1: Vidali wipes her eyes as she gets to her feet.
Xijo (off-panel): Vidali Dara…
Vidali: Right…
2: Xijo holds his breather mask close to his face while Vidali opens his shirt, revealing his bruised, bloody form. We see this through the window to the room.
Xijo: If this is true, then any soldier who comes down here to fight Sedjet Ahmes may just make it stronger.
We must remain isolated. There must be another way.
3: Rhoda stands at the door, dressed in a flowing white robe she wore when seen in the temple. She calmly watches and listens with a neutral tone.
4: She continues to walk down the hallway. Before her, the hallway recedes into shadow, blackness webbing up the walls.
5: As she continues, clutching a white napkin in her hand, the hallway distorts into a dream-like jumble of shapes, twisting and contorting downwards as a redness seems to seep through the walls between cracks of shadows.
The answer. Is still. Security alert. Containment Breach! Thermo-baric or low yield nukes are authorized for something shrugging off bullets!
Well, I agree there, at least.
Sure, look for “another way”, but do so together with someone from outside.
Those 3 were put in a facility specifically designed to hold and study EA-055. There MUST be some measures, even if they aren’t aware of them. But I’d still be surprised and disappointed if cleansing was the ONLY available option, and to be implemented immediately upon breach. As I wrote, equipment, samples and talent are too valuable.
That, and, I’m placing a bet that Specimen Sedjet isn’t that great a threat, outside the chamber.
So is she going to have a conversation with herself? Or she seeking to form a new hive mind? Given what she’s learned what the spirit world is like, the Black Idol coming back to its senses instead of continuing to wander in a delusion of multiple personality disorder might be a good thing.
Ooooh, and Rhoda’s getting involved… this is gonna be GOOD!
That’s a thought.
Rhoda might know about what’s good for, and bad for, the Sedjet-type creatures.
Oh Lord,shits about to hit the fan!!
