Mk III Battlesphere
After falling from the clouds, this gargantuan metal construct was explored by Tandem Vindicus, this is what they discovered:
The sphere's internal structure is made of tight hallways illuminated with strips of blue light in the floor, these hallways connect to many rooms, each with their own purpose. The sliding doors house a blue energy field that burns to the touch, this field is semi-transparent and prevents water, sound, and air from passing through unless forced. Wall panels can be forcibly removed revealing pipes of flowing blue liquid.
The sphere is maintained by small mechanical and crystalline spiders that recycle unnecessary materials from the sphere to repair broken infrastructure. These spiders will defend the sphere from intrusion by releasing a stunning shock blast at close range. There are dedicated rooms housing charging stations for these spiders.
A laboratory becomes a macabre managerie of corpses as a swarm of diminutive spider-like constructs take humanoid form and experiment on the bodies of humans by dissecting their limbs and what seems to be gathering an understanding of our internal biology.
A tube of light similar to that of the doors contains millions of these diminutive spiders as they travel to unknown levels of this structure. This cylinder disintegrates organic matter that comes into contact with it.
An ensign from Ohlsbach is found hiding onboard, the man is in shock and shows signs of insanity and terror. This man died to a spider exiting from his eye socket, seemingly tearing his brain apart from the inside. The back of his head is shaved and previous incisions are stitched up.
The blue liquid that seems to power this machine can combine with mechanical parts to form physical bodies and weapons which act as guards. There seems to be a race of these beings known as Kithorians, possibly from pre-history.
A central domed control room has walls oozing with this liquid as hundreds of varying pipes create highways of traffic throughout this chamber. An artificial intelligence is made contact within this chamber, a female voice explains it's the sphere. Communing with the sphere reveals that it was created as a weapons system for combat tests. It comes from a mechanical city that floats above the clouds, this city moves across the skies. The city is run by The Creator, a figure the battlesphere describes as a father or a god. The Creator is in possession of the Shard, an artefact sought by many. The Time Dragon Ninuron is also a prisoner to this City.
Once the conversation was over the sphere took defensive countermeasures as the blue ooze took a large female humanoid form wielding two arcane hand-cannons the size of ship's cannons. The group Tandem Vindicus battled her and won, with her death the sphere began to crumble and implode, water rushed inside, Tandem Vindicus barely making it out with their lives. As the sphere crushes into its own weight a cloud of the once blue, now black, ooze excretes from the anomaly polluting the harbour of Keystone.
