The sphere (well, mostly a sphere) is slowly dragged up to the top, and then put on runners shoulders, and slowly taken off the ship.<br/><br/>The path is slow, but pretty direct, especially considering that there's pretty much nobody out at this time.  Eventually, Noriko would have to take a little distance between herself and the sphere, because she does not at all blend in with the runners at all, being female, more than half dressed, and not sweating like a dog.<br/><br/>But she does recognize this place. It's the satrap's residence. And given that this probably counts as an important package, there's lights on in the place, and even some monks chanting in the small courtyard.
