As they descend, the group finds an old map of the place on a wall that gives more information about the stations.
Each station is indicated by the presence of lights and a collective of buildings, so the group only had to look for bright dots.
While the first three stations are connected to each other with bridges and elevators, and sit high above the water, the last two stations sit near the water level and requires a boat to travel there.
After leaving the first and second stations, they group sees the lake beneath the buildings and stones of this cave. It looks rather normal at a distance, being nothing more than murky water.
As they get closer, they realize that the contaminated water moves like any other, it’s only difference is the color: a dark green shade that glistens under the beam of light, reminiscent of blackened steel.
The group covers as much of their bodies as possible with spare clothing before they board a ship next to the edges of water. Ingesting those waters will definitely lethal, but the effects of touching those waters are unknown. Better off not risking it.
Only eyes remain uncovered.
The ship resembles a small fishing ship, with a single sail and operated by six plate armor automatons. Right now the automatons are dropping off crates and bags into elevators, waiting to be operated. It’s the perfect time to sneak onboard.
Unlike the automatons working at the first three stations, the ones on the deck are covered in pink spiky balls, and most of their plates have been warped by countless dents.
