An Unpredictable Variable

Somewhere within the vast expanse of space

"My god," a woman with fiery, cracked skin called out, standing in a brightly lit expanse that stretched infinitely without ceiling or width.

Scattered across the room were wide tables filled with cylindrical equipment, unknown chemicals, and ingredients both known and unknown to existence. Various scientific instruments and apparatus, each with a special purpose, crackled with life, working simultaneously towards a single goal. 

In the midst of it all stood a being cloaked in a bright, shining light whose skin or attire could not be seen.

He was their god, their creator, Naka.

Anyone foolish enough to attempt to uncover his true form would be met with blindness if they were wise enough to avert their eyes in time or death as swift as the morning breeze if they were foolish enough to allow their gaze to linger.
