"I guess we'll find out."

At least this time, they don't have to move very far. It's back to crawling as they exit the room, but then Tsedc leads them to a ladder straight up through a wide tube, and then another long, low lit corridor, before stopping in the middle of it. They reach out and slide open a door, which was set into the wall so that to Hera, it had been barely visible.

The room is very small - the ceiling a little more than a meter off the floor. It's completely dark, except for a red glow that emanates from the floor, running just along the edge the walls, so that Hera can tell the room is maybe three meters wide. There's a block of darkness on the floor - as she steps into the room, she can feel that the floor isn't solid, but a length of metal grating, wide enough for her to just stick her fingers through.

The block of darkness, she realizes as she feels it, is a thick mat, softer than the ones they'd sat on before. It's long and wide enough for even the two of them to rest on, though they won't have much room beyond that.
