[ At once, you feel it: the ground underneath your feet begins to rumble as something awakens from its slumber. The walls tremble, and then—wherever you are, you're suddenly met with a glassy octohedron. From it come pulses of what sounds like a chorus of song, gospel-like in the harmony—and then abruptly it changes shape, opening itself up as it approaches you.

Is that . . . That's not friendly, is it. ]

[Who put Ozma here.]

My greetings, friend.

I'm not so sure that thing is our friend... [Literally every fiber of his being wants to either fight or run, but he doesn't want to screw things up for Lahabrea and Emet-Selch, so he waits nervously instead.]

[ yeah uh... well its song is certainly memorable, but the way it opens is perhaps a bit concerning.

stay, or run? ]

[It's probably a bad idea, but he'll stay where he is.]

[ You're caught—it swallows you whole, leaving you in a frozen state. You're vaguely aware of time passing, perhaps, but you can't move your body whatsoever; if you have corruptions, you can feel yourself burning up as though you were on fire.

Suddenly, it stops—that is, the pain stops. You're able to move again, just as you see a clear blue sky and . . . the ground rapidly approaching. ]

If that tries to swallow us take Alexander and run.

Alexa-- oh, Emet-Selch. I'll do what I can...

Perhaps preferably past that door. But in whatever way you can.

[ it doesn't seem to speak human language, just menacing chorus, and it opens itself up fully, like some enveloping geometric blossom.

stay/run? ]

[Look you know what. I get it. Menacing chorus. Fearful geometric shapes.]

I see. Are you angel or construct?

[He'll back away a step at least.]

[He keeps a respectable distance, but bows all the same.]

My thanks for greeting us. I'd like to have a word if it that is amicable to you.

[ It does not seem to speak human language. Or any tongue you know. Instead, it answers(?) with the language of menacing chorus... and then opens itself up to you fully, like some enveloping geometric blossom.

stay/run? ]

[He takes a step back gauging how fast it can move and putting out a long suffering sigh.

He tries to hold his hands out in the most non threatening gesture.]

Can you at least understand us?

[ No response, just the song—a rising chorus, surrounding you.

...And then you're surrounded by more than song. It swallows you whole, leaving you in a frozen state. You're vaguely aware of time passing, perhaps, but you can't move your body whatsoever; if you have corruptions, you can feel yourself burning up as though you were on fire.

Suddenly, it stops—that is, the pain stops. You're able to move again, just as you see a clear blue sky and . . . the ground rapidly approaching. ]
