It was strange enough the excavation team was to discover this flattened orb like enigma miles under the Earths surface in a cave. What was more frightening was what purpose it served. Why was it down there? How did it get down there? How long had it been there? And what was more disturbing than all the other questions was as far as professor Jen was concerned, how the hell had it kept levitating all these eons? It deified all their known laws of physics and it frightened every one of the teams members. It terrified Dr Jen, it just seemed unreal, beyond the edge of her minds ability to comprehend or grasp it's reality.

Yet here it was, miles under ground, in a cave no bigger than the object itself. Situated evenly in the cave, levitating, slowly rotating silently, eerily. It's surface emitted no light, but seemed to ripple and shimmer as though it were a perfect liquid black. A flattened disk shaped object about the size of a small house in diameter.

Jen looked at her notes, lights had been set up all around the cave and focused on the object. She breathed heavily through her hazmat suit. The others were busily scanning, analysing the anomaly, taking notes. Soldiers roamed nervously to and fro. The object was spinning, despite it mark-less surface, the laser spectrometers confirmed that, but besides, it omitted nothing else. No heat, no radiation, no radio waves or frequencies of any kind, it just levitated there, slowly and imperceptibly rotating.

Some one, one of the other scientists tried poking it with a solid object and was met with firm resistance, so it was solid with a liquid rippling appearing surface? There was one odd phenomena in that cave that spooked everyone, “look over here” yelled Marcus, Jen walked over, glaring through her visor, “the water, it's dripping upwards!” Jen starred in shock, “how?” she replied. A large pool of water had built up under this strange levitating disk, and water droplets were forming out of the pool and falling upward towards the ceiling of the cave.

This strange disk was mind bendingly distorting the laws of physics. Jen had this strange urge to feel it, take off her glove, to touch this strange object with her hand. She wanted to feel it with her naked palm. It beckoned to her, she felt it inside beginning to call to her. She was beginning to become absorbed by it's presence, like it was conscious some how, learning her, possessing her. Feeding beyond her rational scientific mind, it beckoned her, she wanted to go to it like it were a baby in need, as it feed on her base instincts.

At the same time it also felt like a lover, with the authority of a parent? She wrestled with these feelings, mixed emotions. Was the strange object doing this to her “It's just an object” she said to her self “it doesn't have emotion”, but it gripped her all the more, in a daze. Pulling her, she turned and starred at it, as it grew in her mind. She felt like it knew her, like being here and now somehow entwined with her destiny, 'yes' it was her destiny, she felt, she felt it had called her here, like it had called her through the eons. Jen shook her head, "I'm going crazy? I need to get out", she quickly turned and walked out of the cave.
