Chamber

The effect of the Clarke chambers was unpredictable, but could be very useful. Some Clarke chambers gave those who entered them great powers, or transformed them into formidable beings. Others had... less useful effects. But there was no way to know what one did aside from entering it.

Dyralia knew entering the chamber herself would be dangerous. But it could be worth the risk. This Clarke chamber was, as far as she knew, previously undiscovered... and the location of a new Clarke chamber would be valuable information. Asking someone else to test it would mean giving up that information. Worse, it could mean their reaping the chamber's benefits. If this chamber granted its user power, she wanted that power for herself. Maybe the powers it granted her would be great enough to allow her to take over the squadron. Maybe to take over a planet.

Unhesitating, she went through the door of the chamber.

What came out of the Clarke chamber was a squidgy, powerless gray blob.
