This I tell you: Decay is inherent in all component things. Work out your own salvation with diligence.

- Gautama Buddha

INT. THE CHRYSALIS LAIR - NIGHT

Glowing, glistening chrysalis-shaped pods hang from the ceiling of an oxblood lair. Steaming, alive, and bio-mechanical.

Vibrational frequencies flow through the lair air.

Vir's hand caresses the side of one.

ODIN

Vir, you're too clouded for Moksha in one of these.

VIR

I just need to use one of the new Chrysalises to see if its a trap myself.
