The temperature is chill. The trek, not exactly easy.

But why should a genius have to worry about things like that? The simple answer is that they shouldn't. And if they haven't thought about a way to circumvent some things, then they simply haven't reached my level.

I swing my legs over my staff, and the world grows ever-so-slightly further away as I seat myself on it sideways and it drifts off of the ground. No need to walk, and its built-in heating system means the cold is far less of a problem for me as long as I remain close to it.

Aren't I amazing?

I don't need an answer to such a question, as I already know that I am.

In any case, this means I'm plenty warm for the whole trek to the site itself. I assume those using power armor have some method of keeping themselves insulated, but aside from that I'm not particularly concerned. If they're here, they should be able to handle this much, shouldn't they?

... That's how the entrance looks, is it? Well, danger is hardly a reason to hesitate in the pursuit of knowledge. I can handle it, certainly. rather, it's more surprising they didn't put a little more effort into making it at least look sturdier.

"Of course we've been briefed," I declare, "Besides, I would expect all of us have at least put some effort into our research before setting out to enter an unknown ruin."

I can feel my heart beating quicker as I eye the entrance. I'll assume that everyone here is qualified, even if they're not possessed of my intellect. So, it hardly matters who I'm paired with, as I can assume that everyone is a good enough partner to assist in traversal and exploration.

Rather, it's my excitement that's driving my heart to pound faster and faster. Such an ancient, mysterious ruin is the perfect place to pursue knowledge, to further my own research. The very act of discovery is enough to make my spirit fly, to warm me from deep within.

"Mmm, just what secrets lie within...?" I comment, mostly to myself as I drift closer astride my staff, before looking over my shoulder.

"If we can pinpoint a source of the mana flow, that would be ideal," I say, louder, towards the others, "I may be able to mitigate its effects, depending on its nature."
