He sighed, and sent an image of the hole, the same one she had seen before he had descended into it, but this time it ended in a solid rock floor.<em>Just like I expected, sadly.</em><br/><br/>He slammed his foot into the floor, just to ensure it was actually solid, before heading back up to the guards. "You can disperse, it has left. And anyone still inside is now officially lost. I doubt we will ever see it again.<br/><br/>Wonder why it came here though..."<br/><br/>He let Mr. Silvervein know that machine and all its tunnels and inhabitants had left, so there was no need to get the emergency council session going. They only needed to let whoever was in charge of repossessing the property know that it was no longer occupied, and the family of the guard know he had been lost in the line of duty, no body recovered. Done with that, he returned to the heavy weapon range, and continued testing the normal large, heavy repeating crossbow until it finally failed. Once that happened, he started on the +1<em>endless ammo</em>large heavy repeating crossbow, doing the same test. He had two of those types, meant for testing the design, and four +3<em>distance, seeking, endless ammo</em>large, heavy repeating crossbows for the final version of the full experiment, once it was ready for live testing on hostile targets.
