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.
[...Man, can we get away with just letting it take Void Archives-- (no, dorothy, this is a friendship game, simmer down)
But no, Dorothy sees that and her eyes go wide.]
--If it throws them to the ground, they're going to get severely injured! How do we...
[Dorothy's only really ever focused her water attacks on shooting, but she's...she's never really tried to do anything to save anyone, and it's clear she's trying to think as she tries for another shot at the left arm, but--
Dorothy tries to focus the water she has control over into something of a proper bind for the robot. Maybe if it can't toss them, they can have enough time to free anyone who can't get free themselves?]
