In the bowels of the derelict ship, something stirred in response to the sudden impact that rocked the ship. The ancient machinery that has guarded the ship for uncountable years detects intruders. Oblivious to the state of the ship, it awakens an old guardian.<br/><br/>A cilinder in a dark storage room springs to life. It contains a bubbling black substance of some kind. For a moment, nothing happens, and then, the substance begins bubbling violently. The Cilinder suddendly slided open, spilling the contents on the cold metal floor.<br/><br/>The black mass, stirring violently, wrought itself into a more purposeful shape. The ancinet creature, hailing from time immemorial, had awakened. His name, designated by his enigmatic master, was Gor-Mathavelus Kervar His purpose was simple, he needed but to restrain intruders until his masters would come. Finally, it had taken a shape more accustomed to actually moving around. It was but a black mass that moved by strectching forward and retracting in that manner too, not unlike a caterpillars manner of locomotion.<br/><br/>Gor needed not inspect any security cameras or anysuch to know where he needed to go. Its sleep had been broken by a dream that had told him this already. It was a way for their masters to quicken the deployment of them and their kin.. And thus, the lumbering creature slowly plowed through the halls of the ancient ship. Still oblivious to the state of the vessel.<br/><br/>From a distance, the creature's movement would sound like a wet squelching, slowly drawing closer. It wasn't long until Gor's targers were located. He had patrolled the general area of the intrusion for a few short moments, and he finally sensed a heat source that was out of the ordinary when he rounded another corner of the labyrinthine hallways.<br/><br/>The creature paused its movement for a short moment. Something formed beneath the surface of its protooplasmic form, and then, a single unblinking eye sprang forth. It stared at the intruders as the rest of its monstrous form Compressed itself, ready to lurch at the intruders and engulf them in their protoplasmic form.
