Lorna had finished sorting out her weapons in her drones' cores, feeling relieved that they were in order now. She didn't have time to properly assemble them back in the laboratory and it had ticked her off a bit to see that they weren't in order. Although, she never really had the time to get pissed.

She picked up a clean cloth and wiped down her arms from any dust. I should take a shower later.

With a flick of her hands, she summoned a disk-shaped drone that whirred above her shoulder. She still needed to run several more diagnostics on her weapons before she was completely done with everything.

A ringing sound could be heard, signalling dinner.

"Oh, dinner, should we get going then?" asked Lorna, seeing Add still working on his Dynamos. He didn't respond, which to Lorna meant that she should get dinner for two. She looked at her drone and gave it a short command, "Diagram Program, parade."

The Disk beeped before purple lines started stretching out from the centre, causing line openings and zigzagging patterns throughout it. It faced the wall on its flat surface and started spinning rapidly as Lorna left the room. The Disk started shooting screens of Weapon Diagrams onto the wall, sorting them into order and enlarging the screens until it covered the whole wall. This managed to catch the attention of Add who heard the screens attaching to the wall.

"Hoh…so these are her weapons, huh? Kehehe, how interesting…"

The screens showed pictures of some of her weapons, listing down numbers and options of seeing Weapon Info. The disk drone had finished projecting the diagrams and looked at Add. For a moment, it projected a small screen. The screen was glitching out, unstable but maintaining its form. It was mostly pitch black, save for the few yellow code strings running through it.

"A glitch in the system, huh."

The screen became less stable, fizzing at irregular intervals. The code strings began to form two circles like eyes. Before the screen disappeared, a wide Chelsea smile formed on the screen. Add could feel a sense of animosity coming from the screen as it disappeared. What the hell was that? He thought to himself.

The drone returned to normal before it dropped a small cube drone into the air. The cube drone flew out the room as it found its way to where Lorna was, which wasn't too far. She was already back with two trays of food.

She saw Add still staring a the disk drone and frowned.

"Is something wrong?" she asked with a quizzical look.

"Keh, nothing at all," he responded.

Lorna only shrugged and placed down her tray on her table. Shortly after, she placed the second tray on Add's table before returning to her table.

So this is an inn, huh? She started thinking about her day so far, having ended up on the flipside of things. In her eyes, she was handling things pretty well. Even without much communications skills, she managed to get dinner (and to be honest, she was just handed two trays without her asking for them) and fought her best as well. Now that I think about it…it's night time, isn't it? With a glance out the window, the sky was blotted out by the village's ceiling. There wasn't a way to tell.

Lorna went downstairs, following the arrow directions to the showers. Luckily, most of the shower cells were vacated so she found one near the door. All of the showers were quite short, befitting ponggo height. Before she entered the shower, she took off her clothes and folded them. She slipped them into her Storage and changed her arms' surface to waterproof. She was familiar with showers since that was all what the laboratory had.

The floor beneath her was metal and reflected her with the water flowing around.

"I wonder if it's still there," she muttered to herself.

Lorna looked down at her reflection, pulling her hair behind her ears. The diagonal light in the cell helped her see her own face clearly.

"And of course, it hasn't changed."

Sure enough, her eyes were yellow in her own reflection. A cold yellow stared back against dark blue, never disappearing.

It didn't matter what light she shone on it, no tests would explain why her eyes were yellow in a reflection. She only knew her eyes were dark blue was because it didn't always used to be yellow. Once she could see her own dark blue eyes, but after an incident she has no recollection of in the laboratory, it turned yellow.

It wasn't something of vital importance, but when Lorna stared at her reflection's eyes. She could always feel as if someone was staring back. Someone was watching her with the same eyes, same face, same expression, but not with the same intention. She felt like it was waiting, she didn't know what, but it waited patiently. Perfectly biding its time.

Shaking her head, there wasn't any point in worrying about it. After all, I've got a whole sky island to explore tomorrow! The Altera Core would surely be something to explore. A whole place filled with unfamiliar technology. Not her first time with such a thing.

On the next morning, Adel gave both of them the map to Altera Core and saw them off with a warning, "You better watch out for the Mercenaries and Nasods, or you'll be rolling in the deep with the corpses, pong."

There weren't any ill intentions in the warning even though it a bit harsh.

"Many ponggos lost their lives out there and I don't want two youngsters to join their ranks, pong. Also, rumor has it that the leader of the Crow Mercenaries might be manipulated by the Nasods, pong."

"I see…so you guys tried to fight the Nasods and Mercenaries?" asked Lorna.

"We did, pong. Although, not on purpose, pong. We ponggos used to work in Transporting Tunnel B4-1, mining precious minerals, pong. We were also close to finding a rare ore, but we accidently stumbled upon the Nasods, pong. We could've had it all…but we only lost many of us to the hostile Nasods, pong. As for the Mercenaries, they attacked us when we were making our way back to the village, pong. Although they let up early, there were some casualties…pong…"

"Then we're not going to meet the same ending as your race, then," said Add. "Come on, Lorna, let's go."

He quickly walked off again and Lorna only offered Adel a polite bow before running to follow Add again.
