Outdoor Research Facility Yard

Outside the Greenhouse

The narrow concrete apron before the greenhouse doors lies streaked with algae and soil tracked in from the automated harvesters. A single overhead sodium lamp hums against the evening gloom, its sickly orange glow illuminating the Krynoid’s massive head just visible above the reinforced glass panes. Banks of sensor pods mounted on rusted stanchions flicker amber as the alien’s biomass churns behind the transparent walls, stealing heat from the night. The air tastes of ozone and damp earth, carrying a rising sharpness as the creature’s sudden blinding flash tears across the facility’s outer courtyard. Henderson’s voice cracks through the sudden silence, the only sound fraying into the hum of distant engines and the creature’s wet laboring breaths.
