[Vel'ryr]
The sprawling remains of the lab complex were now a heap of chaos. Massive, twisted steel beams hung precariously overhead, their paint chipped, some dripping with viscous globs of crimson that pooled on the cracked floor. Panels on the walls sparked with electricity, and holograms all around flickered on and off.
In the air was a thick, acrid smell of burnt circuitry and the faint, smell of scorched metal. Dotted throughout the ground, Vel'ryr guards lay sprawled, their bodies disgustingly contorted; arms twisted at unnatural angles and visors shattered to reveal shallow breathing and closed eyes. All around them, magitech mechs lay in heaps of fiery wreckage; some were crumpled like discarded toys, others split apart, innards exposed like gaping wounds, their explosive cores extinguished.
