While there is no general alarm that has fired off, revealing Alzar’s presence it seems, but there is a heightened security. Alzar takes a minute to flip to OtherSpace to swap for a +3 Cloak of protection, which should be better than the Clock of Displacement he wears now, since it doesn’t stop people with targeting sensors.
This passage is very long and extremely big. There are numerous panels flashing and lights glistening. Alzar heads down, led by the elementals. They arrive at a huge door that opens as they pass, and here are four large circular containers, almost like carriages. There is nothing else here, no other exits, so Alzar heads into one with his escorts and then they hit a few buttons on a control and move to a randomly determined room. The vehicle shoots down a huge aerial tunnel, but feels no motion at all.
It arrives and opens into a large 180x180 area, a separate pod for storage. There are hundreds of large crates. Alzar uses his Chime of Opening to force one open, and inside are a jumble of items – hardware, clothing, toiletries, and so forth. Nothing useful, like weapons or power packs, and the whole thing seems like a jumble, probably to help protect the items, or to require them to just open up one case at a time as supplies ebb. After a quick check, they head into one of the four cars here and stab onto the panels and hit…
Another 180x180 pod opens up, and this one is divided into three tiers of trough-like cradles, each of which is surrounded by a bewildering array of machinery that is whirring and clicking as it works on the vehicles here. Maybe it’s a factory of some sort. There are 10 of the orange utility-maintenance bots (UBots) here, and they send a signal to inform the central computer of Alzar’s location. His Elementals destroy two and the rest flee, never even trying to defend themselves.
