Terrible creatures once locked away by the ancestors of our people, deep inside Varak.” The hologram shifts, now showing the planet the moon orbits, but in a much more complete state… for only a few short moments, as cracks on the surface show. And… something pops out of each crack, these… you’d guess “techno-organic”-looking creatures, each letting out blasts of energy across the planet. It almost looks like a war breaks out between the inhabitants of the world and these monsters. Finally, a number of noticeably larger ones break out of the planet… causing the massive rift you’d seen on approach.
“That’s… awful. Didn’t anyone try to stop those two before these monsters were unleashed?” you ask. Getting some major flashbacks to the likes of Gero and Baby at this point...
“Once it was clear what the mad scientist wanted to do, there were attempts, but it was too little, too late. The most that could be done was notifying the Space Police and all worlds within reach that such terrors were free… and in the case of many, pray that the Kais and other Gods had a way to stop them.” Rabaht looks up. “You encountered none of them as you approached this world, correct?”
“None whatsoever.” you confirm.
“Perhaps those prayers were answered.” he says in a tone that almost sounds hopeful.
The two of you reach the group, a number of sympathetic looks on the faces of a few people. Irico approaches first, giving a salute. “Everything came over loud and clear, sir. I… am sorry about what happened to your world.”
“Do you believe it is still inhabited?” Kikono questions, approaching next. “That, in spite of the devastation, there are still significant populations like… yourself, on your world?”
“It is entirely possible. I cannot give any solid numbers on remaining populations, but it would not surprise me if many were able to survive the initial onslaught, even three Stellar Cycles after the cataclysm.” Rabaht states solemnly.
“Hm… so much for this being a simple surveying mission…” Kikono sighs.
>A. We were able to detect a number of large energy signatures still on Varak. It might be them… but it also might be something less pleasant>B. Okay, you’ve mentioned Kais and Gods, you’re aware of Majins, what exactly do you know about them? And how might these Astrabellua differ?>C. You’re not alone HERE though, right? There have to be others on this moon like you. Maybe you can contact some of them?>D. Gotta let ‘em know the other reason why you came here. Tell ‘em about the Machine Mutants>E. Something else?
