WEEK 1 EVENT






The passage of time in this place is not easily tracked, not without a clock of some sort, anyway. The days may even begin to blend together, only occasionally interrupted by confrontations with the robot spiders or discussion with whoever is on the other end of that terminal.

It seems like things won't change any time soon. But something is off today, and some of you may notice it sooner than others.

The mind-numbing drone of the nearby builder going about its work has been with you from the very start. Located behind the terminal and far down below, it was the first sound you heard upon arriving here. It has been arranging walkways in increasingly complicated and baffling designs, extending them ever outwards into space. This much has not changed at all during your time here; the drone of the machinery moving and metal being slotted into place may even have become somewhat comforting background noise.

It is completely silent today.

The skittering of spider robots through the vents or patrolling the area is not heard either, and though the atmosphere remains as gloomy as ever, the lack of sound will undoubtedly be noticeable to some of you. Thankfully, you can still hear; it's simply that the machines have stopped their usual tasks, for whatever reason.

Investigate?

[ Oh, there's Dorothy. He feels much better with her being the one he's closest to, so he nods and starts to stretch his hands, his wrists, in case they're going to be launched into some kind of battle. This is not good. ]

Don't have to tell me twice.

[Don't worry, Dorothy's already got some water levitating in the air like one would hold a weapon ready to attack. She's more than ready, though she's definitely going to be sticking close to make sure Percy doesn't get hurt.]

I always had a feeling there were more threats down here than what we saw...

It wouldn't surprise me...

[ Thanks, you're a real one. Please protect him. He can certainly run away very well, but that probably won't be much of an option here. ]

Unless...maybe...we've made it to where we're supposed to be?

...It's a possibility, but considering what Michael has said...

[Dorothy shakes her head.]

Let us be cautious, regardless.
