Lewis stood by the elevator for about five minutes before Duncan and simon finally figured out how the elevator worked. Simon looked around the top floor with his usual dwarven curiosity. He looked in a few chests until he found a pickaxe and tried to mine the floor before Lewis stopped him.
"Simon..hahahah… still the same old muppetry…" Lewis joked as Simon just stared. Lewis looked at the floor where Simon had tried to mine and saw it was actually a carpenter safe. Lewis opened it and found a reward bag and a trophy.
"So I discovered these chests everywhere…they often have mob trophies in and reward bags and other lovely things." Lewis explained. "ill show you where we put the trophies later. Meanwhile…" he opened his reward bag and sighed. Simon looked inside.
"f****g bees!" Simon grumbled. "Oh nooooo anything but bees!" Duncan laughed and shook his head. Lewis opened up his quest book.
"so we've got lots of quests and good stuff to do…so there's the floor we were on that not is off limits… the room with storage and the trophies in, and an empty floor we can put stuff in. so…the quest is we go look at all these floors.. oh yeah there's also our mining floor…." Simon's eyes lit up, indicating his joy at the word 'mining' Lewis pointed at the elevator. And they went down two floors to the trophy room. Simon looked down the long room at the element station. Lewis wandered over to the small ME system for storage. "So this here is brilliant- you can store blocks in a specific pattern and make things like farms.. We will also find reward bags that contain drives that work with this.' Lewis told them before showing how the device worked by bringing up a sugar cane farm drive.
"Right so one of the quests is o get sugar cane…and ill explain why later. Now Simon.." he threw the trophy on the floor and Simon picked it up.
"now then take that spider trophy and put it in the right slot." Simon did so and waited. And waited. And then got bored. "is something supposed to happen?" Simon asked. Lewis shrugged. "im not sure- I guess we have to 'catch 'em all'" he chuckled at his joke. Duncan looked at the wall of elements carefully examining it before nodding.
"so this is a periodic table…so we have elements here?" Duncan mused. Lewis nodded.
"correct- ill show you how to get those elements later. Now then.. ooh good work Simon." Simon had found another safe and yelped out a massive 'IGOOOOOOO!' upon finding a mooshroom trophy-placing it on the correct slot and opening his reward bag-which contained…More bees. Simon sighed and grumpily threw the bag to the floor. Lewis picked up the beehive and saved it for later.
Lewis directed them back again to the elevator- going down a level to the room where they could build. Simon set to work making himself an office and Lewis and Duncan copied his idea. They had a happy moment when they looked at the work they had done so far with pride. Lewis nodded to his friends. Finally he had found what he was missing-human contact. He grinned daftly at Simon, who did the same back along with Duncan. The three of them stood there for a fleeting moment, a temporary bliss separating the trio from the world.
