Previously in the UVG:

Our heroes entered Vicar’s Ear an ancient complex in a remote area North of the Ultraviolet Grasslands known as Three Sticks Lake. They have heard rumors that deep under the structure the body of a machine human can be found. The ventured into the dungeon, restored power to the system and now stand in front of a closed elevator door, talking to Belle, the artificial elevator operator.

 

Vicar’s Beach III

Belle whispers in a frightened voice: “There is someone inside of me. They are unwell…” Sarqo asks Belle to open the door just wide enough to allow Flux to enter. When Flux returns he spits out a slip of ticker paper reading: +++ woman inside w/ backpack and spear +++ foul smell +++ golden cube projecting swirling geometric lights+++.

Sarqo enters the elevator protected by the mask of a porcelain prince and spots the woman, who is slumped against the wall and unmoving - apart from her twitching skeletal fingers. Sarqo carefully approaches the robed figure, removing her hood which reveals a ghoulish dried face with flickering eyes. He spots a golden puzzle box lying inn her lap and slips it into his sack just before it starts to solve itself. There are symbols above the opposing doors reading:

• Top Floor / Maintenance 6 (personnel only)
• Exit / Observatory
• Visitor Center
• Reactor / Maintenance 7 (personnel only)

Belle announces that Vicar, the steward class machine human who is supposed to greet visitors is currently undergoing maintenance and therefore unavailable. They decide to take the elevator to the visitor center. The doors open to a lush and colorful lounge with silver flying-saucer-shaped lamps and a bar, staffed by an animatronic bar keeper, who serves Azure a fancy cocktail. There is a gift shop to one side behind a glass wall and doors to the Media-Library and Cinema 2000.

Their exploration of the rooms is first interrupted by a slightly disoriented, shoe box sized insectoid drone vome belching black smoke and later by a spidery detona-vome. Azure tries to grapple the creature but it wriggles out of her grip and explodes, severely wounding her. Before they retreat to the elevator Saffron grabs a bottle of champaign from the bar and Sarqo a mobile baby toy with satellites and space stations. Sarqo patches Azure up while they descend to the bottom floor.

Saffron peaks into the dark room with her multi spectrum vision that reveals a pool with a strange current and six immobile figures floating under water. Led by Saffron they hold hands like children and tiptoe to a corridor. Inside they come upon a junction where Saffron senses warmth coming from the corridor to the right. and a heavy vault door ahead.
