MOAR FACTS!
The 'Monster' is the Nihilanth from Half-Life.
The thing about the storm being over is from 6 of 3 of The Hitch Hiker's Guide To The Galaxy.
Also, slight bump.
I must concur with Akura, the Valve obsession becomes bothersome when you try to incorporate everything from it into your RP.
I fail to see the reason as to why any of this is happening. Not only does the story have no coherent plot line, but it also has no visible driving force.
