—Curious about the hole inside the crater, Takanuva takes action and hops down into the crater and slides down its slope to get closer to the center. He cautiously approaches the core of the impact, watchful for things that might jump him—
'If you fall seven times, stand up eight.' The cry of the Undead.[Lio]
Fishdude: Well, uh, it was like a week back. A little hard to believe, I know, but, well, I saw something from the sky. I thought it was a shooting star. Then it turned out to be a star! D:
(Beat.)
Fishdude: And then, it crashed into town. Pretty sure that killed like, several people. That's all I really...
(He thinks.)
Fishdude: Actually, I think I maybe saw somebody escape. They looked like a big guy, although their head looked like it was carrying another guy. And maybe it was just me but I could have sworn I saw something break out of the star, and burrow into the crater.
[Crater]
Ruspin: @Roy: It's under the fort. We're examining it, although provided things go well, we might try and send it over. @Quartz: Huge.
(There doesn't seem to be anything in the whole, although one could vaguely hear a scuttling noise of some sort.)
Naomi: So a big dude jumped out, but his head had another dude attached to it? And something burrowed into the crater?
-Not being near the hole, Six doesn't hear the scuttling-
"Seven is here too, dressed like the concept of choosing clothes that look nice together was an arcane secret far beyond their grasp."—Takanuva draws his light staff—
@Six: I thought I heard something beneath the earth. Usually that means it's something scuttling beneath our feet. Whether or not I'm right, we'll have to see.
@Roy: I wouldn't recommend agitating it though!
—He gives Roy a glare that says 'don't fire at the thing beneath us yet—

Fishperson: Well, more like a big glass dome of sorts for a head with something else inside it. Maybe kind of mechanical? And yeah, it looked like it had four legs or something. Burrowed inside the ground.
[Crater]
Valir: Well, there's ants and the like, but...
(And out from the hole comes some sort of mechanical limb, aiming at Roy with intent to kill.)

Naomi: Huh. Sounds like a robot somebody was driving.
And just to be clear, the robot is different from the four legged thing, ri-
-Hear the gunshots and immediately gets spooked-
-Six draws his rifle, but waits for the time being-
-as he isn't sure what that limb even is-
Six: HOLD FIRE, HOLD FIRE!

(Upon the limb being cut off, a very large, cylindrical machine of sorts, burrows away, and exits out of the ground, creating another hole. It's four, now three, legged, looks rather stone-like in spite of being rather mechanical, with the occasional sooper futuristic lines flaring on its body, and it has a robotic eye that moves along its body. Which glows... And then, fires a laser out of its eye. It barely misses Valir, whose Ushanka blows off.)
[Lio]
Fishdude: Yeah, the four legged thing is different, and also makes a sound like-
(And the laser that was heard in the crater is now heard.)
Fishdude: Yeah, like that!
(Beat.)
Fishdude: I'm gonna go cower in a corner. :D
(He does so.)
—Takanuva looks at the immense mechanical, and is impressed. It's nothing close to a Spire Whale or a Tahtorak, but it's an impressive Rahi nonetheless. But that could wait for another day. He looks at Six and then Valir—
@Six: I'll protect the Turaga—I mean Queen! You guys can handle the beast!
—Storing his light staff on his back, Takanuva sprints towards the Queen—
'If you fall seven times, stand up eight.' The cry of the Undead.Six: Well, shit. Can't we meet an alien in the field that's nice?
Weapons free, take it down!
-Starts shooting the thing-
-Meanwhile, Naomi manages to pull her proton carbine into her hands and fires a particle beam at the creature-

Quartz: -cautiously approaches the hole, seeming to be the only thing of interest, looking for debris or anything of the sort on his way there-
How big was thing?
