As Arckal and his guest rode through the station, he could see the pulsing of the walls behind. The area ahead seemed safe, but still... he was worried. What if he couldn't outrun these things? What if they were everywhere. For the first time in a while, he was actually worried that he wouldn’t get through in one piece. But he couldn't show it.
"Well?"
With a scowl, the woman looked aside. With a hard sigh she spoke.

"Let's start with something simple, what's your name?"
"I'm Dr. Nyoka Saffin. I am or... rather was the head scientist in charge of this facility."
"Hello Dr. Saffin, the name's Arckal Stitch." After a pause he continued, "I've noticed you have a blobby sort of problem."
"Yes... those... things are certainly a problem. They began to appear a few days ago. They spread like wild fire. I don't know how many of my colleagues are left."
Just as he was about to respond, Arckal felt an odd sensation. He grunted as Ka's message reached his mind.
<I've discovered that this blob has a weak point, a command center. I'll search the laboratory for it and destroy it, you keep subduing the beast.>
"Did you hear that?"
"Hear what?"
"Never mind then. So you're probably the last one left huh? Do you know if anything can take these things down?"
"I.. I don't know, I've never seen anything like them. I might be able to figure them out if I could study one, but that wou-"
Arkcal smirked. "Alright."
"Alright what?"
"Alright, you are going to study one. Just tell me what you need and I'll get it in a jiffy."
Nyoka looked blankly at Arckal. She could not believe this. He had seen how large the monsters were, how could act so casual about this. She couldn't comprehend this. Where did he even come from? As she tried to make sense of the entire situation, him appearing, riding on a motorcycle, acting so calm, it was all just... absurd.
Her thoughts on the matter were unfortunately cut short, as she felt something hit her back. When it didn't slide off or move, she panicked.
In any normal situation, a panicking person riding on the same motorcycle as him would be a good reason to attempt to calm the person down. However, as he looked into the rear-view mirror, Arckal realized that the hysteric dame was the least of his worries.
This was because, right behind them, there was a pitch black humanoid, on a motorcycle of his own, riding close behind.</font>
