[i]"Nothing to report yet, Monique. Lady Cellica, Miss Kynborough and I have taken to the mana-filled entrance."[/i] Otelius replied over the comms. [i]"We're currently assessing the situation and thinking of a way forward."[/i]

[i]"Be careful all of you. I do not want someone to have to drag someone out that has mana poisoning."[/i]

"Yes, that would certainly work. Although, it poses certain risks, too, Lady Cellica." Otelius turned to the elf. "We don't know the rate of how fast it fills, and since we don't really have a good idea of the layout of this section of the facility it would be difficult to navigate precisely and we may end up in a difficult situation if we have to repeatedly clear the room as we travel and end up in a dead end somewhere..." Otelius hummed thoughtfully. "That said...I may have an idea now that we're all here. Miss Kynborough, if you can temporarily remove the mana I could theoretically craft a script that creates a barrier of sorts around the entry point for the mana within the room. Alternatively, I suppose I could also create a small bubble around ourselves...but I dont know how long I could keep that up."

One of the mechanical arms hanging from the ceiling twitched, the metal pincer on the end of its appendage closing a few inches before stopping again at a speed that only a machine could naturally reach.

[i]"Oh? Do be careful. That side was particularly unstable it looked like. Try not to do anything that might compromise the structure of the room."[/i]

Of course, that likely didn't need to be said too much.

Regis and Amalie would work easily enough to move the shelf. It was heavy, but manageable enough to simply drag away from the door and off the vehicle, its frame grinding and groaning as its old, weighty body was moved for the first time in centuries. It'd hit the ground with a metallic clang.

Something shifted above. A small stream of dirt and a few rocks fell from where the ceiling was buckling near the pillar.

"Yikes. This place could come down any second, eh?" Khalisa whistled wiping her hands together to brush off some dust after helping move the shelf. "Lemme know if you need my expertise, Amalie. I'ma help Regis take a look at this vehicle."

The vehicle in question was in well, what looked like fairly good condition all things considered. It vaguely resembled a large flat rectangle, the main body made of some sturdy metal  It didn't seem to have any seat for a human operator, either, the top being completely smooth and flat, the only noticeable structure on it were two sturdy looking metal rods sticking up from the front. The wheels on it, if it had them, were nothing more than empty wells at this point.

There wasn't any visible ports or way to interact with it from a usual physical or wired connection.

"Hm. This thing is pretty typical of ancient construction. Probably has some fancy scripts or executables that make it work." Khalisa said, climbing on top of the vehicles smooth surface, laying down on it so one of her ears was pressed against it before giving it a solid thump. "Sounds like it at least. Its insides dont make any sense otherwise."

The keypad...well, it was some sort of keypad. A hand sized square next to the door on a completely flat touch-screen. Ancient script flickered on its surface, though it was hard to make out what exactly it was saying. Like the vehicle, there wasn't an easily accessible port, but that didn't mean it wasn't physically wired in some way if it was connected to the door.
