Once everyone was up, I stood in the stairwell on the third floor with Riley. I was pretty excited to check out the floors alone.
Sure there would be untold horrors, but I was ready as I could be. Once I sealed up the exit, I would edit my form.
"Are you sure about going down there alone?" Riley asked me, and I grinned.
"Why? Did you want to join me?" I bugged him, and Riley crossed my arms.
"No, that is not what I meant. I know how resourceful you are from our few interactions, but there are some bizarre and violent things down there. Most of them are cargo from the Gray's ship that we captured after it crashed four years ago. I wasn't there, obviously, but some of the things killed a lot of people before getting captured," Riley explained, and I nodded.
"Yes, I understand that there is going to be some serious resistance down there, but I won't look like this," I explained, and Riley nodded, uncrossing his arms.
