His eyes flicked over the readings of Spiral Life illuminated on the device in hand. Gold fields, flecked with faint verdant, surveyed the data and even after re-examination, they settled upon what reflected an anomalous reading.
There were a handful of reasons for such a finding; the first being error. Spiral Energy tended to fluctuate in moments of great joy and great tribulation, and analyzing a steady source of that power could be interrupted if the subject was experiencing some transformative experience. Experts in spiral sciences had already assured that a mis-reading was not the cause of the appearance of a Spiral Anomaly.
The most appealing cause of an anomalous result was simply that they had never encountered a specific form of life, before. The Spiral Archives, as provided by the Chouginga Daigurren, stored knowledge spanning across thousands of years, worlds, and discoveries -- but even in that generous pool, there was still room to add further entries. It was that prospect that bit Viral to investigate, personally.
The trouble came swiftly, after that. As he neared the source of the unfamiliar reading, a wave of malfunctions and distorted calibration assailed his loaned Grapearl unit. A crash-landing was assured, and Viral made quick preparations. The Beastman would survive, of course. But he scoffed at the bad luck of the mass-produced Ganmen being susceptible to the undetected, unpredictable field of energy. He would make a mental note to have minds more expert than his, examine and analyze the cause of the malfunction.
Viral climbed from the wreckage; the unit could be recovered and repaired - but he had chosen to sacrifice the Ganmen in order to slow its descent and cause as little damage in its landing as possible. A clawed, gloved hand touched onto the dislocated metal in apology, as he turned towards the still-flickering reading of unrecognized energy. The arrival had been... less smooth than anticipated, but he still had a mission to complete. With a newfound appreciation for the unexpected, he headed towards what would be someone’s domicile...
The blond stared with avid curiosity.
He couldn’t say what he had thought to find at the end of his search, but it hadn’t been a little dwelling in the middle of nowhere. Viral approached with care, his senses on high alert.
❝Is... anyone there? My transport took a bad turn, and... well, I’ll make restitution for the damages from the crash. I’m here on peaceable terms, if you can spare a minute or so to talk.❞
