‘"We never even dreamed that such an outcome could happen. It’s an absolute nightmare!” It was the voice of the head scientist dealing with the project involving 67B4, cracking nervously as she sent the message along the emergency line. “We thought that the testing chamber was secure enough to account for anything.

Melwani was usually good at keeping calm in the face of the unknown. She had seen a lot in her years as a scientist working on all forms of strange and wondrous inventions and discoveries. She loved the unknown and unexpected. However, this… this became something beyond what she was able to deal with in.

“I– I mean, it’s amazing that such a result could have happened. If the situation were less dire, I’d probably be beyond giddy. But… everything around me is being consumed.

A moment later, the scientist’s voice responded back, though it sounded… younger and childish?

“We’re all doomed! Mama will consume and convert us all into her loving embrace! We will all be one with her!”
