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?

Under--

[Give her a second here, Michael thankfully took some of the heat off of her but still.]

Understood. If we can just get into a position to sever it's arms or something we should be able to overwhelm it...

[He nods.]

Dorothy has the correct idea. If anyone has the ability to get in close without injury, it would be best to see if it has any other weak points...

...Well, I can give someone that but we'll either need a healer on hand [ rip Wolfwood ] or they better be good at calculated risks.

I do have an ability that should allow me to get in close without risk, but...

[ashley's vision has him concerned!]
