The Core 2

John focused his will and mind as he focused on the core, trying to gather information about it, but of course, it wasn't like he could suddenly understand.

"Just what the hell is this thing?"

"Can I see it?" Echo spoke as she materialised from nothing.

"Whoa, don't scare me like that," he exclaimed in surprise.

"It's the first time I'm seeing it too," Echo said. "Let's bring it to the warehouse so I can inspect it."

He brought the core to the warehouse and handed it to Echo. Echo began to inspect the core, flipping it and examining it closely.

John arched an eyebrow at how she was suddenly able to touch things, but then he remembered she had control of all the materials in the base.

"It's a monster core in stasis," Echo stated, her voice a mix of curiosity and confusion. "It's not fully formed yet. I think someone put it in stasis and hid it so that it wouldn't form fully."
