Jeremiah begins thinking about the words he would use in order to compel the two reptilian mechanics into leaving the storage.
He knocks on the door.
'Specialist. There’s a problem with the cast downstairs.'
His inflection and pauses are nearly identical to a Glairborn.
… a fraction of his memory comes back.
The wind blows against Jeremiah.
His gaze remain fixated on the pillars of thermal stones, currently being excavated by the Glairborn.
Scraps of the dark grey stone are broken down and sculpted.
【.. possible that these could be cut into containers?】
‘Yes. We could even make utensils with it, if you want to.’
He faintly overhears a conversation of Tawan and a Glairborn that towers over him. This must’ve been quite a few decades ago, when the prayers weren’t centralized on only three deities.
..
…
Another memory is recalled.
Tawan is inspecting rows of caged animals.
【About the sigils. Can I put them on anything?】
“Well… it is technically possible, but they don’t last long on anything that isn’t living. We’re not quite sure how to do that yet.”
【Notify me when the experiments are done】
【Maybe you’ll make a breakthrough again. Speaking birds would be a lot cheaper than speaking monkeys】
…
..
It must’ve been many decades since that moment.
It seems that they’ve found a breakthrough judging by the fact that speaking skulls are used instead of something living. The overseers being able to bestow their marks onto objects opens up many possibilities for technological advancements, but its not something they are concerned with right now.
The door is opened and the two Glairborn mechanics try to find the person that talked to them. They are distracted by the group of people on the stairway which gives the deities an opportunity to dash into the exoskeleton and chassis storage. Their confusion will buy them time.
In a few moments, the four deities sprint to the back of the room.
Opening up the red hatch, they see a rod in the middle. Dark and light green colors form a malachite like pattern on Simon’s portion of the key.
To take it would mean to alert everyone.
