"Agh, augh my nose.. Geez pal, ya gotta watch where yer standin'."```

Kuouo held his snout with the palm of his hand, checking to make sure dust wasn't seeping out. *``'It's a nice set o' armor but damn, almost broke my damn nose over it.'``* Kuouo stepped back, getting a full view of who he just ran into. His eyes suddenly widen, it's... IT WAS. . . 

``Nobody he really knew.`` However, the dude was quite large, making Kuo feel antsy about his already broken leg. The behemoth set in overly-clad armor bent his knee, taking the goat's hand like he was about to propose... Before apologizing and food-zoning the bandit.

"Ehm, yeah? There's a club where I know the owner semi-well 'round here. Once I got paid, I was gonna go over there and stuff my face. Bein' in the Vektet takes a lot outta ya, and I've already been fastin' for nearly three days... Not outta choice, mind ya. If ya want, y'can follow me, butcha gotta pay for yer own shit.```

Kuouo scratched the back of his head, moving past the behemoth and looking outwards toward Balfour, seeing the tabaxi make her way out of the perimeter. *``'Guess she wasn't all too interested in gettin' paid... If we do get paid that is.'``* Kuouo slightly scowled at the prospect of getting gypped but shook his head, keeping his hope for luck and common business decency high enough. He limped over to one of the faceless soldiers, tapping the screen of his face-helmet with the tip of his claw.

*Tap, tap, tap...*

"Eyo, can ya like... Call yer boss down 'ere. Wanna tell 'im we made it back."```
Joe
As everyone crowded into the teleportation gate Cumhall prepared for the worst, he would need to exercise much greater caution on the next floor due to his injuries and damaged equipment, hopefully it would be in less squalor and locating the necessary equipment to make repairs wouldn't be so difficult, the inhabitants however would probably be far less welcoming, the watch was a melting pot of people from all the floors, and intruders were certainly nothing new it would seem, anyone who sought to board the ark would come from the bottom. The higher floors however...
Thankfully none of that mattered, as his sight became clouded he expected to light of an enclosed interior space, and the stagnant air of the Vektet, instead he was met with the complete opposite, the "Bright" Natural light of the cloudy Balfour and the subtle sound of wind.

His faceplate of his helmet opened slightly, not enough for anyone to get a view of his face but enough to let in some non filtered air as he took a deep breath.

The helmet snapped shut again as he grabbed the drone and skirted off to the side of the group.

As everyone crowded into the teleportation gate, the drone was not so concerned with what was to come but more so with what was in their immediate vicinity; the gate.
On the way into the structure it had been taken by surprise and not given a chance to scan the ground gate, but now it took delight in probing deep into the structure's mechanical and magical inner workings and committing it to memory, *This* It thought *Will make them quite pleased* It beeped happily and twirled, perhaps it would earn itself a hardware upgrade?
And as they all emerged into the perimeter camp it was taken by surprise, and was mildly disappointed, it had not suffered any damage during their expedition and had no supplies in need of restock, its internal battery could last another 83.5 hours and it was not susceptible to fatigue, it would have preferred a swift and immediate continuation to the next floor.
However as it was given its new orders by Cumhall it did not argue, zipping off into the sky- and would likely not be seen again until they re entered the mega structure.
Joe
He returned to the others in time to catch the new arrival and hear Kuouo's proposal.

- "A club? Pity the state that coventry has become, there was this old family diner I used to frequent but it closed down not long after the disparity. The family are fine though and i do hope they will re-open once some order has returned to the island." -
```
He began to dust off and fix his clothing, it had become quite scuffed up during their scuffles. He wouldn't miss the opportunity to recuperate but was keenly aware of how much time that would take, he wouldn't miss the opportunity to explore the second floor before it too had been thrown into disarray like the first, he knew not where what he sought would be contained and so would need to explore each of the floors to be sure.

- "Here is hoping they dont drag us through too much paperwork and nonsence, how long were we in there? Must have been a few hours atleast." -
