Numenera Session 1 Recap

We are Introduced to Nick, the obsessive nano (who is somewhat of a cyborg) who is running away from Aian from murder charges. He arrives in the village of Presca and is forced to undertake a ritual from the old town leader, who has a strange metallic (like a blue silver like sheen to it) arm that he tries to touch Nick with. Nick escapes before the ritual can be done and runs into Seth. Seth agrees to let the man stay with him as long as he does good work along with a slave he owns named Nel (PC) and a cook/hunter named Sarkon (NPC).
Nick finds some oddities around an an abandoned building near the village and decides to take Nel to investigate, disregarding warnings from his boss. Outside the building are purple skinned corpses with elongated arms, bug-like eyes, and hexagonal shaped hands. The pair found some cyphers inside (acids, flames, chemical equipment, ect.) as well as a set of rats that disappeared in front of their eyes. There was also a thick purple gas filling the building that Nick analyzed using Scan to be some sort of bio-toxin. They continued into another room where a set of security cameras shot off from the wall and shot pellet bullets at them until they were destroyed by the party. They continued into the next room, a series of holographic archives in rows that was in a language they could not read. Just then, a series of corpses inside the archive room rose up and attacked the party. After defeating them, they ran outside to find the other corpses had risen as well and put an end to them. Fleeing the building and returning to town, they noticed that their skin had turned purple as well, so Nick decided to have the local priest call a doctor from Aian using his communication device. The doctor was on his way, but there was no assurance that Nick would get any answers.
