Gretchen had been expecting something other than a large hole in the floor with stone stairs leading downward. She wasn't exactly sure what she
was expecting, but this wasn't it. Very archaic. A manicured brow arched as she looked up from the darkness towards the man beside her as he gave her a pat on the back. She considered questioning the validity of all this, but never quite got around to it. The rows of pods, maybe. Or the well worn state of the stairs themselves. Or even the impressive scars on Rep himself.
She took a long breath, pursed her lips, and turned her head back down to stare down the hole. "Well, here goes nothing, right?" And there it was again, that half excited smile slipping along full lips as she started downward.
"Oh," she paused a few steps down, turning up to grin at him. "Thanks for all the advice. See you on the other side, Rep!"
