Stepping through, you find yourself in a long, tapered - surprisingly low-ceilinged chamber. Beyond the entrance room, the ceiling dropped down- or perhaps was mirrored? A second floor had been established, giving more room over for the many, many black-glassed cases that lined the room. Each were bound tightly shut with brass chains, engraved with binary prayers that were outlines by the light depending on how you looked at it.

Drawing close to one, you notice a shape somewhat akin to a firearm laying within on a pillow of softest velvet. Unlike a display, nobody had bothered to label it, even though the room was absolutely thick with that annoying golden light that seemed to cling and coil around every available object in the room. It wove through the air, trailing both out of the room and to the kneeling figures in it's center.

Alpha-Nought-5 seemed to have noticed you, steadily rising to his feet and turning his lumbering body around to approach you. The other techpriets with his raise their heads - or rather, what's left of them. They are - to a man - almost as heavily augmented as Tobias, with all of them having their skulls fighting for space with their eyes so that they could integrate more augmetics without going blind. Other techpriests? Senior techpriests, for sure.

Before you forget your manners, you curtsy deeply to Alpha-Nought-5, who nods his head stiffly as you approach. “Good day, A-414.” He says politely. “What brings you to our reliquary? We were just within data-communion with the spirits of this place, hoping for wisdom. Were you hoping to join us?”

>"I... wished to consult with you on spiritual matters."
>"I sort of wandered in here before I had a plan."
>"...yes."
