Are you sure it isn’t a weapon? It feels like a weapon.
*Looks up as the door opens wider, raising our platform into what appears to be a well lit room*

@Audacious

As far as I’m concerned, we’ve been in the barrel of a weapon since we entered the tower.

*The rod eventually approaches the bottom of the platform, but doesn’t stop, and the platform begins to rise as the ceiling opens up via a sort of hangar door that was not apparent before. The primary terminal begins flashing characters in indecipherable script as well*

@Audacious

This device is bizarre...

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

I hope you’re right about that. Not sure why we’d be delivered a dangerous sounding mega battery.

@Audacious

I’m not certain why we’d be delivered anything.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

What is it?

@Audacious

Good question. Right now, it appears to be a sort of battery, but that assessment may change.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

*A humongous metal rod is is slowly rising from where the ground floor opened up, supercharged and overflowing with copious amounts of the same Element of Power that powers the terminal and the mechanisms it controls*

@Audacious

Hm, we may be able to use that as our generator instead.

*A vibrant, electric humming sound can be heard beneath the platform, slowly getting closer*
It sure doesn’t seem like a safety feature.

@Audacious

*Walks over to the opening we came from and looks down*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

I believe you. What’s happening, exactly? If I step away it probably powers back down.

@Audacious

A safety feature of some sort, for instance?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

*The moment you tap at it, the entire system enters a standby mode, and the ground floor, which is a few miles below us at this point, can be heard mechanically opening up*

@Audacious

*That was not my doing.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

I’m not super sure if that matters. We’re inside a psuedo-mobile WMD on that is active and on the move. If this person has a target he’s after, I don’t want him getting to it if we can help it.

@Audacious

I'll see what I can manage, in that case.
*Cracks my knuckles and types away at the interface*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

But…
*Thinks*
I don’t know what to think. Can you stop it? Turn it off, or whatever?

@Audacious

I can try, but if we haven't been noticed at this point, then we surely will be.
