Inaara followed him and looked at the ladder and sighed.<span style="color: #a64dff">"my people do use ladders but they had broad, flat rungs, not like this. i can climb it but i may leave marks."</span>she watched him with a frown and then started up the ladder slowly. Eru was standing in the window which was open to let the warm air in and she giggled.<span style="color: #ffa64d">"your daddy is as silly as you are beautiful my little Macey." </span>she looked over as Inaara came up into view and frowned.<span style="color: #ffa64d">"i don't know her."</span><span style="color: #a64dff">"it's okay, i won't even come inside your home." </span>Eru nodded and looked at the Draenei priestess through the window.<br/><br/><span style="color: #ff4d4d">"Order beat you to the world domination part. oh, oh, i am not nearly old enough to start worrying about that you smart ass. they get along with the Animus just fine so i don't think that will do anything but make them angry with you."</span>she stood up and motioned him to follow her into the small bedroom off to the side of her office. she had obviously been staying here for a while now but it was not her true home from the bare bones nature of it. she took him to the balcony where a gorgeous gold and copper telescope stood on an equally beautiful tripod. it was pointed at the Seraphim moon and she motioned for him to look into the eyepiece. when he did he would clearly see the monumental central spire of the city, it's height easily dwarfing some mountains and it was obviously constructed from the ground up. the resolution was so good that he could just make out the shapes of the people coming in and out at the base but the details were blurry.<span style="color: #ff4d4d"> "we couldn't possibly build anything that big. they have flying vehicles which move around at tremendous speeds, we are talking ten to twenty times faster then our swiftest bird... but that isn't what concerns me, this is."</span>she nudged him away and looked in as she moved the scope several degrees.<span style="color: #ff4d4d"> "watch that tall round thing."</span>it would be about five minutes where it did nothing and she just kept telling him to watch but finally the tube erupted with a great gout of fire and the rocket flew up so quickly he would have trouble tracking it with the telescope. for the first time in his life he was watching something ascend into space where the rocket, while hard to see once out of the atmosphere he could still track it as it deployed a series of satellites into orbit of the moon.<span style="color: #ff4d4d"> "even the Animus is baffled by the technology they are using. i have been watching them for some time, the city seems to have but a fraction of the population it was built to house though there are a great many children going to what i can only assume are schools... but even the flying thing isn't what concerns me the most, if i may." </span>she took over again and re-aimed the telescope back to the city but a different area and she gestured for him. once he looked again he would see a stream of vehicles arriving at one end of a huge rectangular building and at the other end a smaller vehicle popped out every two minutes like clockwork.<span style="color: #ff4d4d">"they have hundreds of these buildings and they all make different things. most of the time the products are loaded into those big box vehicles to move around but this one makes those vehicles. there seem to only be fifty people working in that building from what i have been able to count. and they are capable of great destruction."</span>she took the telescope again and turned it far to the side and tracked something before letting him have it again. this time he was watching one of the harvesters taking down the Gintala trees around the barrier, the scale was hard to tell but the trees were obviously huge and this machine was taking them down one after the other, sometimes two or three at a time vanishing into it's maw while great piles of usable lumber were spit out the back end and being slowly picked up by another vehicle to load onto yet another train of vehicles to take away.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
