[?] You take a closer look at one of the Burial Chambers. Inside is a glass sarcophagus with a pretty intact body. Apparently back in the time they knew how to keep those bodies fresh. Inside is somebody in a parade uniform from his badges you guess that he had some middling rank in the Navy. But far more interesting is the weapon he glasps with his hands a gun of a worksmanship you have never seen. Without hesitation you break the glass with your elbow and grab for the gun only to badly freeze your fingers on the extremly cold metal. So those bodies have been artifically cooled. You wrap a piece of cloth around your hands and fish again for the weapon, but the clasp of the dead man's hands is strong and as you take another strong pull the weapon comes out with some frozen fingers attached. But before you can bask at your loot, something changes. Alerts begin to blare in the Chamber and one of the walls, which seemed to be of stone, moves apart to reveal a screen and a speaker.
Warning, Damage detected in Stasis Chamber 3345D. Reactivating Main Routine.
Suddenly you can hear the hum of restarting machinery coming from outside, the room and the hallway, barely lit before suddenly are flooded with light.
Main Routine Reactivated. Starting...done.
you hear clicks behind the other Stone Wall which then suddenly moves apart too: revealing a creature you have never seen before. It strangely has a lot commonality with the mutants you have faced up to now. The knee high insectoid Creature in its black cloak ignores you and instead moves towards the Sarcophagus on which it climbs and starts to examine the hole you've broke into the glass. It starts chirping with a voice similiar to a fax machine and suddenly ceases to move.
Instead the strangely grave like voice can be heard again.
Report recieved. Damage intentional. Scanning Burial Chamber...done. Detecting One Unkown Biosign: Human.
then suddenly the revealed screen activates and shows another Faceless Hooded Figure.
Activating Communications and Personality Subroutines...done. Greetings Visitor. Are you here to destroy this facility too?
the Hooded Figure in the Screen seems to know where you are and stares directly at you. It's voice sounding like Teeth grinding on each other has a deep tinge of sadness to it.
