(OOC: wow, that's weird. I had a post between DigitLninja and Cmpuncle, in which I described what came out of the orb.  It would seem Undercover saw that post and replied to it, but that post is now gone.  I have no idea where it went. re-posting it now wouldn't make much sense story wise. Undercover, since you saw the post, could you perhaps modify your post to provide more background to compensate for it? )
