"Balkia", the cokio word for "numb fear" before it became Rosan.

-The Paleontologist grabs Edgar's hand, and makes a run for it to another part of the tent, the walls of boxes and papers getting narrower and narrower.-

"Edgar, you're a terrible liar! and it sounded like you were lying just now. but to be honest, if you're telling the truth, I don't blame you for sounding a little off put. there is something you need to know, and I'll tell you when we get to the bunker." The paleontologist says in a hurry.

"There's a bunker in here?"

"Yes but it's only used for an emergency like this. It happened once before, and since then, we avoided mining in certain places."

"Was that creature from the mine?"

"We don't know, but what we do know is that its kind fights the things IN the mine. That thing you saw in particular demonstrated extreme violent behavior towards miner's, on the east side of crate slorian. We took it as prisoner to study it."

"Was it one of the things that made me have no choice but to become a cyborg?"

-The paleontologist, visually and audibly shocked said, "how did you.. who told you that!? And,, no. it wasn't."

"I overheard you talking to Nick near the edge of the crate slorian at sundown. I heard everything."

"Well then, that gives me more time to round up people to bring in the bunker, sence you already know what I was going to talk to you about"

"Huh?"

-they both harshly squeezed through the last narrow path that led to the bunker. The paleontologist frantically rushes to open the hatch and pretty much shoved Edgar into the ground.-

"Edgar, wait here while I get the others! DON'T go anywhere outside the bunker. Keep the hatch closed, and DON'T open the door UNLESS you hear these sequence of sounds."
-The paleontologist gave Edgar a sticky note with a repeating sequence of dashes and dots.-

"short for quick bops, and long for pauses between the bops, Okay got to go bye!"

"Asher Wait!-"

- the paleontologist accidentally slams The Bunker door. a clicking noise came from the lock, assuming he just locked the door. But if he locked the door, then how could I open it for them?

The bunker was big, with smooth rounded corners, and made entirely out of metal that shined like titanium again.
The bunker was About 10 ft long and 7 ft wide. The bunker hatch was on the long side On a ceiling that only went up 6 ft.
There was a door on the opposite side of the bunker that looked like your standard metal door with glass windows. There was two of these doors on both of the long sides of the bunker.
The bunker hatch wall didn't have anything on it other than the ladder down to the bunker.

Dimly lit by Orange candlelight, Edgar couldn't really see anything. Edgar quickly shuffled to the far side of the bunker, Edgar wanted to go as far away from the hatch as possible, but close enough where the sequence of noises can be heard, even though it would probably be pointless if they were bang on the locked metal hatch.

Edgar opened the door which revealed a hallway deeper into the ground. also dimly lit by orange candlelight.-

"Who lights these candles? Who has the time to replace all these candles when they burn out?" Edgar said quietly, trying to figure out who lit them. "Maybe someone else is down here too? No, because before, there wasn't an emergency."
Edgar felt uneasy after asking these questions. Before Edgar could ask another question out loud quietly, something made a loud noise down the hallway, Like if somebody fell or something.
Edgar gripped the side of to the wall almost instinctively out of absolute fear.
Even after being so dim, Edgar could vaguely make out the silhouette of a humanoid figure at the end of the hallway.
"H-hello? A-Are you the one,, lighting the candles?...umm you... did a good job...but, I think we need a lighter brand."

The figure made a spark with what probably was a match, and lit a thick stick on fire. definitely a torch. This made more light echoing down the hall, making the creature very much visible.

It was none other than that thing from The dugout! more elegantly horrifying than ever.

Edgar was stuck in place, Frozen, not knowing what to do.
The creature slowly walked towards Edgar as Edgar helplessly was Froze in place.
Once the creature was face to face with Edgar, it took Edgar's hand and ran down the hallway the way Edgar was already walking, and at the end of the hallway, made a sharp right, into a small room.

Edgar did not know what the monster was trying to, do or say. The small dark room became probably the brightest room in the bunker due to the torch illuminating, what looks like a communications of some sort. Kind of like the Among us communications.

The beast put something in Edgar's hand. it was the shiny important thing! Edgar must have forgotten it.-

Edgar, really confused and surprised asked, "geez you scared me! what is this thing? Why do you want me to have it? And-"

The thing quickly covered Edgar's mouth with one finger, after hearing the hatch open.-

"Hay- mnmnm"

"Shhhh~"

"Wutf?"

-the monster puts its other hand behind his ear simulating it's trying to listen to something.-

"Wutf iff itf" says Edgar nervously.

-the monster proceeds to make silent hand motions communicating to Edgar a monster has entered.-

"Anoffher wone?!" Edgar says quietly but aggravated.

-The creature just rolls its eyes. Edgar didn't know if it rolled its eyes because it was a problem for it too, or if that was a racist comment towards it.
The creature uses hand motions that communicates to Edgar to stay quiet then takes his finger off Edgar's lips. It proceeded to seemingly cautiously walks out of the room.

Not even two moments after the door closed, violent fighting could be heard between the two monsters. Edgar peeped out of the windowthat, for some reason, had blinds, and wasn't a foggy window.

Watching in horror as the shit show goes down.

The other monster looked very much different. It sounded different to. almost like it's speaking in a foreign tongue, asking for something violently...
The two monsters tried to slash each other's throats! It seems thats they're only weak spot from this point of view seen in the dark.
Throwing hands, blood and stuff spewing all over the walls! I think? WEIRD TAN STUFF.
And not to mention, the repetition of certain words.-

"vou shni vic Nikow! vou shni vic Nikow bæsyl!!" the second monster screeched hysterically!

"Sandish may hamph! Vow yacckku notchnd ba pa, pawu! Limph yinde mawi de san ssan!!" It barks back.

The second monster, absolutely triggered slammed it fist into the wall, denting the metal. "Mookeouk kikan cank kaw wka wkkeie! Ne chando das do mawicca! Bæsyl.. naw, VOU SHNI VIC NIKOW!! NAW! Oarf too tuhy na put das wa cank de do,,, EFGAR!"

"wait did it say my name!?" Edgar thought out loud. "No, of course not. why... would it know my name."
