"We
examined the alien craft thoroughly, Indy, and what we found was very
disturbing," said Mr. Government Man.
"How
so?" asked Indy.
"Well,
the inside of the ship was covered with strange hieroglyphs, depicting cyclopean
masonry and horrific beings. Further,
the craft had no conventional power source, and instead seemed to derive its
energy from a strange, shining trapezohedron.
Around this crystal were strange references to what our linguists call
the 'Haunter of the Dark'. One scientist looked into it and became hypnotized, babbling
that it was 'a window into all time and space'.
Another became hysterical and tore his own eyeballs out, screeching all
along about the 'blackness'. It's
not natural," the man concluded.
Indy's
eyes had grown wide. He'd heard
tales of things like this, tales that even he had not believed and prayed could
not be true. It dredged up memories
of a race of alien-things living in the Himalayas, the Mi-Go.
He'd once perused the abhorred Necronomicon,
secured deep in a hidden vault at the Vatican, and some of the insane babblings
of the author of that tome, a mad Arab, seemed to ring true in what Indy was
being told.
"Gentlemen...I'll
need a close inspection of this craft to confirm my hunch.
But if what I'm thinking is true, we could be on the virge of something
truly primal and truly horrible. And
the safety of our Earth and the human race may become the least of our
concerns..."
Palpatine
reached out with the force and felt a strange object...it was out of the Vindicator's
sensor range, but the force has no such limitations.
He knew the rebel scum had found some would-be saviors.
It was now time for these new players to learn the folly of defying the
Empire.
As
he continued to assess this new enemy, he suddenly realized that he'd felt them
before. At the Gigantuan-Mega-Fuck-Huge-Omni-Battle
for the Continuum!! (remember, the Empire was there, right?) Perhaps there was a
way he could use this new situation to his advantage.
Before launching the full might of the Vindicator's
weapons, he sat meditating, allowing the force to permeate him and show him the
future...
