The old man turned hesitantly towards the object, and took a couple more steps towards it. Silent seconds passed by.

The gaunt man stood in place, staring at the black growth.

"D-1005, move away from the object."

"No." The weary man declared, fearful but steadfast.

"D-1005, step back."

He shouted incomprehensibly, echoing throughout the room, as he ran across the rusted chamber towards the blackened fleshy orb. The D-class disappeared into its dark orifice. The shouting stopped. The scientists stood and watched from the window, wordless.
