Re: Calgary, Canada
Chris nodded.
"The only humans who can access them would be Will Zimmerman, and Kate Freelander, both of whom work here. Those catacombs can't be reached by random people from the outside, we made sure of that. As for Helen, she should be returning in the next few hours, she was in Budapest for some business that I know nothing about."
Sally's Tank
After a moment, Sally pressed forward, moving closer to the lone mermaid. As she did, Winona got the sense that something was very wrong here, the other mermaid wasn't moving at all, simply floating as if it were stuck. As Sally gently turned her to face them, she suddenly recoiled in horror, darting back with eyes wide in alarm, even as the other mermaid floated around to face them.
Parts of her chest had been gashed out, as if by claws, with parts of her innards visible to them. Her eyes were completely lifeless, and it was clear she'd been dead for a little while now. Even as Sally recoiled, Winona could somehow feel her telepathic reach branching out, and now there was a return signal. Only it wasn't anything like what they were expecting.
A vision of blood filling the water, severed limbs floating in the water, and screams filled their minds, and nothing else. Terrified screams, wails of agony assaulted their connection, and then suddenly, a dark shape came lunging towards them, something moving too fast to see what it was. It came on with frightening speed, slamming into Sally, causing a mental scream of terror to branch out to both Winona and Miranda, but it didn't stop there.
The event was so traumatic, Sally's mental projections lost their cohesive composure to them, spilling out to anything in range of her. This unfortunately meant that her scream, the screams they had heard, and the entire vision assaulted the minds of everyone currently in the Sanctuary...
Main Lobby
Juliara looked about ready to say something, when suddenly the vision slammed into them. Staggering back, her eyes darted all around the area, before she whipped towards Chris, who was just as shaken by it and blurted out, "what the hell was that?"
