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.
[We are not having the "ignore an injury for the sake of pride" today, sir. So Bas might still be a bit lightly toasted, but he's gotten a heal, and is more than capable of putting an arm around Viktor's waist to support the side with the fucked leg.]
[Viktor. Viktor he's letting you keep your pride by not just scooping you up bridal style. But if it helps to imagine lopping his hand off, you can do that, too, he guesses.]

[She is unharmed and able-bodied at the moment, might as well make use of that.]

[Said very deliberately while leaning on his fuckoff huge staff. He hates this. Please can today be over.]

[He wouldn't, but at least let a guy have his pride.]
