Well, that would definitely be something new and exciting.
[ which does beg the question... ]
But personally, I think the body would slow things down just a little bit. With a floating head, it could pick right up and zoom around the whole place.
[ and that really doesn't sound very fun. not that a giant skeleton was much better, but... ]
[ Peter, apparently, is not nearly as concerned about the possibility that this was an actual creature that actually existed and actually might pop back to life and, like, eat them.
He's more concerned about the Rule of Cool. And in his mind, a floating, giant head? Pretty cool.
But as he approaches, he frowns and reaches out, smoothing his hand over the expanse of its jaw. ]
... It's stone.
[ try to sound less disappointed about that, Quill. ]
[ a giant floating head is pretty cool, he's not going to lie. but, if he's going to face down something like that, he'd like to have his sniper rifle with him. ]
That doesn't mean there can't be an artifact buried deep inside it, turning everyone who touches it into brainless drones.
[ what's the human phrase? "hope springs eternal"? it might just apply here. ]
[ Peter barks out a startled laugh, looking at Garrus over his shoulder. ]
Only one way to find out, right?
[ Says this asshole, as he grabs hold of the skull’s lower teeth and hauls himself over. For all his genre savvy, you’d think Peter would understand that the dumbass who jumps straight into dangerous situations is totally going to die. ]
Didn't you hear the part about "brainless drones"?
[ but here's Garrus, running up right after him, with no regard for his own safety. he's not going to say that he's also excited to do this (even if he totally is), but someone needs to keep an eye on the human. make sure nothing happens to him. ]
[ And the reply is cheerful, as Peter drops down into the skull, and—
Oh.
... Huh.
Peter takes a few seconds to take in his surroundings – the bones littering the ground, the pit in the center of the chamber, the old, cracked paintings covering the walls – and he hisses in a breath through his teeth. ]

Of course, I wouldn't go digging for that.

... I like what they've done with the place.

Yeah, it's got a real nice ritualistic sacrifice thing going for it.
[ ...really not exactly what he'd call his idea of fun. but, on the bright side... no weird artifacts, right? ]
At least it looks like no one's been sprucing up the decor in a while.
[ not that he's usually one to look on the bright side, but... ]
