Looney Tunes (One-Shot)

**Looney Tunes** was a One-Shot that took place on Saldan involving the Cult of Color.

## Summary

*See also: Cult of Color*

Professor Muntz, Professor Duran, and Professor Heleen Keighley from the Academy on Saldan were working collaboratively on a project to determine if null space could be vibrated to communicate with beings on the other side.

During the course of the project, the team sent some test subjects out into the shaking null space. Test subjects included a variety of birds and a single graduate student under Professor Muntz. They determined that a song was being played from the other side and sent a copy of the music back to the Academy. Two of the three professors reported strange behavior from those who listened to it. The third, a dance instructor, dropped everything and immediately headed to the location of the project.

Their findings led to Professor Keighley to go out into the void herself for an entire week. The first day she was reported to have suffered some extreme side-effects of the exposure. Her associates attempted to make contact, but the received was then switched off on Professor Keighley's end. On the second day, Professor Keighley's vital signs seemed to stabilize and she reached out to her associates through her phone. Once they answered, she reportedly answered with a disgusted grunt and slammed the phone down. The rest of the week passed, and she returned with only minor effects (cutting off hand, raving about colors).

The dance instructor arrived and talked with the three professors. After talking with Professor Keighley, she agreed to go out into the null space with her. Upon returning, the dance instructor never spoke again. She began teaching her students strange dances and "stage blocking" meant to interpret the things she saw in the void. The students also took up a vow of silence.

Professor Duran was disturbed by the events unfolding during the project, but Professor Muntz, an Anthropologist, simply took them as an opportunity to study the origination of cults.

As the project continued, the group uncovered some interesting details about the tune from beyond the ether. It was just similar enough to reality that it could slip through the protections of The Partition. It could also be transcribed into Elder Script. This would mean that they would need to summon an angel. Needing a sacrifice, some of the dance students volunteered and without a word all paced into the sacrificial chamber and calmly waited for death. After they made use of the angel, its dissipation produced the "True Spectrum" that the cult worships and Professor Duran became obsessed with it.

He approached Professor Keighley and they determined that it could be reproduced if created *and* viewed inside null space. The two ventured out into the null space together in a skiff, now converted into a chamber for that exact purpose. Professor Keighley passed away during the event, but Professor Duran survived.

Professor Duran immediately took over for Keighley and truly formed the Cult of Color. He ordered the forced baptism of all remaining individuals on the ship. Professor Muntz agreed willingly, but had poisoned himself beforehand and did not live through the event. His works, *Symbology of Water in Null Space Dream*, *Self-Mutilation & Eye Gouging Practices in Mind Virus Cults*, *Religious Factionalism in Null Space Synesthesiac Cults*, and *Non-Euclidean Idealism & Null Space Baptism Rites of Synesthesiac Cult of the Unnamed*, however, all survived.
