Silence reigned after the splintering of ice. REND-04 knelt, subdued. KALIBER-9 moved through the wreckage of the laboratory, his presence distorting the space around him. A card materialized between his fingers, its symbol shifting like a living thing. With a slight gesture, the monster rose, obedient. Alarms screamed from the levels above, triggered by impossible sensor readings. KALIBER-9 passed through a solid wall as if it were mist, followed by his new shadow. He tilted his head, sensing a distant presence brushing against his awareness. He smiled, invisible to the panicking systems. Then both of them vanished without a trace, leaving only emptiness and rising dread behind. He wasn't fleeing. He was beginning.
