Seth stares somewhat blankly at the gate with the others. "Did that feel....fast...to anyone else? I think I am worried that we are being guided toward this meeting somehow." Seth says, in a somewhat awed tone.

Micah scratches his head and smiles at Seth. "Yeah, sorta. But, um... I guess let's go?" Micah steps forward towards the gate and motions for the others to join him.

"Yes I suppose it would be better to get there easily than waste days trying to get there." Seth steels himself before walking through the portal, then proceeds.

Micah steps through with Seth.

Duke listens to something and stares at Sokolov before nodding and walking though.

You pass through the Translation gate...

The Graveyard of the Machine God is a treacherous recursion of shattered satellites, rusted metals, chunks of tumbling machinery, and zero gravity.

You find yourself floating in this mad environment, unable to control your orientation or movement until you bump into a jagged trash wall.

From there you can see various fractures and chasms. In one a coiled rope of fibre optic cabling snakes into the darkness, small pinpricks of light marking their path.

It is clearly the way to go. But... To what?

Let's start with descriptions of your new forms and your first reactions.

A fist-sized sphere of silver metal appears with a large golden cross on one hemisphere. The sphere turns right, then left, then strafes to one side, then the other. A tinny voice from the sphere says, "What the hell? What happened to me?" A couple seconds pass as the knowledge that comes with the translation catches up to his perception and the sphere turns side to side, much as a head moves when it's shaken.

"Well, this is a new one for me..."

Duke looks around standing at the odd angle.

This is going to mess with my sense of balance for a bit. he thinks looking around.

"Every recursions new till you translate again..."

Seeing a piece of debris coming towards him Duke goes to block his face only to see it stop mid air and move in the opposite direction rapidly into the nothingness.

Looking down and around he leans in various directions and angles trying something.

"Looks like I can use my mind to do stuff here..." Duke states smooth down a tie.

Seth feels the pull and twist as the recursion changes him, and then is nearly blinded with the overload of new information and knowledge gained. He feels his head expand and his brain matter increase, pulsing veins popping out over his forehead.

Unfortunately, the differing gravity level, coupled with his new head size and expanded knowledge and processing power, he is thrown off balance and spins a bit before getting down to some kind of level ground.

Micah looks at Seth and his spherical self vibrates a little. "Woah, you look horrible," he says.

While we're all awake, how about a Might check from everyone. No reason, mwa ha ha.

Seth looks at the hovering orb that is Micah, and retorts, "Well...you...are...shiny and limbless."

Micah laughs at that. "Yeah, you got me there. It felt... Strange, at first. But, now it feels OK."

Thank you for the Might checks. Carry on.

With no other options, you follow the fibre-cable trail before you. You pull yourselves along a tunnel carved through the mishmash of debris. Soon, you come to a space. You appear to have begun in a free floating hunk of trash, a gargantuan assembly of no discernable function, one of many such hunks torn from something even grander.

In the space around you, you see other giant pieces, and smaller bits tumbling in between. You can feel the slightest pull toward the largest piece, dozens of miles long, and the sensation of hyper slow falling chills your nerves. Still, the cable snakes down through naked space to the core of this recursion that is part junk yard, part asteroid belt. There appears to be breathable air around you, a small mercy, though it is stagnant and bitter with chemical scent.

From the side, you hear a metallic holler. Looking over you see a quartet of cyborgs in severe disrepair. Sluggish, they ambulate toward you, clawed metal limbs reaching toward you in zombie like singlemindedness.

Initiative please, difficulty 4. They are a Short distance away.

"Oh crap, we've got incoming," Micah says as he gets ready for battle. His spherical body twists and turns as if he's looking for a humanoid body.

"Oh, dear, oh boy, ok..." Seth says nervously as he spies the Cyber zombies.

Seth, and any others who beat difficulty 4, are free to act before the sacrosancts (as they are called).

Just need an initiative roll from Doc, and am action from Seth.
