"You went adventuring with Drake as well?" Teldryn asked. "No, he just accepted to battle with me… yes I did follow him. We fought in many adventures but the biggest were when he followed me. We fought swole trolls, sweet trolls, waifus, kaiju, and horrifying monsters from the Quagmire that are almost as horrifying as the undead Fabricants of the Brass Forest." Brhuce explained. "But, who are you, really?" The Doctor asked. "I'm just a Telvanni Trainlord and former Archmagister, honorary Century of the Chronographers, Headmancer of the Technomancer's Union, and certified dermatologist. Who are you, then?" Brhuce asked. "I'm The Doctor; a time traveller, from another universe that the Voyagers' database refers it as Yendys zero-fifteen-point-nine Iota. I was sent here by a tiny green computer robot, can't say his name, to find out why Landfall has not occurred in this universe." The Doctor explained.
"Where's your time machine then? And I thought you said time machine, not a universe machine." Brhuce asked. "One: she's parked outside. Two: she was fitted with an Omnibridge so she can travel to other universes without incident." The Doctor explained. "Well, what does she look like then?" Brhuce asked. "You know those blue police boxes from the forties of this universe? Something a little like that but a bit taller and more darkish blue." The Doctor described. "Hey nerds, can we get on with this adventure? I hate it when some guy in the middle of the quest tells us stuff and it takes a thousand years to continue!" Sheogorath complained.
"The Mad God is right, we need to get to the bottom of this." Nisfar said. "At last, someone who agrees with me, let's not dally. We've got a time-mystery to solve!" Sheogorath exclaimed excitingly. The group goes down the hallway and find themselves in a circular room with other hallways. "Now let's see, I went through the south hallway while your group looked like you went through the north hallway. We were looking for a dynamo core that powered a centurion that Brhuce and Drachen piloted occasionally." said Llavados.
"We had tracked the energy signature but it irregularly goes on and off. I say we split up and go down each of these hallways." Brhuce proposed. "What about clairvoyance spell?" Teldryn suggested. "The spell is only short range and will take multiple casts for us to get there. Plus, I don't want my arm to get sore." Brhuce explained. "Well, I guess we're stuck here. What are we going to do?" The Doctor said sarcastically. "I'll tell you what we're going to do. We all wear these communicators and split up into the rooms we haven't been to. And these chalks to keep track of where we've been if this place is a maze." The Doctor commanded.
"Who made you in charge?" Brhuce asked aggressively. "Century Brhuce, he has a point. We didn't expect anyone else and this man seems to be more prepared than you." Llavados remarked. "Fine, let's listen to the creepy old guy instead of the guy with a bajillion degrees." Brhuce whined. Drake finishes fixing Z, places him down on the floor and presses a button at the centre to activate him. Z activates and extends a spindly robotic arm.
Drake gives it a chalk and a command via iPear to follow the southwest hallway and to leave a trail of chalk behind it. The Doctor hands Brhuce communicator, but rejects it. "I already have a radio in my helmet. I can tune it to your buds' frequency." commented Brhuce. "Fine with me, anyone else has an excuse?" asked the Doctor. "Of course, Drake can't speak so I have to speak for him." answered Teldryn.
"Okay, so nobody has anything else to say? Anyways, good luck everyone." The Doctor said. Teldryn and Drake walk through the northeast hallway, The Doctor walks through the east hallway, Sheogorath dances through the west hallway, Brhuce walks through the southeast hallway, and Nisfar walks through the northwest hallway. As Teldryn and Drake are walking down the continuous hallway, they hear the clanging of metal getting louder. "We must be near some sort of mine." Drake spelled. They look through the end of the tunnel and find an entire cavern of bronze-coloured ores from a catwalk.
"What are they?" Teldryn wondered in awe. A tiny Dwarven spider holding some of the ore walks in front of them. Teldryn stomps on it and examines the ore. "It's completely smooth, almost like crystal. Is this… Dwemer Ore?" wondered Teldryn. A Dwarven sphere finds them and unfolds itself into battle mode.
Drake shoots the animunculus with a high-calibre Dwemer assault rifle Sheogorath gave him. The sphere is quickly pushed off the catwalk by the gunfire as more reinforcements come from both sides of the catwalk. "We're surrounded! Can't you just Fus Ro Dah them?" Teldryn suggested worriedly. "No, I follow the Way of the Voice." Drake spelled. "Forget the Greybeards! You're the Dragonborn; you can just shout things and then whoosh! You're at the other side of the… wait a minute, let's try that! It's not an action of violence so you're not breaking the Way of the Voice!" Teldryn suggested.
Drake carries Teldryn over his shoulder and shouts "Wuld Nah Kest!" and are instantly carried onto an incoming open elevator with a tiny spider on it. Teldryn kicks it off the elevator as the spheres shoot at them with bolts. "Ha, you missed!" Teldryn mocked. Meanwhile, The Doctor is running through the hallway until he sees a train platform complete with an oversized train made of Dwemer metal that takes up two tracks. "This is one big train, and it looks like it's carrying something. By the heat I assume it just arrived. Hello, is anyone here? I'm The Doctor?" The Doctor announced himself.
"Who's there, is it you, Drachen?" a ghostly voice similar to Brhuce asked. "I'm The Doctor. Who are you, mysterious person who is definitely not Brhuce?" The Doctor replied sarcastically.
