St. Cyrill shook his head. "We don't know if there's a need for force yet. I would opt for the other route."
The being scoffed. "You must be monkeys to have not heard of the great Celeste Empire. We - " It let out a cough.
"This being's energy is disrupting me," it said, although it had no worry in its voice. "This is displeasing. My mission will be in jeopardy if this continues. Set me free, monkeys, or you will be destroyed."

"If we're going to do that, let's just make a break for it, I'm not going to leave you behind. Or we could just talk to them, how's that?" McMullard suggested, throwing his arms up.

Madeline was at a loss. She looked over to the other people in the room, but they remained silent - probably out of shock. I guess I got chosen representative? "Unfortunately, I don't know how to free you. I'm sorry. However, I may be able to help with your mission. Would you mind telling me what you need to do?"

"We can do whatever you want to do," St. Cyrill said tiredly. "Just make a plan here."
Kurtis' slack mouth didn't move, which was creepy since the voice was still talking from it.
"Help me with my mission? Ha! Fool.
"There are others of my type in this room. Why are they not proceeding with their mission? What have you done with them?"

Madeline looked over at Connor in confusion. Other types? What other--oh... She remembered Connor saying something about the two other people in the room having been infected with the substance. Well...it poses a good question. What has happened to them? She couldn't answer - she waited for one of the other men (probably Connor since he was the only one to really speak) to begin speaking to the creature.

Connor slid in. "Yes, it is true that two of our friends have come in contact with organisms like yourself. Can you tell us anything about why you are here?"
The being laughed derisively. "We are the Planet-Eating Archons of the Celeste Empire. We are here to do what we were created for. Your planet is to be devoured for the expansion of our empire."
Connor was silent.

Well okay. I wasn't expecting that. It was starting to turn into something completely different. "Is there a certain time limit you have to devour our planet?"

"There is an - "
There was a sound curiously like static.
"This cursed being! What is this energy? I need to get out of this thing! One of you monkeys! Fellow archons! Release me!"

"What all do you see out there, before I make a decision?" McMullard asked. He could make a teleport... perhaps he could even do it through the wall. No reason he couldn't. That'd be perfect.

St. Cyrill looked through his monocular. "Looks like...we got five guards outside. One in each cardinal direction, and one in that tower."
Indeed, from their position on a slight ridge, it was possible to make out what St. Cyrill said. There was a tower off to one side of the facility, and a guard was up there. The fence was about twenty yards from the walls of the facility; too far to teleport from outside the fence.

Madeline was once again surprised, however, she did not opt to help it. Not that I even know how to. She looked at the other two people who were infected. She wondered if they (or the organisms within them) would respond to the creatures words.

Tiki sniffed a bit and looked around, bored by the haughty Archon, and Xander was busily staring at nothing.
No answer from their symbiotes, then.
The being in Kurtis sighed. "It appears that I cannot maintain outward connection any longer. If I return, and you have not begun preparations to free me, then I shall destroy you all."
Then it was gone. A few minutes later, Kurtis' eyes fluttered a bit.

"Ugh... my head.... Did you get that s**t off me?" he asked, forcing himself to a sitting position. He saw their faces and immediately knew the answer. "Well, s**t," he groaned, feeling his back in vain. He seemed much more resigned than before.

No one seemed eager to inform Kurtis of exactly what they had learned.
"We need to get out of here," Connor said, rather urgently. "It won't be long until they find us."
Tiki nodded and gestured for Alaric to pop the door.

"Well, we've got to get in somehow... We could try that distraction, as long as y'don't get yourself shot," McMullard grunted, still trying to decide what to do here.
