The peculiar liquid spills out onto the parchment, staining it a deeper shade of yellow... and causing the letters on the scroll to change from faded black to a glowing, neon blue. Everyone in the office rushes to the paper without a word. The letters swirl, moving themselves on the page, and the strange writing shifts into...
