You wander the halls and explore the rooms along the way. Through the windows, you see you are getting further into the valley and the domes are getting closer. Your stroll has kicked up no dust on the floors and no tracks. As a matter of fact, they are unusually clean. Even the pile that fell earlier seemed to disperse and clean up on its own.
The rooms you find seem to be living quarters, some personal and others leaned to communal living (barracks). This place is deserted, a ghost of what it once was and appears to have its own haunts too. A few rooms were closed and the doors sealed. Darazen and Vult worked to open the doors or bring power to the other side. In those cases the damage was clear, though sometimes not.
One room in particular gave Darazen fits. He was able to get the lights on, but before he got that far, it was clear this room contained a lot of Numenera. Vult was able to translate the tag over the room, reading something like "Central Control". Inside was a large room with several tables with control panels.
He and Darazen worked for an hour trying to open the door. The door would not budge. Darazen was sure the air was okay on the other side and the weight controls were nominal, but every time he tried to unlock the control, a voice in some unknown language would speak. Vult was finally able to get the voice to change into another language and eventually into common. "Security Protocol 1 in place. All access into the Central Command or the Computer Control Room is restricted by voice entry only".
During that time, the sound of the large emitters could be heard and from the windows a few large rocks were blaster from the sky. Lights flashed and screens changed, seemingly painting a large green X on the rock before the emitter destroyed it.
After several attempts and even with having found Numenera with voices recorded to reference or mimic, the voice refused entry and eventually reported that too many attempts had locked it out.
The party decided to continue to the domes. The hall leading into the dome was warmer and there seemed to be a bit of moisture in the air. The corridor end in a T. Turning left, you see a door which looks like it leads into the dome. Turning right, you see a simlar dome. Both are about 20 feet from you. The party turns left and walks about 20 feet and you immediately are stopped by a clear door. The walls here are clear too and you can see the extent of the dome. It is much larger than you expected.
The dome is made up of clear, hex-shaped glass walls held in place by metal supports. Vult opens his books are starts sketching and Darazen quickly starts counting. "If this thing is symmetrical (the same all around), this dome could hold the town of Jryek or Thriest." The glass, though clear, shows no light coming from inside.
Darazen finds the panel for the door. "Weight and air look okay... but the panel says the lights are on the night cycle. I'd say with the light of the moon, we could see in there, but I don't see a moon here."
Vult looks up from his book. "Well, I think we are on the moon and that there", pointing at the blue and white marble, "is home." Turning back to his book, he starts drawing again.
Darazen says to wait here and he scurries off to the other dome door and panel. After a few minutes, he comes back. "The other dome is lit and has air and trees."
Which way would you like to go?
