As the new day arises, you head to Yellowback Lake, not sure what to expect, but you brace yourself for the worst. Knowing how the Stalkers behave, you highly doubt Meela-Tey perished in peace...
When you first arrive at the lake, it takes you some time to locate the body, but when you do, you find the Armaldo lying face down in the mud just along the bank. Her plated body is wet and slathered with what looks and smells like mustard-colored bile. It causes you to gag a bit, making you have to back away and keep a few feet of distance.
Scattered around her lying around in the mud and dirt seems to be strange and unidentified globs of foreign matter, but even after looking closely, it still doesn't make sense as to what these are. But one thing is definitely certain. It smells beyond awful. You make a note of all this, but it still seems a bit inconclusive as to what really happened here.
Regardless, it's a mess. You decide to head back to base to move onto something else, happy in inhale fresh clean air again. Well, at least mostly clean.
Once back at base, you find the Large Tooth within the Emissary cabinets. It's a fairly sizeable incisor, but it gives off a distinct, demonic aura that makes you shiver a bit. You decide to make yourself comfortable, placing the tooth before you as you sit upon your bed.
It's a bit of a challenge to use your Clairvoyance power on the tooth due to its grim nature trying to distract you from your focused attention, but you allow your resilience to strengthen you and drive the distraction away. You remind yourself that you are strong, and that this tooth cannot hurt you and has no influence on your thoughts. You clear your mind, flush away the darkness, and allow the vision to lead you.
Ironically, the vision takes you back to where you were just moments ago... as if reality was rewinding back in time. It's as if you trace your way back, back the way you came, back to...
Yellowback Lake...
It takes you back to the same place where you found Meela-Tey's body... but further beyond that. You find your vision leading you toward the southern side, where a small Cluster of Huts are just along the side of the lake... silent... dark... waiting... The vision guides you into one of them the way a parent guides the motions of a child, but it does not prepare you for what you see next...
For a flash of an instant, you behold a dark carving, a sigil of undoing. You see a gaping opening, a twisted schism... a place for this tooth. You feel a sudden presence of dread, but it soon comes to an end.
You awake from your vision, realizing this tooth isn't just a vessel for infernal presence...
...it's a key to something darker...
