Princess Zaburshia had little time to protest as Jade did what was necessary to transform. "Wait, what the-" she expressed with a blush. "You could-at least ask ahead of time," she said, blushing.<br/><br/>Fortunately the plan went off without a hitch, and the engineer bought their cover story. "I can assure that chances of catastrophic failure by accident is 0.00016%. I will reduce unnecessary stress levels by demonstrating this facility's safety measures."<br/><br/>The alien began walking without waiting for a response.<br/><br/>"Errr, we are sisters!" the Princess called out as they followed.<br/><br/>"That is statistically probable," the engineer responded. "You bear remarkable physical similarities for examples of your species."<br/><br/>During the tour the ladies passed by several sets of doors. There were more soldiers around than usual, although a single upraised hand caused them to let him through. Eventually they stopped by a transparent window overlooking a very hot room. The visible heat waves gave the place a shimmering quality, and bright orange-colored tubes ran through two-story tall machinery separated by catwalks. There were no visible organic workers, merely hovering drones making adjustments to panels with fine-tuned manipulators.<br/><br/>"This regulates the heat generated from Tharsin's natural weather," the engineer explained. "Every hurricane, every tsunami, a veritable engine the size of the largest asteroids. Excess energy is dispensed, harmlessly, through the rest of the planet, reabsorbed into other fueling points hundreds of kilometers away and so on and so forth."<br/><br/>Princess Zaburshia shared a knowing look and a rare smirk with her 'sister.' But while the engine room was seemingly unoccupied, it was unclear if the drones had any defensive capabilities. And while not looming close by, the long hallway spanning behind them did not have much hiding places and the presence of soldiers patrolling in pairs meant that help (or in this case hindrances) wouldn't be far away if the engineer faced trouble.<br/><br/>At this point the Princess pretended to faint, collapsing on the ground. Ah, so hot...!"<br/><br/>The engineer turned towards her. "Are you in need of sustenance?"<br/><br/>Unbeknownst to him, his security key momentarily detached from his belt, allowing Jade to pick it up if she so desired.<br/><br/><em>The engine room can be accessed via the engineer's security card, although going inside the atmosphere will be quite hot (treat as Extreme Heat environment). However, means of disabling the drones or even fooling around with the panels may cause a heat buildup which may make for good sabotage/distraction.</em>
