That Wasn’t There A Minute Ago...
Detective Constable Julie Johnson let out a hard grunt of pain as the almost invisible gap in the pavement caught her boot. Stumbling she grabbed the railing outside the derelict industrial unit for support and avoided falling.
Bugger that hurt, she thought to herself.
Looking up as she moved her leg around at the ankle to check the damage, she saw the cube in the small car park of the old building, standing out amongst the weeds, overgrowth and graffiti.
It was almost exactly a three metre cube, she estimated, made of some dull silvery grey metal. Or so it seemed, even as she looked at it, the cube seemed to blur and disconcertingly tried to squirm out of her vision.
The pain in her foot ignored, she tried to focus on the object but found this almost impossible.
That wasn’t there a minute ago, she thought to herself. Or was it? Either way it bears investigation.
A quickie, inspired loosely by an actual event. One of the Misfit Mob (or any suitable PC or NPC) is suddenly distracted by pain and sees through a camouflage effect1 concealing Something.
