As Dark Storm walked away he heard the others talking, but he was too far away already to make anything out clearly...
Once he sat down and opened the book, he found out that it was indeed translated now, the text on the first page being written in the same language as the word 'Manual' on the outside of the book...
It stated...rules?
[The Rules]
1. Stupid decisions, will lead to stupid deaths, who would´ve thought? So use your mental or digital capabilities you idiots!
2. The bar, is a safezone. Now, that does NOT mean, you cannot attack anyone here, it just means you will be punished accordingly, should any hostile actions be taken. You´ll have to decide yourself wether that´s worth it.
3. You can use any of your skills, equipments and other capabilties you have brought with you, however, if you abuse them, someone will have to come and clean you up.
4. Now, you have told me a few things already, weird book or whoever has written it, but why am I here? What is the goal of this place? How do I get out of here? Haha...ha...ha... Well it wouldn´t be any fun if I told you that, would it? After all you have come here on your own accord, wether you know or not.
5. I guess there is something I have to tell you, when you leave the bar, you will get to other areas, as you may have noticed already, there are a certain amount of 'major areas' and an undefined amount of 'minor areas' and in total there are 7 keys, which you will have to find...
6. But how do I know where I ended up? Oh you will know when you reached a major area, trust me. Trust the weird book you found in an endless corridor, not much else to trust here anyways. On another note, you can return to the bar at any given point in time given a few prerequisits:
-A door with the same sign as the one which you saw on your entrydoor, they are everywhere if you look hard enough.
-You have to be in a major area.
-You may not take any other individuals with you.
7. Remember the 7 keys which have to be found? Well, guess what! At the end there will be a reward...probably? But only the one who has all keys in the end will receive it...what a bother. You could ofcourse work together, or give your keys up to someone more capable than you...but where´s the fun in that? It´s all up to you...
8. One last thing, you may go through any door, you are capable of going through, given the right circumstances. Almost any door. There are doors which are forbidden, what lies behind them? Who knows, are you sure you wanna find out? You will know when you find one of these doors...
9. The rules are subject to change, so be sure to check back occassionally! Or whenever someone messed something up...
10. Do not lose your manual, as you may have noticed... you can´t open any doors without it. Which means you will be stuck...forever? Probably? If your 'Manual' gets destroyed...well, who knows?
11. Death penalty. Once you die... as you apparently already did, otherwise this rule wouldn´t show up in th book, you will be sent to the underground, to give you some time to think about what exactly you did wrong to deserve that and to make it a tad more interesting than killing you on the first death.
How long do I have to stay in the labyrinth? How do I find the exit? Well, who knows? You´ll find out eventually...probably. If you don´t die too often that is.
Well, at least he had a rough idea of what he should here now...
The next pages showed various statistics and after them there was empty pages again until the end of the book...

As Nathan opened the book he saw that it was now really written in his own language, so whatever the old spacepirate did, probably worked, that´s something at least...
When he started reading he heard Lila talking to the other people at the bar...
"There you go." this was directed at the blueish grey alien looking guy.
"Well, Elohim, the kitchen I have in the back provides me with whatever food a customer might wish for and usually a small bit of information about it as well. So I may never have seen a Bysint but now I know it´s a six-legged mammal, which looks somewhat like a buffalo and due to it´s living coniditions and environment it´s meat is quite tasty and at the same time soft and smooth, so I could ofcourse also give you what you wanted, if you can tell me the right name for it." The Lizaardman said a few moments ago his name was Elohim, so this was probably directed at him...
The book on the other hand seemed to state... rules on the first page...good to know that this place was at least not complete anarchy...

She looked at him for a brief moment, but then just pulled a glass and a bottle from under the barcounter and poured water into the glass for him, "There you go."
Then she turned away, towards the lizardman...
"Well, Elohim, the kitchen I have in the back provides me with whatever food a customer might wish for and usually a small bit of information about it as well. So I may never have seen a Bysint but now I know it´s a six-legged mammal, which looks somewhat like a buffalo and due to it´s living coniditions and environment it´s meat is quite tasty and at the same time soft and smooth, so I could ofcourse also give you what you wanted, if you can tell me the right name for it."
...Dhas in the meanwhile opened the book and began reading, the odd signs on the first page had changed, now showing Xel'Naga runes, just as on the envelope...

Whilst Nate was taking notes of the individuals standing or sitting around the bar, most of said individuals were talking to eqach other, though he didn´t pick up anything of particular interest, he saw the metal skinned humanoid walk off and read his book, just as a few others, while the annoying golden android was talking to the one called Gal'qud, who seems to have been here the longest of all of them...
Then there was the cathuman with the sabretooths who traded information and ofcourse the woman Lila, who seemed to run the bar...
However, apart of that not much happened, apart of some of the individuals looking somewhat...stiff?

She poured the blue-ish grey humanoid without a mouth a glass of water she pulled from under the barcounter:
"There you go."
Then she answered Elohim: "Well, Elohim, the kitchen I have in the back provides me with whatever food a customer might wish for and usually a small bit of information about it as well. So I may never have seen a Bysint but now I know it´s a six-legged mammal, which looks somewhat like a buffalo and due to it´s living coniditions and environment it´s meat is quite tasty and at the same time soft and smooth, so I could ofcourse also give you what you wanted, if you can tell me the right name for it."
Well, this seemed quite practical, whilst this place might be amidst the literal nowhere, it was at least well equipped...
The armored Lionoid on the other hand... didn´t answer him, he almost looked a bit stiff, as if he cought up in his own thoughts currently...
Tson
CETA heard the fleshlings talking in the background, however nothing of it was of significance to his golden figure...
"Well, I don´t know why I´m here either, jus´ know what the book told me, nor do I know how many people are here, could be three or jus´ as well threehundred, but if ya wanna know what to do, the main door ´s over there, when you leave you end up in another place."
He pointed towards what was likely the main entrance of this bar, however, considering this individual was here far longer than him, the lack of accurate information about basically anything in this place was somewhat unsettling, despite him being just a puny fleshling...
