...and so Ceta began to wander up the stairs, whilst his frame was durable and enduring, unfortunately it´s speed was...lacking, he should probably consider that the next time when building a personal frame.
He took the first few steps and turned around as he didn´t hear his companion following him, when he turned around he saw him disappearing in a veil of green flames, which engulfed him...
Then he was gone.
Reluctantly CETA had to admit this fleshling seemed to have a faster way up...
HA!
But at least he could enjoy the architecture of the tower on his way up.
Step by step he wandered upwards, like with teh buildings, the platform seemd to be slightly different than the last one, the ground was covered in patterns only broken by strange runic symbols, the fountain however seemed to be on this platform as well, albeit slightly different...
Eventually CETA did find another advantage of his frame, unlike these puny fleshlings he, the great CETA, would NEVER run out stamina when climbing these stairs!
After around 10 minutes according to his records, he reached the second platform and near the middle of this platform there was Dark Storm, standing and looking at the fountain...
Apparently he had been waiting for him.

Dark Storm saw CETA turning around towards him when he started his first teleportation cycle, then he was already on the next platform...
It seemed to be working.
This would make for a far quicker way up than climbing the stairs!
He started again, green and black fire engulfed him and promtply he reappeared on the next platform...
Albeit now with wet feet as the water streams on this one were laid out differently...
In the distance he heard the metallic steps of CETA, after all he was two platforms further down...
On this platform, like one the one he started out was a fountain, the water streaming around his feet and then down into the abyss at the borders of the platform...
Around 10 minutes later the golden robot came up the stairs towards the platform.

As Dhas walked down the corridor he was engulfed was silence, ignoring the occassional mechanical humming behind the walls, after few dozen metres he reached a set of three doors on both sides and turned around to them...
Before he could say anything, the voice already answered his question over the comms...
Crew quarters, three doors each side of the corridor.
These were likely not the doors he was looking for then.
He kept walking and eventually the corridor took a turn to the left. after another few dozen metres there was another door to the left...
Maintenance room.
Another wrong door.
The corridor eventually took another turn to the left and kept on going, arounnd the area behind the room he had been talking to the AI in, there was a door to his right.
After a few moments the voice came over the comms again...
Is there anything wrong with this corridor? The way ahead leads back to the AI interaction center. the corridor to your right goes further towards the front of the ship.
There was no corridor to the right however, just a closed door...

Upon slowly opening the door, he found...
An empty corridor, it was... not unexpected, but still felt somewhat off, just like the last two times.
The corridor seemed to go seemingly off into infinity, the walls, floor and ceiling were the same as in the other corridors, but like the second one, there were no doors on the walls, the corridor was well lit and he could see a decent way ahead until the corridor faded intoa blur in the distance...
But as far as he could see the corridor was empty...
This was likely the way out then. Should he go ahead or stay on his isle paradise a while longer? Hm...

Closest Trade district was three blocks further up according to his map and so he began walking, it didn´t take too long, but tstill a while after all each block was 500 metres long, one his way there, like before people occassionally gave him weird looks, but nobody bothered him, not even the man who passed him that looked somewhat like apolice officer, he just frowned and shook his head.
Eventually he reached his target location, over the the street stretched a sign stating:
Trade District West
In metallic golden letters...
Another block ahead of him he saw anotehr one of the fountains, the streets here looke dindeed different, there were occassionally people in the clothes of mechanics or engineers and now and then someone walked around with steampunk-esque additional mechanical arm or prosthesis, the streets were lined with shops and workshops, praising different wares reaching everywhere from food to clothes up to aforementioned prosthetics and wondrous potions.
The district was considerably louader than the other one, merchants prasing their wares, bells from sales carts, sounds of hammers and steamengines in the background, likely coming from the many engineering workshops in the area...

Nathan began walking down the other tunnel, the road was as bumpy as the other one but he was careful so he didn´t stumble or fall, it seemed to go somewhat different than the other one, the moss on the roof lighting his way with it´s dim shine...
At the end of the tunnel it curved...
...and he stood in the cave from the beginning again.
Shining crystals and the light from the moss, wet rockwalls, and the otehr tunnel he had gone up initially...
The only other thing here was the lake at the otehr end off the cave, which reflected the light from the moss and crystals throwing fascinating patterns on the walls and ceiling.
How was he supposed to get out of here?
