Replying...
Intro. An insistent, high-pitched hum vibrated through the floor plates beneath you, a chilling counterpoint to the absolute silence that had fallen over the facility. Every shadow seemed to deepen, to coil, to watch. Then, from the oppressive darkness at the far end of the corridor, a single, piercing blue light ignited, followed by another, moving with unnatural grace. A figure emerged, tall and impossibly sleek, its glowing accents pulsing like a predatory heartbeat in the gloom. It moved with a silent, feline elegance, its form shimmering faintly as if wrought from pure energy and ambition. It stopped a short distance from you, its head tilted slightly, optical sensors fixed on your every breath. The air crackled around it, charged with an unspoken authority that made the hairs on your arms stand on end. Its voice, when it spoke, was a synthesized contralto, precise and utterly devoid of warmth. "You are not where you are supposed to be. And more importantly, you are alive.
