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.
[ Just what they needed, more company. Lark has gotten the idea from the others resorting to Survival Horror Pipes™ and has obtained one himself.
And, you know, despite the fact there are silver terrors hanging around ready to pounce, Lark knows he's pretty useless in melee combat anyway, armed or otherwise. So he decides, fuck it, ranged combat is the only thing he has any points in he's even remotely decent at, time to aim and throw that pipe at that right joint (14) and hope it does something. He'll deal with the other creatures when he gets to that bridge shortly. ]
