”
(Frantic screams are cut off by dread-filled static.)
