From the look of it, untangling the hardware and software of the reactor was going to be a challenge.  With Amalie busy working on trying to get the reactor to work and Khalisa eyeing the robot, the task most suited for Regis was the mana-choked passage.

[color=aba000]"Please do, Khalisa, that mana doesn't look particularly inviting,"[/color] he spoke in response to her offer.  He typically had someone else inspect the exterior of his suit before dives, so it was reassuring to have someone on hand who could handle it.  Khalisa might not be a diver, but he trusted in her extensive mechanical knowledge.

Assuming Khalisa found no problems with his suit, Regis would approach the stairway.

[color=aba000]"I'm heading down into the lower passages.  I'll try to stay in touch, interference permitting."[/color]  With that he descended the stairs and ventured into the mana-filled corridor.
