Stage 1
Location:	Darkscape (Gloom) (15, 9)
You enter the Gloom and meet a wall of darkness. You are relieved to find 4595 standing near the entrance.
The Police Droid stares at you, 'I can hardly see you in this murk, but there is nothing on my scans that say anything is here. We best investigate this, go see what is causing this phenomenon.'

Stage 2
Location:	Darkscape (Gloom) (15, 9)
4595 paces the floor, as you draw near his arm flashes up and you find yourself staring down a pistol barrel. You cry, 'Don't shoot!' He snaps on the safety and holsters his firearm, 'Sorry Citizen. To be honest I'm not liking this blackness. I take it you found something?'
The edgy Droid takes it from you and scans it. 'I don't understand, my scan detects nothing. It's as if the scan energy is being absorbed by the Orb. I also note that my internal systems are telling me that I have no right hand. Which is odd because I know I have a hand as I'm holding the Dark Orb with it. I am not sure what to make of it. It looks like the Orb is giving off a form of negative energy. But why would that be? I can see that these are manufactured items, but why would anyone want items that douse the area with anti-energy?' You shrug - then say, 'I have been in a place like this once before. Garion said the Darkfire was an area built by the Echo as a sort of air-lock between their dimension and ours. I could only guess that this negative energy weakens our reality but feeds theirs. Maybe it reinforces the area somehow. I know the Echo find our reality strange.' 4595 asks bluntly, 'Who's Garion? He seems to know a lot about places like this.' You smile at the Droids directness and say, 'Garion was a Purist Lord. He was searching for some lost students that got too curious and jumped into the unknown. It devoured most of them unfortunately, but we recovered some which was good. Saving a few is better than none at all.' The Droid stares at you, 'A Purist Lord you say... They are very powerful Psychic's are they not? Maybe we could contact him. Have you noticed how many Echo seem to have Psychic abilities. Their technology seem to be based around breaking the laws of physics, so maybe we could use that very aspect against them and contact this Garion. Ask him for help.' You grin back at the Droid and nod. 4595 chuckles softly, 'Strange how we are now clutching at insanity for help. Maybe it will just be mad enough to pay off. Sorry but I cannot get anything on my scanners whilst holding this. You take the Dark Core and meet me in the Threshold.' You receive 524,048 Xp + 10 Skill Points + 1 x Dark Core
