You find yourself within the North Sector of the LAMINAX facility, entering from the hallway connected to the crystal caverns. It takes you only a moment to realize that you've been followed. Glancing behind yourself, you hear them before you see them, a distinctive rattle that you trace to a shelf just behind you. In only a moment, they have dropped down in front of you, their tail rattling loudly as they bare their teeth. They speak, their voice sounding rough and intimidating, and ominously unnatural. "Hello."
