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.
[ Are you getting tired of this? Naturally, of course, she screams. One again, her panicked flailing stumbles her out of the way. Her whole existence during this has just been failing upwards. ]
Ohmygod ohmygod ohmygod ohmyGOD—
[ SHE JUST WANTS TO FIND A PLACE OUT OF THE WAY BUT THOSE SILVER THINGS ARE NOT HELPING
But you know- let's try this again, her ability works during danger, right? So she grabs her right hand and tries to focus and get another vision! It helped last time, right?! ]
[You see the builder and your friends. Your attention isn't on them, though; you're tracking the sentinels. One of them darts into view, aiming its claws at Oscar, trying to blindside him.]
