((Shorter chapter.))
The door was rather abruptly shoved open, and Hunk burst into the room. If he was lucky, this thing would still be in some form of gargantuan test tube, and if he were even luckier it would still be dormant. But what were the odds of that? Never very high, considering the chaos that had overrun the rest of the comparatively tiny facility. The first thing Hunk could not help but notice was that, indeed, the room was pitch black. To the degree that when the door swung shut behind him, of its own natural accord, passive nightvision was absolutely useless. It required some minor degree of light to be present, and simply amplified it exponentially- but without any light at all, this proved to be feeble.
His mind raced, and the first idea to cross the finish line was to instantly dart out his left hand across his torso to the right side of the doorway, and seek a light switch. Hunk thought that perhaps Hunk was on God's good side today, because he found one immediately. But nothing, nobody, could have prepared him for what he found.
