Turn on Headlamp

The most intimidating thing about space is the silence. It is unlike that of the surface where everything has a particular sound. From boiling water to the whistle of a kettle on the range it was at least comforting. Unfortunately, you have to rely on your sight and EVO systems here in space.

You tap the switch on the helmet of your EVO as a bright and powerful light basks the darkness. It reveals a gangling humanoid simply floating just in front of you. Its vague humanoid form has a slender frame with long spindly limbs with what appears to be a pair of arms and a gnarling mess of tendrils for legs. The flesh pales in the light and the head of the creature lacks any indications of eyes.

In the depths of space it somehow screeches causing your headlamp to flicker and dim.

"The light must go!" shouts a voice seemingly within the confines of your own skull, "Banish the light! Take it away!"

The haunting words send a chill down your spine as you try to scramble back from the creature. Its movement becomes erratic and unpredictable as you try to focus your dimming headlamp at it which appears to keep it from getting too close. The EVO systems chime with an alert showing the imminent failure of the headlamp.
