Shalgoth

I froze at the words, but it was the strange, very American voice that bothered me. My scans would be able to tell if there was another human up ahead, but there was only the unknown creature's signature.

"I am a human," I called.

"If you are a human, then so am I."

I walked forward until I reached the central area that should have had a desk in it and many other things, but that was all crushed and covered in black veins. In the center of the room was a figure cloaked in darkness.

Immediately, I ran a scan over it, but nothing came up. I mean, I got the scan read, but everything about this thing was unknown.

"You don't look like any human I have seen," I said to the figure, and solid yellow round eyes opened, and it smiled with razor-sharp white teeth. There was something under that darkness.
