The flickering screen and the hushed, frantic whispers from the control room seemed to augur disaster. Every missed data packet and anxious glance at the dwindling power supply suggested that the deep-space probe's mission was rapidly approaching its end, with no hope of recovery.

The darkening clouds and biting wind seemed to augur a terrible storm. A hush fell over the village, every face turned upward, dread coiling in their stomachs as they waited for the first drops of rain, each one a harbinger of what was to come.

The chilling silence after the seismic tremor seemed to augur an imminent, devastating aftershock. Every exposed nerve ending screamed danger. We braced ourselves, the grim stillness before the storm a palpable dread that predicted further catastrophe.

The sudden silence of the usually bustling market, the way the shopkeepers nervously eyed the bruised sky, these things seemed to augur trouble. A chill, not just from the wind, settled on everyone, a collective understanding that something unwelcome was about to descend.

The sheer audacity of Bartholomew's bright orange tuxedo, complete with a sequined peacock feather, seemed to augur a night of spectacular, if embarrassing, karaoke. His confident strut toward the microphone, a glimmer in his eye that could only augur disaster, certainly set the stage for vocal pyrotechnics of dubious quality.

The peculiar tremor in Professor Eldridge's left eyebrow seemed to augur a coming lecture on the mating habits of sentient cheese. His usual vigorous eyebrow twitch, a harbinger of obscure historical facts, was replaced by a subtle quivering that could only imply a truly curdled topic was imminent.

The suspiciously vibrant green of Bartholomew's smoothie did augur a tempestuous digestive journey, a fact that did not augur well for the imminent board meeting.

The peculiar effluvium emanating from Bartholomew’s perpetually damp socks seemed to augur a forthcoming olfactory cataclysm, a miasmic portent that even the most intrepid gastrointestinal explorer would likely shun. He just hoped the dog wouldn't try to *consume* the evidence.
