Three long beams of white light emerged from the chestpiece of the Explorers, and with it, they began to peer around the gloom. The eyes of the Explorers closely followed the path of their light, and their demeanor went grim when they noticed that the grounds were mostly empty, it was the first male Explorer who saw the cause and he shakenly pointed his hands towards it,
"Wha….what is that?"
The two others saw his reaction and pointed their light beam towards the source and they all went pale with fear, staggering backward and nearly falling off the platform.
At this time they were a few hundred feet away from the bottom of the crater since the descent of the platform was never paused and the light revealed something out of a nightmare.
From the last census conducted inside the crater, there were 11,347 Shiiks inside the crater, and from what they could see, every single Shiik had compressed themselves into a large ball of flesh that was stacked nearly a thousand feet tall.
