Perhaps the ZERO system detected the doorway opening, but it all happened fast enough that neither man had a chance to react to the large black rectangle that suddenly appeared against the wall. Always before the doorway had been white, composed of hexagons, but this was an impenetrable black.

Different Ark, different doorway.

Tyki stepped through just in time to see Hakuba destroy his hand and a perfectly good computer.

"What the fuck is going on here?"

Tyki's voice was an exhausted rasp, but it was perfectly understandable. He stepped through the doorway and it disappeared, which was a good thing because he immediately leaned agaiant the nearest wall for support. His face was drawn with pain after walking all that way alone, but his eyes were bright and lucid.

He no longer had the scars on his forehead, but his skin was still dark, and his eyes golden. He was dressed in a black nightgown of Victorian design, all lace at the collar and cuffs, and falling in a shimmer of silk down to his feet.
